Our family had a great time visiting here in April 2026. We had the pool heated for our stay which was a massive hit for the kids (and adults). Our 6 year old daughter was in that pool just minutes after sunrise, throughout the day, and dancing in the pool after sunset to the color changing pool lights. The whole back area (pool, hot tub, tiki bar, shower, bluetooth speakers, pool toys, etc) was a highlight of our trip with the cooler April weather in the mornings and evenings.Also, fantastic location to see the ocean and access the beach. The corner lot made me appreciate how quickly we could walk (barefoot for many) from the house to the beach. As we walked the neighborhood, we observed that many other houses have a longer trek to the beach. We also appreciate that the house is on a quieter street than the main road that runs through Holden Beach. The house is also within a short walking distance to the Holden Beach playground including Basketball court, which we used a few times.The house itself was great and clean! We had some older adults and teens and there was plenty of space and options for our group with bedrooms, hang out areas, and balconies. And while the elevator wasn't a requirement for us, it certainly made grilling and grocery hauling much easier. Also, we had good interactions with the host and quick responses to any questions we had.
