The location is great, but the property is in dire need of a deep cleaning and routine maintenance. Air conditioning wasn't working, dishwasher broke after one use, light bulbs burned out in multiple rooms, sand on furniture, mold in showers, and clutter everywhere! Felt like we were poaching in some strangers home--something I've never felt in a VRBO before. Was managed through Vacasa--staff was nice but manager would not return calls to discuss the issues.

We loved this home! The neighborhood is great and permanent residents were very friendly. Beach access was a breeze and conveniently located! My father in law had very little problems getting his beach wheelchair out to the surf! Looking to book again in the future!

Location- close to the beach access. Screened in porch. Good size bedrooms. Large area below the house.

Overall, this was a nice house that satisfied our needs. We have been coming to Holden Beach for many, many years (35+), so we have stayed in a lot of different houses. This was the first time in this one which was originally rented through Alan Holden before switching to Vacasa. The house was nice with room to move around and be "apart" for each other and the kitchen was well stocked; however, there was NO STORAGE space in the kitchen. All of the cabinets were full of dishes/pots, so you had no place to store your food items. We had to move stuff around and over-stuff cabinets to make space. There was a lot of "stuff" in the house (we refer to it as hodge-podge decorations) on the shelves and tables. While it may be nice for looks, vacationers go for functionality and simplicity. I would rather have the space to put my things instead of having to shuffle it around to make room then move it all back before we left. A few of the ceiling fans only ran on one speed, and the bathrooms have no exhaust fans which we found odd and made for a very stuffy shower. Overall, the house was nice and served us well, but I would prefer the "less is more" approach in some areas.

This home is well equipped with everything you will need for food prep to extra bedding. The furniture is comfortable and there is plenty of seating. Our family enjoyed the swing and the sofa sitting area on the lower level of the house. I would stay here again.
