Cottage holiday rentals in Holden Beach

Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

Great location, super close to everything in Wilmington! Diane is great, super responsive!

I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

Very responsive and helpful host- the property is small, but worked for our family of 4 with two small children. The location of this property was AMAZING, very private and quiet lane and a very short walk to the beach.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. Jim was a great host. Tons of room and a good location. The pond next door was cool.

Absolutely loved the area and the space! Everything was clean, quiet neighborhood, and close to all of our destinations/attractions! Jeff was very responsive and proactive, answering all of my questions before I even had to ask them! Will definitely be staying again when I’m in the area!

Great spot and great location relative to restaurants, shops and the beach. It’s a low key place without many frills but does the trick. Also somewhat setback from the road which makes it feel secluded and quiet. Only downside is only 1 mirror to help get ready for events like a wedding.

We enjoyed cotton patch cottage very much. At the end of the day, our favorite thing to do was sitting on the screened in porch looking at the garden. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard. Our favorite beach was Sunset Beach which was very close to the cottage. We would recommend Sharkys restaurant on the marsh.

Great experience in this older cottage which has been restored enough to be modern without losing the historic charm. We loved having a fenced yard for the dogs and a private driveway. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you might need. The house was in a great location to make anything drivable within 10-15 minutes. The hosts were kind, proactive, and very responsive. I would absolutely come back here again!

Beautiful home in a great location. Plenty of room for all of us to sleep and bathrooms for us all. I loved the decor and we had a wonderful stay. The house was also walkable to everything I wanted to see. We definitely plan on staying again sometime!

Mickell was a wonderful host! I booked super last minute with kiddo and service dog in tow. She accommodated us with no trouble! Place was wonderful, beautiful and quiet area, easy access for myself and kiddo, fenced yard, and lots of towels and such ready for us! Absolutely recommend for a great beach stay!!

The house was clean and inviting. Enough room for my whole family and dog. Alot of extra things that was there that I did not have to worry about buying, like beach towels, other beach stuff, cleaning products, dog bowls etc. Backyard was perfect for my dog, I did not have to worry about letting her out and getting out. I would definitely stay again if back in Wilmington.

Bruce was a great host. His place was directly across the street from the beach which made it great & easy for us because we had small children. Bruce was very responsive.

Loved this little getaway. Off the main beach and very little traffic. The place screams “relax”. Loved the outside shower for getting rid of the sand. Most beautiful wind chimes. Short trip to beach and to some excellent restaurants.

We love charlottes place! This was our fourth summer at hooked on holden. Always clean and cozy. And you can’t beat the location to the beach! Thanks for a great stay!!

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had so much charm. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the front porch. It was the perfect spot to unwind. A great bonus was having a restaurant with live music just a short walk away. Most of all, our host was truly exceptional, friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at Janet’s Retreat. We’ve been coming to Holden for years and think this is one of the best parts of the island—the beach access was fantastic and the beach wasn’t crowded, even on a popular week. Easy bike access to Bridgeview Park and other destinations. The house truly felt like home, and the owners were easy to work with and responsive to messages. Washer and dryer were convenient, the outdoor shower was perfect (one of my favorite things about the beach), there were bikes, boogie boards, chairs, a beach shade: everything we needed. A truly great week.

If you are looking for a special place to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful setting look no further than What “A” View. It was in a private and quiet area. Plenty of great restaurants with a quick car ride. The house itself was perfect for a few nights away. Cozy, warm and inviting.

Wonderful experience! Super cute little beach cottage, very close to beach and shops. Loved that it was dog friendly and fenced yard. Great communication from host as well!

Joe's place was everything we needed. Being so close to the beach made it easy to walk there multiple times a day. His house was clean and had everything we needed. We brought our two dogs and the fenced in back yard made it easy to let them out and have a place to go. I really appreciated the water hose, which we used everyday to wash off our dogs after the beach, as well as the outdoor shower for us. I would definitely recommend Joes place for anyone looking for a cute place to stay within walking distance to the beach.

We had such a wonderful weekend in Southport! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect with just a short walk to the waterfront, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. Southport is such a charming town, and this Airbnb was the perfect place to enjoy it. The park across the street even had live music on Thursday night that we could enjoy from the porch! Would absolutely stay again! Cannot recommend this place enough!
