We managed to book our stay during hurricane Debby. Aside from the timing, we all enjoyed our stay and still managed to spend some time on the beach. The house is a bit older but has that cool beach vibe going on. We all agreed that we would stay there again.
Talked with the host s a couple times and they are both good folks and friendly.

We had a great time! There were pros and cons to this property. The host/owners were very nice & easy to work with. The pool is great & a huge plus for this property. Plenty of seating outside. The house is set back from the other houses & gives more privacy.The listing is not accurate as there is a king and a queen bed upstairs & a king and a queen bed downstairs. 2 bathrooms upstairs & 1 bathroom downstairs. The downstairs used to be outside parking. There is only one bathroom downstairs & the ceilings are low. If you are tall, you will not fit in the shower. Since this is under the house there are no views (the pool heater & the side of the neighbors house). The king room downstairs has 1 of the 2 doors to the outside, which ends up making the bedroom a walk thru for other guests to get outside. It’s not clear in the listing, but you have to go outside from these two rooms to get to the rest of the house. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. The house does have ramps to get from the ground to the pool and the rest of the house, but there are fairly steep. In dry, bare feet, one of us fell on the dry wood ramp. They are working to get the plastic decking to replace the old wood. The whole pool area is updated with it. The plastic decking does get VERY hot during the day. There are some nails sticking up in the area where the wood is on the ramp. The kitchen is well stocked.The queen bedroom is outside the kitchen, which can get noisy. Overall a great house for a smaller group

The property was a bit cramped for 5 adults and 2 young children. It would be far better to have had a direct connection between the downstairs and the upstairs. We had great weather which put us outside most of the time, which helped to alleviate the overcrowding of the space.

The house fit our needs. The pool was great when the ocean was too rough to get in. We will be back.

We had a great time at this quaint beach house. No frills, no hassle. The kitchen is well stocked with gadgets for cooking. The beds are comfortable. We used Febreeze for the musty smell in the downstairs bedrooms & it fixed it. The owner was very prompt & kind. Will be back!
10.0 / 10.0
This property is exactly what you would wish for. The upstairs is easily accessed by a small flight of steps. The interior is nice and cozy with plenty of room. Beautiful ocean front view from the living room area and master bedroom. The sliding glass back door opens to a shaded porch area that opens up to a sun deck with full ocean view. Then a ramp leads to your pool area with a passage to the bottom floor. The bottom floor is perfect for elderly folks or teens at the age for privacy. Two bedrooms down stairs asking with 1 and a half bath. I give this property 6 Stars if I could. Will definatly request to stay again.

Great beach house
Hidden Treasure lived up to it's name for our family. Size, property owner, condition of the house, pool, and location were perfect for us. The house is older, but in really good condition. We had no problems at all. We hope to stay there again next year.

Great location, excellent communication, needs work
First of all the property owner/manager was great, fast to respond and helpful. This property was beachfront, and in a nice uncrowded area. 5 stars for management & location. BUT, this property was overall in pretty bad shape and in need of alot of minor repairs. My wife almost got locked in the bathroom because the doorknob was practically falling off. We did not shut the door the rest of the stay. The patio door did not lock, only with a 2x4, and the door was extremely heavy. Everything inside was very outdated and just seemed to be neglected. We own a couple rentals also, and I would personally be embarrassed to rent out a property in this condition. It was not terribly dirty or unsafe feeling, just not what we expected the condition to be. Also, another big issue for us was the other 2 bedrooms downstairs could only be accessed by walking outside down stairs to a separate entrance door. Very musty smelling as well. We decided not to use those rooms because of these things, so I had my daughter sleep on the master bedroom floor so we could have my mother sleep on the main floor with us in the 2nd bedroom, and not downstairs. The pool wasn't big, but worked well and was clean, and we had the heat turned on for an additional cost. Was great to jump in the pool after a long day on the beach. The outdoor shower knob was broken/rusted so you had to use pliers (my mother and wife could not really work it). The hose on the pool deck was almost as bad, and you would cut yourself on a rusty deteriorated knob if not careful. Just little things like this were a slight let down. I don't want to go on and on about these little things, because we all had a great vacation for my birthday weekend, and there were not any major issues. The lower rooms being separate from the rest of the house was inconvenient, but there was a washer and dryer downstairs that came in handy. Regardless, it was a beachfront home, with a pool, in a great location. Classic old school beach house. I would not stay there again unfortunately, unless there was some repairs & upfitting done

Love oceanfront
Our stay was wonderful for the older family members it was hard for them to get in out of the pool it needed a hand rail . One of the tiles fell on the bed it was downstairs there was a water leak from one of the bathrooms upstairs that caused it but it didn't take no time for someone to come out to fix the problem . I'm going to say this it just like your own house things tear up things happen it will not prevent me to not rent this property again it was very convenient to the beach it kept the kids happy with the pool we loved it

Perfect getaway!
This traditional beach cottage was perfect for our small group. It wasn't anything fancy but was clean and had a wonder location! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great
This is a great little beach house. The kitchen is stocked with enough pots and pans (even a slow cooker) so you can easily cook meals instead of going out. The house is in a great location and the pool is always a nice option to have for when the ocean is too rough.

