Vacation rentals with a kayak in Surf City

This was a fantastic place to stay with our children and an even better location! We have made a tradition of camping at Holden Beach for the past 8 years for my son's birthday but decided we wanted to maximize our beach time w/ less set up and tear down. We were so lucky to find this adorable little cottage! VERY convenient to the beach/pier. The outdoor set up underneath the house was perfect for us to just hang in the evenings. Would definitely recommend this house and stay here, again. Thanks for making our 8th year at Holden Beach one to remember!

We stayed at Ric and Chelsea’s place for a week and everything was great! House was wonderful and exactly what our family needed. Lots of things to do at the house and in a very walkable location. Ric was very communicative. All around great stay.

This was my second stay at Rob’s. The location on the canal and close to the beach was fantastic! The house had everything we needed for a great stay! We enjoyed the kayaks on the canal and the short walk to the beach!

Great location! Walking distance to the beach or a 2 min drive to the Holden Beach peer. Quiet (off season) with great outdoor spaces. Loved the dock and balconies. Per friendly was a big deciding factor. Overall exceeded expectations and we did not want to leave! Thank you for sharing such a peaceful space with us, it felt like home.

Easy to get to activities and dining. House was clean and comfortable.

The house was clean and spacious and the views were calming. The living room was really a place for gathering friends and watching the final four on the lovely sectional couch and giant loveseat chair. We ate our dinner around the dining table with plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room in each bedroom for our belongings. We walked to the beach and took the golf cart to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The only downside was there was not enough seats on the outside decks where we spent most of our time. There were only two chairs and a love seat. We would stay again!

We reserved this spot months ago and showed up just in time for a hurricane. John the host sent regular updates on the storm's status and was responsive to any questions we had along the way. The hurricane passed and we got to get out and experience the beach, restaurants and endless ice cream opportunities - all of which John recommended. Having access to that shed of equipment was also awesome. From the fishing poles to the boogie boards and paddle boards, it was all appreciated. Great house, exceptional host, and nice little beach town to visit.

Thank you for sharing your home! Great location, nice roomy comfortable house with everything you need!

Great location off the beaten path but still close to all the stores, restaurants, and coastal activities. Very quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed to enjoy a stress free and relaxing holiday with our family of 6. Richard reached out ahead of time to allow early check-in and make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent option if you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional "beach rental"

Steve and Hannah’s home was perfect for a family get away. The house was cozy and had beautiful sunrise and sunset views!

This cozy cottage was exactly what my daughter and I needed for a weekend away in a secluded setting on their property. Charlene was a gracious host and the amenities in this cozy cottage were impeccable! It was super inviting, modern, and had all the things that you needed including very appreciated basket of snacks upon arrival. My daughter and I really enjoyed using the gym next-door and then headed out toward Wrightsville Beach the next day. We enjoyed the fire pit at night with provided firewood on the cute patio with the string lights and peaceful sounds of nature. Grocery stores were easily 5 to 10 minutes away and Wilmington was a good 15-20 minute ride. Topsail was 25 minutes in the other direction and we loved visiting there as well. The property is huge and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage! Great stay overall!

What a wonderful home, location and host! Everything was absolutely top quality, and so many extra touches! We used the kayaks, fire pit (firewood provided!), ping pong table… easy walk to the beach too! Hope to stay again.

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

We loved everything about his place. My grandkids loved the dock because they could fish right in the backyard and we could see them from the back decks. We saw dolphins a few morning and even saw a stingray from the dock. Frederick was an awesome host. We would love to come back early spring or fall so they could catch some fish. Thank you we made some great memories! Beautiful and so peaceful!

Such a great place to stay! We enjoyed the kayaks and being close to the beach. It was comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommend. Also Mike was super communicative.

We absolutely had a wonderful time! My children are older and finding a place that suits all their wants is a treasure! My mother was also able to attend with us and she was able to move about the house with ease. The screened in porch was the best!! Beware of Jeffrey (alligator)! We rented the paddle board for my daughter and was afraid she wouldn't be able to even use it bc Jeffrey wouldn't leave! It was much later in the afternoon but she was able to try it out! The location is not ideal for swimming or fishing. Overall we very much enjoyed the location and the house; 4/5 stars!
