Comfortable and clean

The house was comfortable, clean and we had a fun time. The kitchen is well appointed with a good sized eat in kitchen and family room. The location is great so no long drives to popular restaurants, entertainment, Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. We would stay there again.

Family Fun in Sun and games

The house worked out perfect. My kids and grands were so fascinated with the outdoor shower they barely used the indoor. Loved the games that were in the house. Plenty of kitchen storage if you cook in. We all would definitely recommend. The host was always available to communicate. Thank you for a great week

Perfect for a family

Great place but stove eyes need a little work if one enjoys cooking. Loved the outdoor enclosed shower, esp. for the kids. The only true negative is that outside golf carts are not allowed in this gated community. You must rent them onsite and may not drive them anywhere but on the property and to parking lot across street to access beach.

Lovely place

The process of checking in was so simple and easy. The home was just as described and comfortable. We rented golf carts from the Village and the price was reasonable. I would suggest to bring all of your own seasonings, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, tin foil, etc. because none of that is there or not enough for a week’s stay. Easy fix because the home is across the street from a Food Lion grocery. They did have beach chairs and kids sand toys that we greatly appreciated. We had such a lovely time.

Perfect vacation home for large groups

This home was perfect for our large family vacationing together. The location was good and we enjoyed being on the waterway. It is a beautiful house and the owner was very nice and immediately responsive to any needs we had during our stay. The dock area was great for fishing and boating. We all enjoyed it.

Perfect family wedding locale!

Our family stayed at the home from Oct 2- 7, 2012. It was the perfect venue for an intimate wedding ceremony for my daughter. The home was clean and tastefully decorated (exactly like the pictures). The owner was very accomodating with special requests. The space was also kid friendly and centerally located on the island. We had perfect weather during our stay and the grounds were beautiful! Would definitley recommend this vacation home!

A Little Taste of Paradise

Our family of eight recently vacationed in this beautiful home. The views of the waterway are spectacular and only a short walk or bike ride to the beach. Everyone was comfortable in there own bedrooms, each nicely decorated with plenty of room. We all enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the yachts go by and the sunsets were fantastic. The kids found the backyard perfect for frisbee and we all enjoyed sitting around the table playing board and card games in the evening. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for a large family and was stocked with all the essential cookware. The house was wonderful and was perfect for our big family, but the hosts were what made our stay so special. We really appreciated the book of places to see and suggestion of restaurants and local activities, you were both so helpful! We hope to come back soon!

Resort Like Atmosphere

I have had the pleasure of staying in this home MANY times over the past 5 years! All bedroom except 1 have breathtaking water views that you can wake up from your bed each AM & see the beautiful waterway. The porches are excellent for enjoying ur AM coffee or your PM cocktail and watch the waterway activity (i.e. dolphins playing, yachts cruising, barges, jetskis and tubers!!! The amenities are none short of a resort and the space is excellent for a big family reunion...enough nooks and crannies to escape and have your quiet time when necessary! ;-) The beach is within walking distance and the whole island is great for that invigorating bike ride or jog! Trust me, you and your family will not be disappointed with a week stay, or longer in this rental! Enjoy your stay at Holden Beach...I know I do every time!

Awesome House for Family Reunion!

Just came home from an awesome week at Holden Beach! We shared the house with 25 people ranging in age from 8 to 83! The house was perfect. Great kitchen for cooking meals and enough space for eating! The views from the deck were amazing. We enjoyed being on the inter coastal watching sunsets, dolphins, tugboats, and more. We were able to walk to the beach in minutes and had a week of unbelievable weather and surf. The house was ample big to accommodate all of us and we never ran out of hot water!!!! The property was clean and well maintained. We had to call for a minor issue and our call was answered and our issue resolved in no time. Family came from 5 states and all LOVED IT!!!!! We would go back!!! Thank you for making our reunion memorable. It was a GREAT week at HOLDEN BEACH!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful for family get together with small kids

This house was just as wonderful as advertised. Our large family of 12 adults and 8 children (ages 7-newborn) fit comfortably into the large rooms and shared meals easily with the spacious kitchen and numerous tables and chairs for eating. The shower in the master suite was very nice and the provided shampoo, conditioner and hand soap was much appreciated. The beach was a short walk away and never crowded. And the outdoor shower was convenient for cleaning up after the daily beach ventures. There was ample parking and the street was quiet enough for riding Razor scooters. In the yard, we enjoyed the frogs, big and small, playing corn hole and grilling out. The deck was very comfortable for watching the traffic on the waterway and beautiful sunsets. Our minor complaint was that the live music from the bar across the waterway was loud one night around 1:30 am. We rented a pontoon boat one morning and it was convenient to load and unload from the dock at the property. All descriptions of the home were accurate and the house was clean. I highly recommend this VRBO property.

