Lovely Thanksgiving Home

Appreciated the thoughtful, extra details the host provided for our cold weather visit. Each bedroom was comfy, the common area held our group easily and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Can’t wait to come back!

Life at the beach

Fourth time at this rental. The owner does a great job embellishing their home to make each stay a little different from the previous one. We haven’t found any need that hasn’t been addressed.

Treated like kings and queens

This whole experience was wonderful. Inside and outside of the home were fresh and clean when we got there. We absolutely loved the porch and rocking chairs overlooking the ocean. My family couldn't believe how the hosts thought of our needs. From spices for cooking, to beach chairs and toys we were all set. It made for a very relaxing and amazing time for all of us. Our family loved it so much we already booked a week for next year. Practically water pressure was great. Fridge had an icemaker in the freezer. The dishwasher is better than mine. So thankful for the washer and dryer. Good sized TV with settings that worked with your stay. You sign into your streaming accounts and after checkout everything resets on their own. Beds were comfortable and clean. It was great!

Great beach home

The home and location was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have linens provided. The back porch was a great place to sit and relax. We would stay again.

Summer fun

The house was great. It was clean and had all the supplies we needed, the location right on the water was great. We spent the days on the beach and evening on the porch listening to the waves. There are lots of restaurants nearby and if you want a day away from the beach Wilmington is close enough for an afternoon trip. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect

The house was very nice and clean. Had a lot of little things that makes cleaning sand off very easy. The porch chairs were nice, the beds were comfortable. Accommodated my family in every single way. The bar area was a huge help too. The entire house was equipped with everything you can think of. I would definitely book and stay here again.

BareFeet Retreat Hit The Mark.

Bare Feet Retreat is a wonderful rental house. Plenty of room, well laid out and was nice and clean when we arrived. This is the 3rd time we have stayed there, and we find the care of the house very consistent, which is important for a rental. We booked again for the same week next year.

Fantastic 4th

Awesome place for family of four. Holden is a gem and the east end is quiet yet a bike ride to a couple restaurants and ice cream. House was super clean and perfect layout. All the tools required for cooking and grilling we supplied. Beds were comfy. Loved this place definitely will stay again if we can book it!

Great Family Home on the Beach

This home was perfect for our family vacation! We loved the convenience of being right on the beach, the little details in the house like games, movies, kitchen utensils, etc… The beds and couches were comfortable and it was clear that updates were being made to the home. We have older teenage sons and my parents joined us for a few days. The house was perfect for time together, but also gave everyone their space as well. I would absolutely rent this home again upon return to Holden Beach!
