The owners were exceptional in customer service. The property was as described. The views were great. There are a lot of stairs so that was a little problem. The home is older and has some new things but needs more updating and a good cleaning. We love Holden Beach and have gone for the past 15 years and always stay in a different home each time. The price was a little high but they have all gone up alot. We liked not having to have a deposit, taxes, and alot of other fees. Holden is just great any where you stay.
Owner's Response: Our property was built in 1987. It has no more stairs than any average beach house (it's on stilts...it's a beach house...). It has been updated recently throughout including most infrastructure (appliances, toilets, hot water heater, washer/dryer) and furniture/decor. We add improvements each year within our budget and this is ongoing. We'd like to replace vanities next and eventually kitchen countertops. However, in the end it is a cozy beach getaway and we don't want to make it into something is isn't; we like it the way it is and don't want to over improve it. This guest came in the Spring before we had the chance to to our big pre-Summer cleaning, which we've since done over Mem. Day, then had it professionally steam cleaned. We pride ourselves on keeping a clean place for our guests and take it very seriously. We have a cleaning service that comes in before and after each guest (it's built into the price, you aren't charged extra). If it isn't clean please call us and we'll have the maid come back again. The carpet gets steam cleaned on average of 3-4 times per year. It is our second home, not strictly a rental property. We do not market it as new but we are confident you'll find it exceeds your expectations, especially compared with other available rentals of comparable size and age at Holden Beach.