Relaxing Vacation
we really enjoyed our stay at the "Hidden Treasure." Absolutely loved the pool to just float around in and relax after fighting the waves in the ocean 😀 Just a really relaxing week. The owner was very easy to communicate with and got back to me with any questions. Only had a small problem with the back door doorknob not wanting to lock because it was loose. Beth had somebody out right away to fix it. Overall it was a wonderful experience ☺

Bugs, disrepair, and broken pool heater
We were so looking forward to our first vacation in almost 2 years over Mother’s Day week. The house seemed to be falling apart, we saw multiple bugs, the downstairs smelled strongly like pesticides, and there was a mouse trap underneath one of the beds. All of this we would have overlooked. We knew the house was dated and weren’t expecting anything fancy. But the pool was supposed to be heated, and I even asked about it before we left and they said everything would be good. As soon as we got there we noticed the pool was ICE cold and after we sent multiple messages, we did not get a reply until the next day, after we had called the property management company (they tried to charge us a large fee to use the pool, which we had already paid). The homeowner came out to check the pool heater for 5 minutes, said he would call someone to come fix it, and in 7 days no one ever came to fix it. I asked multiple times over the next several days and emphasized that we had two little kids that really wanted to swim, and the ocean is cold in early May and that the only reason we spent so much money to rent the house was because of the heated pool. Although they apologized, there seemed to be little to no concern on their part to fix this important issue. It seemed like they didn’t even care at all. And apparently this wasn’t the first time that happened because they said that this happens sometimes after storms, yet no one made an effort to check it the day of our visit to make sure it was working. It was extremely disappointing and frustrating to say the least to spend a week with a pool that we could barely even use. Every time the kids got in for a minutes, they had blue lips and were shivering. If they would’ve just made a little more of an effort to make it right, it would’ve made such a difference. It really put a damper on our vacation and I would definitely check to make 100% sure the pool heater is working if you go outside of the summer months. :(

Just perfect for April
Absolutely the most perfect little spot for the off season when the ocean is still too cold to enjoy swimming in. The pool was warm, clean, and inviting! The house had beautiful views and everything we needed! So great, wish it was mine :)

Amazing place.
We had a great time here. The only real downfall we had was the washer and dryer being down stairs and we had to go outside to get to it.

Perfect family-friendly vacation: location, location, location!
This was hands-down one of our favorite vacations with friends and kids. The location couldn’t be better—the private pool was amazing (once we figured out the heating temp features) and you are steps away from your own private beach access. We had two families, each with two kids (ages 3-6), and because of the pool and beach access, it made it easy to enjoy the outdoors, kept the kids busy, and allowed grown-ups to relax! The inside space is nothing fancy, but that was perfect for us. We would recommend having a few more hooks or shelves in lower bathroom for towels/kits. The neighbors on both sides were so friendly and gave great fishing tips! The host was so responsive to our questions. I would also recommend they have a guest info book or something to explain WiFi, pool instructions, maybe best restaurants nearby, etc. I felt like I was pestering the host with questions, but like I said, she was always quick to respond! We will definitely be visiting this place again!

Great place to stay!
We really loved this place and look forward to renting again! The only suggestion is that you all update your listing and add more pictures of your property. You really have a perfect place to stay! We hope to book again with you all soon!

Best price for oceanfront
Beth was great at responding to my questions. This property has the ideal location; just a few steps and you're on the beach. It has a pool which was much needed in the summer. The house layout worked for our group but we only had one small child with us. They were quick to fix issues we had with the house. We didn't need a dishwasher but it didn't work. Maybe that could be fixed in the future. A welcome pack with house codes, internet, trash days, etc., would have been a great resource to have before arriving so I didn't feel like I was bothering Beth while she was also vacationing :). The down side was bugs. They did come and spray. I think that happens easier to houses that are not off the ground. We would stay here again. The price for the location and a pool, beats out fancy beach houses every time for me. Thanks Beth!

Awesome little retreat on the water
Great home for a budget and still be on the ocean front. Pool and deck area is very useful for families with small kids and the pool is a good spot when they don't want the beach any longer. Clean, quiet, and plenty of space.

Perfect for our getaway
This was the perfect house and perfect location for our family. Unfortunately, it was rainy, rough weather and jellyfish season. So the pool was a blessing and perfect for our family. The house was clean and well taken care of...would definitely visit again!

Wonderful vacation!
We really loved our stay and had a great time. When we arrived Thursday we found the outdoor trash can was full and I wrote in to see what day trash ran but never received a response. Maybe that date should be included in the information on the listing because we would have happily taken the can to the side of the road and realize the owner can't really do it themselves while people are staying. Regardless, we ended up having to just stack our own trash outside and felt awful doing so! The pool was a treat and the view was wonderful. The neighbors are very friendly as well!

