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!

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.

Fabulous time!!!

This place was everything we could have asked for!! Beautiful view of the ocean from the front porch with easy beach access right across the street. Wasn't really busy even though it is only a couple blocks from the bridge!Kitchen was well stocked which we loved because we cook alot. Beds were comfortable enough. Was very sad to leave. Will definitely rent again maybe in October next time. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!!!

Best Fall Break Ever

We have stayed in this home before. You are on the 2nd row but you can see the ocean from the home. Also it has a private access right at the house, just cross the street and you are only steps from having your toes in the sand. There are 2 showers that have to be shared. (One shower is super small) This house is great for a family, and you can take your dog with you. The home is very clean. The best feature is the beds are already made when you get there, and you don't have to take it apart when you leave. If you are looking for a great get away this is the home you want. Side note, we found our best great white shark tooth ever, right in front of our walkway down at the water.

Great get away!

We had a wonderful time staying at daydreamer. The house was clean, had outside footwash/shower, and easy access to the beach which was pleasantly uncrowded for a holiday weekend. There was no lack in communication about our stay and check in/check out procedures. Appreciated that we were notified about being able to check in early. Would love to come back again!

It was nice but needs shades on all 3 doors. King bed is very uncomfortable. Also one lamp in the bedroom wasnt working. A recliner in the livingbroom would have been nice where you could put your feet up.

Beautiful location

We very much enjoyed our stay at this house. It was clean and well appointed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch/balcony where we could see the ocean (or, at night, hear it). We liked the location and that the neighborhood was so quiet (we were there in early March). We chose the house because it is dog-friendly. We lost our 13-year old pup just before our scheduled arrival and decided to go ahead and make the trip. It was a good decision. This house was a wonderful place to grieve his absence. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house!

This house was perfect for quick getaway for us. Had a work space for my husband and private beach access across the street was perfect. Loved this house and will rent again. Was going to rent again in Oct but unfortunately it was booked for the dates we needed. Very neat and clean. Linens were included and beds already made was a huge huge plus!

Has Potential

Place was in great location but not well equipped. For example only one trash bag supplied for a very small kitchen trash can. Only soft washcloths to scrub dirty pots & pans, no steel wool. After looking for an outlet in king bedroom, was left aghast at how incredibly filthy the baseboards were behind bed. The couches are so densely covered in dog fur, it doesn’t appear they’ve ever been vacuumed. The coffee table & side tables were coated in dog fur under the glass tops. The windows in living room were saturated in dog nose prints and dog drool. Even the beverage coasters were saturated in an unknown film of funkiness. All the previous reviews lauded about the cleanliness of the place so we were truly baffled & disappointed.The kitchen & bathrooms were clean but there are many areas being skipped. However, bed linens & towels super fresh and clean. This is our second time renting a beach house that was quite dirty so we were quite disappointed.

Holden Beach Bungalow

Property was as advertised! Clean, well appointed, comfortable, across the street from the beach, with partial views of the ocean from the deck and living space. Kitchen appliance were new and kitchen was well equipped. Minor constructive feedback would be no beach chairs available, bath room sink drained slow, water was off to the outside showers. We found the king and queen beds to be uncomfortable and the bed frames and head boards to be noisey when rolling over. My only complaint isn’t about the property its self but the amount of traffic on ocean blvd and the number of cars that exceed the 35 mph speed limit.
