Holden Beach House / Short 5 minute walk to Beach / Perfect Family Vacation Home

We invite you to visit our beach house, which is family-owned and operated for many years. Our home is located on a quiet street and is a 5-minute, one-block walk to the beach. We have a neighborhood crosswalk with stairs for easy beach access on Ocean Blvd. We provide many beach chairs (reviewed annually) and two rolling beach carts to make it easy to take all of your necessary items over to the beach. We also have boogie-boards and a small cooler for your beach beverages. Our home is family-friendly, including your pets! All entry doors have keypads, making it easier for family members to come and go at their convenience. Our front yard has plenty of space for parking. We are Premier Host VRBO’s highest rating.

Our home is located 6 blocks from the bridge, making it convenient to restaurants and shopping. It is also near the recreation areas near the Town Hall (tennis courts, basketball court, and entertainment venue.) The streets have very little traffic, making it perfect for bike riding, jogging or walking your dog. We invite you to come and enjoy a relaxing vacation with your family, friends, and pets. Join the families that come each year, making new memories! If you have a large group and need more space, there is a duplex directly across the street that sleeps 8 people. It is listed on VRBO as property 220585.

Our guests have rated our vacation home as exceptional with a 9.8 (out of 10) rating with 315 reviews! We appreciate your reviews and any recommendations that would make your next visit more enjoyable.

This is our 3rd time renting this lovely home with friends for a long weekend. It's a great deal and just a short walk to the beach. You can hear the waves from the house. We hope to make this a yearly trip and add more days!

Very Cozy Beach Cottage
Pleasantly surprised with this beach cottage, because I managed property and sometimes looks can be deceiving. This Cottage is very clean, has comfortable beds, the kitchen is well stocked. They had an abundance of paper towels toilet paper, soap as well as bar soap for the shower.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and nice. There were a lot of sand spurs in the yard which our dog hated of course but I know that can be normal at most places at the beach.

Excellent Location
Home is in an excellent location, very close to beautiful beach. Plenty of room in the home and very comfortable living room furniture with a nice sized dining table. However, home is dated and needs a good deep clean and some updating in kitchen, bathrooms & electrical outlets. Beds range from soft to extra firm. Having to provide your own linens is a definite drawback as well as going outside, down the stairs and into garage area to access the 2nd full bathroom.

Great home extremely close to the beach.
The house was perfect for our family vacation despite being shortened by Tropical Storm Debby. The house was clean and well stocked. The location was a very short walk to the beach. Byron was a great host with great communication and service. We hope to be back again soon.

Wonderful & great location
My family, 6 adults & a small pup, enjoyed our stay. The house was a close walk to the beach, had plenty of space indoors & for parking, and had all the necessities when it came to cooking. It was very clean & the extra refrigerator & bathroom downstairs came in handy. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. I definitely recommend this home.
