Everything was clean and peaceful

Nice folks and place to rent.

It was awesome, very peaceful!

High points to this place is that it fit our family well. We had a member who doesn't handle steps well so ground floor was good. Older generation stayed on bottom floor and younger generation upper floor which gave a good separation. No inside steps, but this wasn't a big problem. Beds were comfortable. All areas were spacious. Bicycles, cornhole, beach wagon and chairs were all pluses. Kitchens were very nicely stocked with utensils though the upper kitchen was better than the lower. Downsides were that the air conditioning was not working very well on the lower floor. My husband found an A/C unit in the storage area and installed in our bedroom which helped a great deal. The upper level stayed very cool. We were curious why we were told to leave the beds made and not strip the linens and some members wondered if the sheets were changed between guests. The trash bins stunk bad and there were a lot of flies in the house, which may have been due to the inlet behind the house. Overall this rental unit fit our particular needs and was mostly a good week.

We had a large group of 18 staying at Eye Sea Blue, and it had everything we needed. The kitchens were so well stocked. We had plenty of ovenware to heat up our Thanksgiving meal and an abundance of silverware and fridge room. The Keurig got lots of use as well as the beach toys that were provided. There was plenty of parking, and we loved having the public beach access across the street. The temps got into the 30s outside at night and the downstairs got chilly, but there were extra blankets stocked in the closets. We took another reviewer's suggestion to grab extra TP, which we ended up needing. Evolve was very easy to work with, and we had a comfortable stay.

The house was filthy. I brought my youth group here for a retreat and for the price this house was not at all worth it. Pictures looked nice but this house is obviously just a rental property that is not cared for. Upstairs is nice, lower level is rough. The showers were fine and the beds had nice mattresses, but the house was very dirty. Blood stains on a pillow, dirty rag under the bed, nasty smelly dishes left in the dishwasher. They need a new cleaning crew and someone to come in and give the lower level a refresh. Sorry to leave a bad review, but it’s an honest one.

This was a great location, slept all 18 people comfortably, and was nice to have the 2 separate living spaces/kitchens. Would recommend bringing extra TP if you have a larger group.

We enjoyed our stay here. We rented both lower and upper units for our family. The upper unit seemed a bit more updated and had 4 bedrooms. Although the unit was clean, we did another thorough cleaning because we had a child with medical needs. Public Access to the beach was close to us. Only issue that I had was poor drainage on the road. It rained and the water was so high that it flooded into my in-laws car, but that’s a locality problem.

Everything was great!

Like the title, you can't beat the location, but the house is in need of some TLC. The furnishings are aged and worn, the downstairs washer was unusable due to the previous renters, and the house just wasn't clean. (Towels were dingy, worn, and some smelled of cigarette smoke. Had to wash them in the small washer upstairs before using.) Baths weren't clean (dirty mirrors and faucets). Floors were sandy when we walked in, and there's no working vacuum. Flies are a major problem. (Killed THIRTEEN the first day we were there!) I would have brought my own towels, sheets, and cleaning supplie had I known, but those weren't on my packing list for vacation. We had a great vacation, inspite of the house.

Bring your own towels, sheets, cleaning supplies, and fly swatters. You'll need them. Location is great, however.

The location of this property is incredible! Water views from the back deck and steps to the street from the front! The two separate floor set up was lovely for our big family. Two fully stocked kitchens made cooking easy and this house had comfortable beds that made sleeping away from home a breeze.

This home is steps from the beach access. We were able to easily go back and forth to the home. We had 14 friends at this home for a parents weekend away and we very comfortably all fit. The two kitchens were amazing for cooking larger meals. Would recommend this home to anyone

Lovely home with a nice layout. More like two separate living spaces than a combined home, but we still got together for dinner in one of the kitchens. Rooms are very bright, which was a slight issue for nap times for the kids (and Grandparents), but we covered the windows with blankets (room darkening shades would help). Well-appointed kitchen, lots of clean bathrooms. I would love for a proper outdoor shower. Overall great stay and home.

The property was beautiful inside and out. We are first time renters to any vacation home, so we learned quickly how many items we needed to buy. The house was close to beach, easy enough if you forgot something or needed to go back...to go back and forth. This was extremely helpful for the toddlers and the senior we had with us. The only issue we had was the cleanliness; popcorn and candy under couch cushions, stained comforter, dirty pans, torn shades, but none of these stopped us from having an amazing time. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat!

What a great location for our blended family aid many teenagers. Great way to celebrate phase 2!!!

We had 5 different generations and appreciate the space we had. The walk to the beach was perfect. Although we had the different personalities we had enough space and things to do. Thanks so much for letting us spend time together as a family in your home. We are truly grateful.

We just returned from a week at Eye Sea Blue - what a great week we had! This house was beautiful and very well-stocked with kitchen supplies, bath supplies and even provided linens and towels, which many do not. It was useful having 2 kitchens with a larger group. It basically is 2 houses in one. The other extras were wonderful too - boogie boards, bikes, charcoal for the grill, games, beach umbrella. Even though we didn't use all of those items, it's definitely a nice perk for those who need them. We had one minor issue and the property manager was very responsive and super friendly. He is also the person who was cleaning the house when we arrived the first day. Unfortunately, the family before us left it a total mess for him and it took him a good 5 hours to get it back to its immaculate state. I'll never understand why renters feel that it is ok to trash a house just because they are renting it. It was very rude. Marvin, and his partner, did a great job cleaning it all up, even though it took them 3 hours longer than normal. All-in-all - a great stay and we would love to stay at this property again! Thanks for everything!

