This house is a perfect getaway for a group! Plenty of space, great view. The heated pool was fabulous and being able to walk right out to the beach and back via private walkway was so easy with children. Finding the boardwalk shower was already warmed was super convenient as well.

Loved the house. Plenty of space for everyone! The grand kids loved the heated pool.

Only thing wrong with the property is that I don’t own it

The beach in this area was nice and flat— no huge drop offs. The house accomodated 3 family’s nicely with bathrooms and TVs in each bedroom— the screened in porch was nice since it rained a lot during our stay

Enjoying our stay had nothing to do with this rental. My husband and I have had many good experiences with VRBO. We always stay in top notch places. This wasn’t one of them. I was not overly concerned with the poor review I read before I booked this home. Not enough seats in the living room or a need for a paint job didn’t bother me. Not having adequate room to eat dinner was the problem. While there was a table outdoors, the bench was wobbly and not good for little kids or old women. We ate outside twice, but because of wind we had to eat inside. There was not enough room for twelve. While informed that the kitchen was stocked with standard items, I was told to bring any special Items I might need. I don’t consider a can opener, liquid measuring cups or wooden spoon special items. Pans not big enough to cook for 12. Kitchen utensils are so cheap you couldn’t stir anything or flip a pancake because then we’re too flexible. There are ants in the kitchen cabinets. They brought us ant traps, but needs sprayed. Perhaps this house should be meant for 8. The upstairs bedroom was too noisy. This was stated in previous reviews, but was worse than expected. Walls were open at the top. This room would best be served as a second living space. Dishwasher was not installed properly. Fell forward every time you opened it. Needs to be anchored. Management intended to fix it, but not during our week. The pool was nice and the leather couch was comfortable, not worth the other problems. Last and probably most important problem is the condition of the walkway to the beach. It’s deplorable . Thank goodness the management company came and nailed some planks. The walkway needs to be replaced before someone trips and falls. Beware of this problem.

Had to call housekeeping when we got there house was not clean. Several chairs were broken, tv upstairs never worked, attic door would not stay closed, cabinet doors were lose, almost falling off in areas, not enough hot water for our group. Needed a vacuum in the house, we found three fishing hooks on the deck below we had three children with us so I had to sweep the entire deck for safety.

House is old and in need of interior paint . house sleeps 12 but commons area will only seat 6 In serious need of at least 2 more comfortable chairs Dining chairs were rickety and one broken Blinds in one of bedrooms on the street side were broken and very old It seems like for what they charge some updates could be made It was not newly renovated. The side porch had trash in it and cigarette butts left. The pool area also had trash left and someone elses pool toys

All of our needs were met. Got lucky with weather, waves and nice neighbors. (They were respectful and quiet)

This was the 1st for our family vacation, & we loved this house! There was plenty of room for all 12 to sleep & the pool was great for the times we weren’t at the beach. Communication with Proactive was amazing especially with the pandemic happening now. We would definitely book this property again!

Everything wonderful except the loft bedroom was not sound-proof at all - a bit challenging with kids.

The house was perfect for our needs. The pool is small, but works for small children. It was great to walk straight out to the beach with NO stairs to navigate. We liked having 4 bedrooms on the same floor. The upstairs bathroom floor was a little "iffy." We had an electrical issue ... "single phasing"... We called Proactive and they were at the house within 20 minutes. Some kind of generator was brought in to keep full electric to the house for a day or so. The lights were beginning to flicker the night before the electric company came to fix the problem. It took the electric company a few hours to fix it and only had the electric off for about 45 minutes total. We would definitely stay at Holden You again.

Beautiful view. Wonderful location on beach with added benefit of lighted and heated pool. Lovely, clean house with comfortable furniture. Rental agents are quick to fix any problems that may arise. A “Must Visit Again Rental”.

Beautiful home

Very nice floor-plan. Kitchen upgraded. Plenty of eating areas. Nice linens. Pool was added plus. Loft bedroom was little noisy because of openness. Overall great property!

My friends and I really enjoyed our time in this house! The house was just steps away from the beach and when we got tired of the beach the pool was very nice and refreshing! The pool was also very clean. The only thing we would suggest is a new grill but overall our experience exceeded our expectations. Can’t wait to come back!

The kitchen had everything you need. The porch was very nice too. Short walk to the beach! The colorful lights in the pool were a big hit when swimming at night. We had a very relaxing vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

This is a lovely home. It is as advertised and I would not hesitate to rent it again for my family. The owners did a wonderful job with the renovations leaving the house updated and very comfortable. It made our vacation a wonderful event for our family.
