Light filled main and top floors were perfect for a 4 woman retreat with yoga, meditation, massage and painting purchased from Holden Beach Massage. We used the 3rd floor daybed sitting room as the 4th bedroom (no bathroom or privacy for the queen bed in the bottom floor game room & the 4 loft beds have no privacy). Loved the furniture, blankets, kitchen, elevator & hot tub. There are plenty of bed pillows. (Bring your own spices, paper towels, oil etc; bring or rent sheets/towels.) Lots of special touches: good kitchen knives with sharpener, card table and folding chairs, puzzles, tasteful decor, folding step for kids sink, surfaces/shelves to put stuff. Deep garage is nice but narrow (door controls on wall look like square flat lights). Winter beach was walked but too cold for screen porch or dock. Saltwater Shanty ice cream and Old Ferry Seafood market were great. We brought our own towels and sheets, toilet paper, and dish detergent. There were laundry and dish washer pods but maybe from prior renters. Food Lion is 1.5 miles. Lovely light on the intracoastal waterway, boats go by so close, beautiful sunsets beyond the bridge, and the ocean is just a few houses away. Everyone was delighted with the home and the setting. As an experienced vacation renter, I was pleased and also found Adam quick to respond to his cell phone or texts. VRBO messaging was not effective but it did send the correct entry information a few days in advance. I would definitely rent here again and we are already talking about making this an annual event.