Our big family had such a wonderful time at this spacious house. Everyone has their own space. The location could not be better. It is right across the street from the public access. The only issue we had was the downstairs rooms had to have there doors open at night to keep it cool. Overall we had an awesome stay in Eye Sea Blue!

Easy check in and perfect location.

This property was more than advertised.

This place is beautiful and amazing. Had a hiccup in the beginning but the owners and property were so outstanding and fixed it asap. The house was so roomy we had 6 adults and 7 kids and everyone was comfy and had a blast. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks for a wonderful time and house.

We had a blast!

We rented this home over the week of the 4th, and let me say we rented way too much home. This place is very comfortable and it's basically 2 separate living quarters in one building. If you like traveling with another family, yet like to have your own family time at night or in the am, then THIS IS THE PLACE! It has been remodeled with all new appliances and cabinets. It has all the pots and pans one could need and the fridge is super big to stock up on groceries and ice. I Mean real real big! The beds are tempur-pedic and very comfortable. I only two minor complaints. No TV's in any of the bedrooms, so we had to Netflix off the laptops at night, and the back yard has sand spurs that Satan himself made. No kidding, do not walk barefoot in the backyard. If you do, you'll only do it once. They have custom made corn hole boards, 2 beach cruisers and an assortment of board games should you get rained out. The owners care very much about your stay. We had to help trouble shoot the cable/internet for about 2 1/2 hours on one of our days there and to us it was no big deal. We decided that we wanted to stay an extra day and would pay for the day at the going rate. However the owner felt bad that we had to stay at the house so the cable company could fix the internet/cable problem, and decided to comp us the extra day. This was totally unexpected and unsolicited by our family and made me feel appreciative. I would stay here again, but bring more people!

Across from the beach was a really great location. The house was really spacious and well stocked with accommodations. (dishes, washer and dryer, iron, coffee maker, even a corkscrew.) Just to name a few. It was really nice to get away and to not have my family be separated like in a hotel. I first thought that not having televisions in the bedrooms was a problem but it gave us time spent together and for me , the best sleep in a long time. So thumbs up and thanks for having us.

This home is very spacious and equipped with just about everything you need! The furtinure and accessories were very nice, clean, and taken care of. You can tell the owners really care for their place! It could have been a little cleaner when we arrived but that has nothing to do with the owners...just the cleaning services. They also had bikes, wagon for the beach, beach chairs, and an umbrella you could use. The upstairs and downstairs don’t connect through the inside...you have to go outside to go to each floor....wish we would have known that prior. It wasn’t that big of a deal and worked out ok. The beach access is literally right across the road which was very nice! The house is great and worked well for the 5 families that went on our vacation! Thank you!

Our group of 16 comfortably stayed at this house for 3 nights. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in and the rooms were large enough to fit a pack n play in them. The house was very clean and well kept. The beach access was literally 50 steps from the house which was perfect for our group with 5 small children. The bikes, wagon & chairs in the utility closet were great to have available. Eating dinner with 16 people on one floor was a little tight, but very doable. The kitchen has all the basic pots/pans and items needed to make meals. Each floor has its own washer & dryer set which was extremely helpful. Overall we were very pleased with this house for our vacation and would definitely stay here again.

The location is perfect and the home is beautiful. The beach and access walkway is literally across the street. There was barely anyone on the beach and you can bring your own refreshments using the cooler that is supplied by the home, located in the utility closet. There are also beach chairs and bicycles in the closet so you don't have to buy or rent any beach accessories at all. Everything in the house is new and clean. The beds are huge and extremely comfortable. Castaways down the road is a nice bar and grill with live acoustic music on Saturdays. There are numerous other restaurants nearby as well. Check out the pier (with a nice little dive restaurant attached). The house has both a front and back patio. We sat out on the back patio all day and listened to music and relaxed. There is also a grill on the lower level. This is the perfect spot to get away for some nice beach time and not deal with being overcrowded.

The property was everything that we could hope for. It was practically brand new and the owners had everything available that we needed. There was plenty of room for our four families to stay. The beach is literally steps away and wasn’t super crowded like other beaches I’ve been to. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because with so many people to shower, we ran out of hot water quickly. Tankless water heaters may be a good investment for the future. Looking forward to staying again.

It is my first time visiting USA and I wanted to enjoy of the beautiful beaches of NC. I found this lovely house at Holden Beach that made my stay so perfectly enjoyable and memorable, this house has a great location with beautiful views on the front and back, the beach access is just in front of the house. Casa de la playa is so beautiful decorated, everything is brand new, super comfortable, you feel like at home! Absolutely love it and totally recommended !

This beach house is recently renovated so everything in it is new. It's on the 2nd row with a front porch you can sit on and enjoy the sounds of the ocean and actually see the water! The décor is lovely. Kitchen, dining room and living room are all one large room which I love. There is also a deck out back over looking the canal. All 4 bedrooms are large. Location is great, beach access is right across the street and restaurants are just a couple minutes down the road. We'll definitely be returning.