Perfect for our large family

Our large family has vacationed in the Myrtle Beach area for over 30 years. This was our first trip to Holden Beach and we definitely would do it again. We had 26 family members ranging from 3 months old to 87 and 82 years old. The large main area was perfect for our parents because they could have their private room and share all of the family time without having to go up and down stairs. The back porch overlooking the ICW is large and a great place for relaxing. The bedrooms we comfortable and spacious. Our family rented a pontoon boat and jet skis. We played golf 4 days on courses within 30-40 minutes. The Food Lion is within 2-3 miles from the home. The beach was about a 5-10 minute walk. There is also a handicap parking area within 5 minutes which allowed us to take our parents to the beach as well. The home is everything the listing says it is - no surprises. The owners were very helpful before the trip as well as during our stay. We would definitely recommend this home for larger families. Thank you for a great week.

More than advertised!

"Seven in Heaven" is all you need for a perfect family vacation...peaceful view of the ICW from the spacious main-level porch, complete with rocking chairs! It was a daily gathering place for our large family. Cooking is a pleasure in this well-equipped kitchen, with room for everyone to eat together. Lots of places to "perch" and chat with the cooks while they are doing their thing! More-than-ample storage for your groceries and supplies during your stay. Large, round kitchen table is great for afternoon- or after-supper-gaming. Every bedroom is spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Bathrooms are conveniently located on each level...room for everyone! Grocery store is near-by for convenience. Lots of great little boutiques, too! Wilmington to the North or Myrtle Beach to the south -- a short drive to either if you want nightlife or "big" shopping. The beach is a short walk and is perfect for surfing, castle-building or reading your summer book! (We did some of each!) This is THE place for your future family gatherings...it doesn't get any better than this!

Had a Wonderful Time

We just had our biannual family reunion with 24 of us spanning 3 generations stayed in this house for the week and had a blast! The rooms are spacious and very accommodating. Everyone had a comfy bed and place to call their own. I couldn't believe that 24 of us could stay in one place so comfortably. I absolutely loved the bath towels that were provided - plenty of them and they were really good quality - better than many hotels. The main floor provided the perfect central hub for all to eat, watch TV, hang out on the beautiful deck and play all kinds of games. The back patio allowed for chats while we took turns grilling (two charcoal grills worked out great - our night to make dinner the Weber grill cooked the Paella perfect! The kitchen had all the amenities you could need and the extra fridge in the garage was a life saver. The dock proved to be the perfect fishing/crabbing spot for the kids - they looked forward to checking the traps and dropping a line every morning and evening. And of course most of all - the location was so convenient. Just over the bridge, a quick trip to the Food Lion was super easy. We were just next door to an outdoor free public concert. The public access to drop our boat was like 100 ft away and MOST IMPORTANT - the public access to the beach was just 2 very short blocks away! This allowed us to set up our tent early in the morning, spend the day on the beach with no worries about strolling home for lunch or a nap and then strolling on back. Super easy! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to go away to Holden Beach with 23 of their loved ones. We had a fantastic time and while the fun was a result of the wonderful group of people, the house sure did make the fun worry free.

Heaven at Holden Beach

IMy family stayed in this beautiful home for a week while I helped my sister (who lives in the HB area) get everything finalized for her upcoming wedding. The 2nd floor master bedroom offered a wonderful waterway view (even from the bed) and it was wonderful to slip out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and sit in the rockers on the deck and watch the waterway traffic. Every floor has great traffic flow and plenty of bathrooms for a large crowd! Having bedrooms on all three floors allowed everyone to have their "space" and privacy. There were plenty of TVs and entertainment options for the kids (and adults). The kitchen was just great for cooking for our large group and there were plenty of seating options for eating. We loved being able to enjoy the waterway from the backside of the house AND being able to take a short walk over to Rogers Street to get to the ocean via the private beach access for the neighborhood! (Open the windows at night and we could hear the surf!) The dock was great at high tide for the kids to jump in and out of the water; and, at low tide there's a "mini beach" that can be explored with plenty of crabs darting about. When we didn't want to cook we were able to walk to Paradise Cafe or Capt. Pete's restaurant for wonderful food or take the boat right across the waterway to Provisions (Try the fresh grouper salad!!) We had a fabulous week and look forward to our return visit in August 2010. I would highly recommend this property to friends/relatives who are looking for a clean and well-maintained rental home. The owner could not have been more helpful in making suggestions for things to do while we were there. (We would have missed out on the Turtle Watch if not for her....ask about it when you are there and find out if the nests are projected to hatch while you're in town. It's an amazing process to observe!) I think this place should be called "Heaven at Holden Beach"!

