Recent Holden Beach guest reviews

We really liked this house. It has a nice layout that easily accomodated our party of 5. It is an easy walk to the beach and a great view from the poarch. I would recommend taking a mattress topper for the bed and do not rely on the fenced area for your dog.

This is our 2nd year coming to Holden Beach. The Windalear was very nice. We love being oceanfront and having our own private access. The front porch overlooking the dunes/ocean was great! We stayed early June of this year and the weather was perfect. Even enjoyed a couple of Beach storms from the enclosed front porch. We did find one rather large palmetto bugs in a kitchen cabinet. Vacasa sent someone to put out traps and spray the outside. Wasn't too much of a bother and only saw the one. The master bed could have been a little comfier but overall our trip was great! Kitchen was more than fully stocked with nice pots and pans. Everything you needed and some. It was also very convenient to have the washer and dryer right in the kitchen vs downstairs.

The house was so comfortable and beautifully designed. Perfect for our family. Loved the pool and view of the marsh and waterway!