Cute little house
My daughter and son and I with my three grandchildren came to stay for five days. The house is small but well-equipped and a perfect location on the beach plus an amazing swimming pool that is heated. We truly enjoyed our stay there and will come back in the future.

Great!
Very pleased with our stay at this awesome little beach house. The pool was great, especially on days that the ocean was too choppy for smaller children. This home is in an excellent location. The beach wasn't crowded at all. The house was immaculately clean upon our arrival and the kitchen was well stocked. The rental price is very affordable compared to other front row houses. The only thing I feel the house needs are exhaust fans in the bathroom. We hope to rent this home again next summer.

The Hidden Treasure is just that! A perfect spot to enjoy some beach living :)
This beach front home is full of character and personality. Everything is centrally located with plenty of indoor/outdoor space to enjoy. Plenty of linens and towels were available for us upon arrival. The owner made sure to step us through the process all the way until she knew we were settled in (to include weather reporting on an upcoming storm). Beth's quality of serving up a cozy home, hospitality & door to door assists make her pretty unique in our book! She truly cared that we had a wonderful stay & went above and beyond. My husband and I plan on making regular returns to this sweet beach front gem. We might even take our boys along - maybe!! I highly recommend this property - it hits the marks on affordability, comfort and good ole beach living. Thanks so much!!!

Beware of this property
Depending on the listing, may be listed as two bedroom/ one bath or four bedroom/ two bath. The top floor has two bedrooms & one bath. The lower level has two bedrooms, one bath, however there is no way to go between levels without going outside, there is no interior stairwell. Listed as handicap accessible, only if you have a strong person to help the handicapped up the steep ramp to the pool level. My handicapped wife would never have made it without my help to get her up the ramp. Note that you can see the pool steps in the photograph, be aware that the steps are 12-inches high and there is no railing to hold on to get out of the pool, NOT handicap accessible. The refrigerator was installed into an unfinished closet that contained the furnace. The refrigerator would not freeze, even after two days allowing for stabilization, the property owner came to the house, adjusted the temperature setting (like we don't how to do that) and said that her husband would deliver a new refrigerator; it never happened. There were bugs in the house. The owner dismissed that as "its just water bugs, they are everywhere on the beach", Seeing a 2-inch palmetto bug scurry across the living room wall is not comforting. The owner did have an exterminator spray the lower level due to our respiratory concerns of spaying the upper level. Roach Motels caught three cockroaches and four palmetto bugs between the kitchen, living room and bedroom. The property appears to have once been a one or two bedroom cottage. This is someone's weekend project done poorly to add bedrooms, there isn't a level floor in the house, the workmanship in construction is deficient and I seriously wonder if Holden Beach has any kind of Occupancy Inspection for properties. Casual observation revealed, the front and back door had air gaps up to 1/2-inch due to poor installation. A downstairs bedroom window had a sagging window pane that had a 1/2-inch gap open to the outside. Two downstairs window frames were severely rotted on the outside. Seven 120 volt wires were wire nutted, taped together or ended without an electrical box. Four electrical boxes and a light switch were missing covers and wires hung loosely, not secured to the structure. The wiring deficiencies make the place a fire trap. I have photographs that document every one of these items. We have stayed at Holden for over 20 years, never had a bad place like this one. Only redeeming part was the weather was beautiful all week

Great pool but...
We just returned from an awesome trip to Holden Beach. This was our first time going to Holden and it definitely won't be our last! We loved the beach, the great restaurants, fun beach stores, and the delicious ice-cream.
As much as we loved the island, we didn't feel like Hidden Treasure was the perfect fit for our family. There were several great things about this house including the awesome pool. We had small children and the gates around the pool were so appreciated as well. We could let the boys hang out on the upper deck and not worry about them wandering close to the pool without an adult to help them open the gate. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a great low country boil and other meals. The sheets were on the beds when we arrived which was such a relief after a full day of driving to not have to make the beds.
On the other hand, we were really excited about this house because it looked so handicapped friendly. We have an aunt who comes with us that uses a walker and she usually has a hard time getting around. We thought this house would be so friendly to her with all the ramps but it was not. The house had ramps but getting to the ramps from the driveway was difficult. There is no paved path from the driveway to the ramps so she had to walk through a path of sand that was not easy to navigate in a walker. I am not sure if she had been in a wheelchair that she would have been able to get through it. Also,we knew that the house was separated into an upstairs and a downstairs but we didn't realize how isolating it was. There was no way to communicate from one floor to the other. This wouldn't have been a problem if we had wi-fi to text each other but there was no internet and my phone didn't have a good signal. Finally, we are by no means beach house snobs but the house (especially downstairs) were lacking simple necessities that you would expect in a house like towel hooks, toilet paper holders, and small trash cans. These few small items would have made a big difference in our comfort level. Overall we loved Holden Beach but Hidden Treasure is not the perfect beach house for us.
