We enjoyed our stay at this home for a 3 night girls trip of 4. Great location to the beach. Access is right across the street and restaurants are within walking distance or just a short drive. You can also see the ocean from the porch! The kitchen was stocked with all cookware we needed to make meals. I'm sure I could mention small things if I were to be picky but overall, the home was cozy and clean. Would stay here again.

No WiFi service (and no tv), dishwasher broken, clothes dryer broken. Horrible mattress. Front door doesn’t shut properly and you can see daylight through the busted panels. Door to deck is difficult to open due to handleIssue. Back door was shut and locked; however, wind was able to shake it loose and blow itOpen. We have stayed at Holden Beach many times and have never had such a horrible experience.

Great find!

One of the better beach stays we have had. Nice, clean home, and pet friendly. Great location. Not beachfront, but such an easy, short walk to the beach with access just across the street. We rented bikes for our stay and biked to dinner every evening. Great area for walks and bike rides. Highly recommend!

Perfect location

Our family stayed for about 10 days and had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect for accessing the beach with little kids and within in a short walk to a great coffee place and ice cream! The shower bunk below the house was perfect for the kids after a long day on the beach. We will be back!

Great winter stay at Holden Beach

We had a wonderful, if short, stay at Day Dreamer! The house is conveniently located across the street from the neighborhood beach access, which was so convenient. We would definitely stay again!

Dog Friendly Beach Vaca!

This was our first visit to Holden Beach and we will definitely be back! We brought our 2 dogs and loved the easy access to the beach just right across the street. The roads behind the house were also very enjoyable to walk and the park was very convenient. The house is older but charming.

Great location

This is a great place for a young family! Excellent location, very close to the beach. Yes, you need to cross a busy street to get there, but that’s just how Holden Beach is laid out, and the house is directly across from the public beach access point. The house was clean, and everything worked as expected. Host was great with communication. For take out, we highly recommend the Hot Buffalo, as well as Castaways to dine in, both of which are within 5-10 min drive from the beach house.

Enjoyed our stay

Our crew really enjoyed the week with lots of beach time. Accommodations and the location are good. Loved the outside showers, hoses and close proximity to the beach. The main road can be busy at times. Being dog friendly was a must for us. Some of the outlets in the kitchen made the lights flicker and the appliances are a bit dated. Has all the cookware you could need but no extra trash bags, paper towels or basic cooking items (oil, seasoning, etc). Grocery is close by. Holden is a family beach with a chill vibe but not much night life.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at this charming little house at Holden Beach. This home was perfect for my wife and I. We enjoyed the easy beach access, it was also very quiet even though we were right on thr main road. The layout of the home was very spacious and well thought out. The decor was very comfortable and beach friendly. Loves enjoying the nice breeze on the front deck.