I reread the previous comments posted. I agree with all the positive comments and I certainly have no negative comments. We were there the first week of Jun 2011, a family vacation. Granpa, Granma, 4 "children", their 4 spouses and 7 grandchildren. This facility is modern and well maintained and the hostess has paid attention to giving all aspects of providing a carefree and worryfree stay. All appliances, electronics, plumbing, air conditioning etc. were in good working order. We never lost a minute because of any problems. It is quite spacious, very nicely furnished, and the photographs are genuine; it is as nice as it looks. Plenty of sleeping facilities in various configurations and no. of bathrooms were quite sufficient for our group. The kitchen is well stocked with all dishes, utencils, etc. that you will need. The only item we added to the rental package was the linen rental and that worked out well. It is on the ICW which provides good boat viewing and the ocean beach is a quick 10 minute walk. Beach was very nice; good for all ages. The week we were there, the weather was very nice. About 90 and sunny every day. Sitting on the beach, under an umbrella, sunny and warm, slight ocean breeze blowing, holding a 7 week old grandson...priceless. There is a lot to do in the area. Be sure to check the notebook with rental info and sightseeing info in it, provided by the hostess - she thinks of everything. I think the grandkids would rate renting jet-skis and riding them in the ICW as their favorite activity. The rental is very close to the bridge to the mainland and a 5-15 minute drive will get you to the many shops and services you may want - souvenoirs, bait, grocery store, more restaurants - there are two within walking distance of the rental. Captain Pete's is one and we had our last evening group meal there; it was very good! If there are any railfans in your group, be sure to visit the railroad museum in Wilmington - it is very nice! It is located in an old Atlantic Coast Line building. There is a rental shop a block from this house and they rent bikes, kayaks, other beach gear and were really nice people as was everyone I met in Holden Beach. I hope this has been helpful in your decision making process. I recommend it highly. We all had a very nice time and this facility contributed greatly to it. :0)

Perfect Family Getaway!

This was our first large family vacation and this house was absolutely perfect! We had a total of 11 adults and 9 kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. We had lots of space and extra room. It was a fabulous location - the pier made it so much fun for everyone wanting to kayak, fish, crab and to just sit and watch the sunset. The walk to the beach was a quick 5-10 minutes which made it easy bringing all the beach equipment and quick enough for a nice evening walk on the beach. The pier made it so much fun and we even saw dolphins when sitting on the porch enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning! The owners were so nice, responding so quickly to questions, emails and texts prior to our arrival and throughout the stay. Rhonda provided us all the information we needed before we even booked her property. She helped our decision making being completely unbiased and with all honestly. She really is a pleasant person and I am so glad I listened to her advice. She told us all about the property, surrounding area and how it is a perfect getaway for a large family (esp. with the space, we all could have our own 'space' if needed :)) I highly recommend this property. The house was fully equipted with all the kitchen utensils from baking to grilling. It was so clean and the linens provided and the washer and dryer in-unit made it so comfortable and convenient. I highly recommend her property. You would not be disappointed! It will only create long lasting memories and hopes of finding the same type of experience for following vacations! Thanks Rhonda for sharing our house with my family!

First Vacation in Holden - excellent!

Being on the intracoastal waterway is a plus for so many reasons - the location of this house is so convenient as it is located close to the bridge into Holden which makes it easy to get off the island to golf and to take a quick trip to the food store. The breeze from the ICW, the ability to sink crab traps from the dock, clamming in front of the house, the relaxing sounds of the waterway, the wide covered porches with rocking chairs and new high stools, make it the perfect place for reading a book outside or for viewing the kids playing wiffle ball on the lawn or fishing from the dock. The kitchen is well-stocked with plenty of everything and then some. The owner was gracious. It was a quick walk to the beach and the ocean was warm and wonderful. There is plenty of room! This is a big home, beautifully decorated, with many beds. There is a fireplace in the family room and also a bedroom. The garage is a big open space with a fireplace and a refrigerator and kitchen area. There is a sink and running water on the dock. We could not have asked for more! We just had a memorable week with our family and friends! Thank you Seven in Heaven!

Great Location and excellent for our large family!

We had a fabulous experience at this 7bedroom location. Family members ranged from 8yrs old up to 80 and this house accomodated all of us. We brought a boat and found the floating dock and backyard access to the waterway VERY convenient. Views from the 3 porches were breathtaking! The home is an easy walk to the beach. The kitchen was very accomodating considering our large group; and the two fridges came in handy! Would def recomend this location to all large parties seeking easy beach/ waterway access! Thank you!!!!
