This is a classic beach cottage with knotty pine tongue-and-groove interior siding. It has been equipped to include everything you will need to enjoy a long and fun-filled vacation at the beach. The oceanfront screened porch is a great place to relax out of the sun and enjoy the cool ocean breezes. Or you can enjoy the same breezes on the sun deck while getting a tan. This family beach is seldom crowded and the strand is less than 100 feet from the sun deck. You will never need to lug around your chairs or sand toys to enjoy them on the beach. Amenities include living, dining, and kitchen areas, plus central H/A, five ceiling fans, a microwave, a washer/dryer, a dishwasher, a cable TV, a stereo, high-speed WiFi, a screened porch, a sundeck, rockers, and a boardwalk to the beach.

Great stay regardless of Hurricane Debby
Loved the screened in porch, and the dog enjoyed lounging in the porch area. Outdoor shower and sand rinse station on the walk way were used often and appreciated. Can’t anticipate hurricanes, but since we were at the beach we didn’t let Debby sour our vacation week and we were able to view the storm from the screened in porch - very impressive.

Going Old Style
Location, location, location!! Lovely ocean views from the large screen porch and large, newer deck. This is one of the original Holden Beach Cottages and the owners have kept it quaint. All the rooms are smaller and it still has the knotty pine paneling. Generous allotment of white towels for the one old-style bathroom. Good linens for the beds. You will not find better access to the beach and water.

Perfect beach getaway!
Left a similar review on Vacasa, but in short this is a perfect location for a beach vacation! The view from the screened in porch is amazing and you can spend your days on the porch watching the ocean and then go out to the water at your leisure. The home is also located very close to shops, fish markets, and the other things to see in Holden Beach. Definitely recommend this location for your next vacation!

This property was beautifully located overlooking Holden Beach. The kitchen was well equipped, the screened in porch was amazing, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The only thing that was missing from this beach house were beach chairs and beach towels. We loved our visit to HB!

Perfect Old School Beach Cottage
If your looking for 5 star fancy this is not for you. If you want 5 star original classic and cozy beach Cottage..... this is for you! Perfect Ocean front cottage with plenty of room! Kitchen has everything down to wine glasses and tea pitchers! Seriously it had it all. They even have laundry pods, dishwasher pods, paper towels /toilet paper and soap for your check in! That was a added bonus for sure Incase you forget it. The absolute only concern is the decking /walkway to the beach It is very old and very weathered as others have stated . It's Part of the classic old school beach property but it could use work for sure. We are booking for next year and plan to keep coming. Be sure to read history of the cottage on kitchen wall ! Lovely neighbor 2 doors down that lives there . She is always on the beach looking for goodies as she makes wreaths and stuff with them . What a lovely life !

Great location
This was a fun vacation for my husband, adult daughter, myself and our family pup Grace. The house is exactly as listed and we were very pleased with the accommodations. We were able to relax and slow down our pace for the week. The walk from the house to the beach was excellent and during the week of the 4th of July the beach was "busy" but not too busy to enjoy ourselves. Being from out of state, the restrictions on the beach were something we didn't know about until our 2nd day there. These restrictions are completely reasonable, but just know your furry family friend is restricted from the beach from 9am to 5pm. Also, everyone around us adhered to the noise restrictions and after 10pm it got nice and quiet. Such a great atmosphere! Upon check in we found the ice maker in the fridge was not working properly (it looked like a plastic bag got twisted up in it somehow?) and we called the rental agency and they were there in just a few hours to fix it. :-) We had to call again as the high winds of the week tore some screens loose and they were great to respond on those as well. The house was clean upon arrival. Be sure to check with the listing company as to what is available in the kitchen if you plan on cooking. They are really good if you call and ask ahead of time. I was able to bring a crock pot and a few other items to ensure lazy cooking for mom while we were playing on the beach. Washer/dryer worked great, loved the outdoor shower down below for sand removal. Our only "critical" review, the deck. The deck is older and there are screws sticking up everywhere. You can tell they have come in several times to tighten them down, but while we were there we got used to just wearing our sandals. Is this a big deal?, nope! The view is gorgeous, and sitting on the deck was amazing. Would we stay again, absolutely!

We really like the older beach cottages like this one. Heat worked great. So nice to be able to bring our dog. Very few people on the beach. It's a really clean, sandy beach.

The cabin is not new but had everything we needed. The access to the beach and the porch were all we needed for a restful and splendid stay by the ocean.
