We had a great stay at Holden Beach. I love the house is ocean front! There's a few things I didn't enjoy about the house itself. There isn't access to the beach from the front of the house, you have to go through the house to the back porch (ocean side). This makes it hard for items you don't want to carry through the house like beach chairs, coolers, etc. The luggage elevator did not work so we had to carry very heavy items up the stairs. The back porch (ocean side) is not covered which is fine but owner could at least provide an umbrella for the table. We found the back porch (ocean side) lights didn't work at all so it was hard to see. There is water damage on a few of the bedroom walls. There isn't overhead lights in the bedrooms only lamps. That was fine but we found we couldn't turn the lamps off without unplugging them from the wall. Both bathrooms/ showers are very small. The washer and dryer are in the bottom of the house, no access to them from inside the house. This is a cute house but needs some upgrades.
