Up on the Roof is a wonderful place to stay in Holden Beach. There is plenty of room inside and out. The kitchen is well stocked; the beds are comfortable and the view is amazing. I would definitely rent this home again.

My family and in-laws had a great stay at Up On the Roof. The house was as advertised, clean, with close proximity to to the beach. The 3rd floor entertainment space has great views of the ocean as does the roof top seating area and decks. The property owner was very responsive and kind. A+

We enjoyed our stay at Up On The Roof. It was a beautiful home in a great location. We loved the spacious living areas, especially the dining area which allowed our family to sit down and eat together. Easy access to the pool and beach areas were also a plus. And of course the views from the roof were amazing!

This property is perfectly located in Holden Beach - great view of the ocean from the 2nd row, beach access is directly across from the property, the beach clubhouse and pool are directly across the street. The home itself is pristine with an open floor plan and the owners are great to work with.

“Up on the Roof” Is a beautiful home. It is exactly as described and even better than our expectations. It is across the street from the ocean but it feels and sounds like you’re right on the water. The owners were easy to communicate with and check in and out were seamless. My family would love to stay here again.

Right across the street from the beach and use of the pool! The house is beautifully decorated, has comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. Couldn't have been nicer. The owners were always very helpful with any questions we had. My family all agreed to come back again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better location, house, or view. No other house had the view like this from the roof. We enjoyed many hours just soaking in the views and decks.

We loved our stay at this house! Plenty of living space, tons of seating for meals, high quality porch and deck furniture! Kitchen was well stocked with tons of utensils, eating and serving dishes! And it was so nice to have new quality kitchen appliances to cook with all week! We would love to stay again in the future!

Beautiful house in a fantastic location. The house was incredibly clean and well stocked. The owners are great and very helpful. The layout of the house works well for families with kids. There are multiple decks, an extra living space, and a great yard for the kids to play. The roof deck is amazing, and a great spot to watch the sunset.

We absolutely loved Up on the Roof! The rooftop was our favorite place to watch the sunset over the bridge and see the moon rise over the ocean. Wendy and Marc were super helpful and answered any questions we had before and during our stay. You are truly getting an ocean front home for the price of a second row home.

This house was perfect. Loved the location. View was A+. There was nothing we needed in the kitchen that was not already there. We appreciated all the beach chairs, sand toys and the outdoor shower! We were all so exhausted from the sun that we never used the ping pong table but had it rained, we likely would have used it including all the yard games provided.

Three generations of our family had a wonderful week at Up On The Roof! The house was super clean and fully outfitted in every way. The views from the main living floor of the ocean and shore were ideal. Then there was the rooftop deck which gave 360 degrees view of the whole area plus the night sky which we enjoyed numerous times. Our grandsons are 2 and 5 so the lush grassy backyard was a great place for them to run around and play when we weren't at the beach. Also provided is a full selection of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and games that we used daily. Wendy and Marc were excellent communicators and helpful in everyway possible which made the stay all the more enjoyable. The property exceeded our expectations which were pretty high going in. We can recommend Up On The Roof without reservation!

This property is the best rental I have had for our annual family vacation. The house is absolutely beautiful, and very well maintained, modern and extremely clean. A walk to the pool is only a couple of hundred feet and the ocean is right behind it. We really loved the many outdoor decks this house featured, particularly the one on the roof. Another point about this house which we really liked was the grass backyard which provided a great play area for the kids. Great views of the ocean from anywhere in the front of the house. Kitchen is huge with a nice big table with additional seating at the counter This was our first time to Holden Beach and I hope to be able to return at some point in the future. Golfed at Carolina National....super course. I would highly recommend this rental to one and all, you won't be disappointed. Hope to be back soon.... Tim
