We would like for you to come and have a wonderful and memorable week at Holden Beach.
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.
