"On Holden Pond" - Luxury Oceanfront Pet Friendly Home, 5 Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms

Welcome to "On Holden Pond," a charming yellow A-frame beach front cottage that radiates coastal character and tranquility. Nestled on the picturesque west end of Holden Beach, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath pet-friendly retreat combines timeless charm with modern updates, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean from expansive decks and large ocean-facing windows.

Step onto your private beach boardwalk, and enjoy all the beauty Holden Beach has to offer. Whether it's sipping your morning coffee on the deck or stargazing under the coastal sky, "On Holden Pond" is the perfect setting for a memorable getaway.

Inside the Cottage

Recently renovated, "On Holden Pond" blends comfort and style with a bright and airy interior. Vaulted ceilings, coastal-inspired décor, and warm natural light create an inviting ambiance. The living and dining area features new, plush furniture, a flat-screen TV, and sleek Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring. The fully equipped kitchen is a cook's dream, complete with updated appliances, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, and all the essentials to prepare meals for the family.

Room for Everyone

This A-frame cottage comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests:

Bedroom 1 (1st Floor): Queen bed, TV, shared full bath with walk-in shower, and a street-side view.

Bedroom 2 (1st Floor): Queen bed, TV, shared full bath with walk-in shower, and a street-side view.

Great property, perfect for 2 families of 4
We had a great time at this property. It was very clean and nicely equipped. It had a fully equipped kitchen, and TVs in all bedrooms. The deck and yard were very nice, and would be perfect if you were traveling with a dog, as there were many gates to keep them contained. The only thing that was a bit of an inconvenience was having to make up the beds ourselves and bring bath towels. Usually that is provided in rentals.

Beautiful ocean front home
Our family stayed at On Holden Pond for our yearly beach getaway and we were very glad we chose this rental. It is newly renovated and has a very spacious light and airy decor. The beds were all very comfortable and there was plenty of dresser and closet space to put your clothes. We loved the updated deck and walkway too! We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs for morning coffee and looking at the stars on the further out sitting area closer to the beach. There were also several gates along the deck (at the top of all staircases) so keeping pets or little ones within the deck area was very easy…loved that! The only minor negative was that a few kitchen cabinets had crumbs and food debris from the previous tenant and there were little ants that invaded. Even after cleaning the cabinets the ants remained and got into our food. The cleaning person neglected to clean the bathroom drawers as well and there was sticky toothpaste residue and hair in a few drawers. So I just kept my toiletries in my bag. Otherwise the home was very clean inside and out. The living room had a very comfortable couch and two recliners and a swivel chair. So 6 people can sit comfortably. The dining room table is also connected to living room and chairs can double for living room seating if needed. This place was great and really met and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again!
