We always rent houses on the beach and were not sure about 2nd row. Everyone, I mean everyone, fell in love with this house! Beach access was steps away. The decorating in this home was simply beautiful. The kitchen was divine and we enjoyed hours around that dining table…. The lighting and fixtures were gorgeous! Much time spent on the decks overlooking the marsh and enjoying the deer and birds. The pool was fantastic! We would head to the beach early, come back for lunch and a swim, head back to the beach and return to that glorious pool!! What a life!! Storage area was full of chairs, beach and pool toys, floats. The owners thought of everything!! Thank you so much…

Family vacation with all the our crew. Could not have picked a better place to stay. The rooms all clean and up to date. Best location to get to the beach. The pool was great for the grandchildren( and grandparents!). We will go back to Holden Beach, and when we do this is where we will book!!!

You literally walk across the street to the beach and there is nothing but marsh behind the house, so there is privacy and beautiful sunsets. My only complaint is 681.00 to heat the pool. The water is still pretty chilly in th pool in May.

The perfect beach vacation rental! We enjoyed our stay at 'Why Knot' to the fullest. The location just steps from the beach, while also enjoying the calm marsh behind the house was wonderful. The well maintained house was clean and modern with a fully stocked kitchen for everything you need to make your meals. The layout worked well for our group, with a separate space for kids to hang out. We enjoyed the beautiful pool setup along with the generous beach/pool toys and supplies for a fun day together. Highly recommend! 

We recently stayed at the beach house "Why Knot" and it was a fantastic experience for our group of 8 adults and 5 young kids (ages 2-4). The property was spacious, impeccably clean, and overall enjoyable for our large group. One of the highlights of the stay was the proximity to the beach, which made it convenient for us to spend quality time by the ocean with the kids. The house itself felt safe and well-maintained, offering ample space both indoors and outdoors for everyone to relax and play. The pool would be a definite plus, providing an alternative to beach activities, especially for the little ones. However, we were disappointed to learn about the fee to heat the pool only two days before our arrival. The cost to heat the pool was unexpectedly high and did not match was was listed, which came as a bit of a surprise. We decided to brave the cold water instead and this was a major downside to an otherwise wonderful stay. Despite the issue with the pool heating fee, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at "Why Knot." The house met our expectations in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and location. The layout was ideal for our group size, allowing us to spend quality time together without feeling cramped. Overall, we would recommend this property for families or groups looking for a spacious and well-equipped beach house. Just be sure to inquire about any additional fees, such as pool heating, well in advance to avoid any unexpected expenses.

Loved having EVERYTHING you would need for the kitchen along with extra ice maker! This home is a gorgeous and host 2 families well with separate living areas if needed

This was our 4th stay here and we have enjoyed each stay.

We stayed at Why Knot for the week of Thanksgiving. We brought Thanksgiving to the beach. Best Thanksgiving vacation ever. Why Knot exceeded our expectations and the management company Vacasa was super responsive. The home was clean and spacious and had everything included that we could’ve ever needed. Even in the middle of November, our family used the heated pool. Definitely would recommend Why Knot for your next family vacation.
