REVIEWS
We had never been to Holden beach prior to this trip and we loved it so much we are already planning our return. This house was gorgeous and had everything we needed for an amazing week at the beach. The pool area was amazing and we spent a lot of time there. We absolutely LOVED being able to have our boat right there docked at the house. Taking the boat to dinner with the family at Provision Company was so much fun! The owners were fantastic, responding to everything we needed immediately. We had a problem with the grill and they were out to take care of it within 2 hours. We loved staying at this gorgeous house and will definitely be back! – Erin from VRBO

If you're looking for a high-end vacation rental, you're in luck! Stellar Beach properties are spacious, comfortable, fully equipped and have tons of extra amenities. The staff is helpful and always available to answer questions or concerns. I highly recommend Stellar Beach Realty & Rentals. You won't be disappointed! – Taylor H. from

Decompression from reality
Loved the pool having shade, the dock close to the icw, and within walking distance of beach. Just a couple of negatives: the kitchen floor was sticky, the refrigerator didn't have enough door shelves, but having the mini fridge on same level helped move items there to make room for all the groceries. The grill didn't work but could have just been out of propane... The water got shut off one morning as I was brushing my teeth. Called the number provided and was back on with in half of an hour... Don't know why that would have happened. A valve at the meter was shut off???

Beautiful home and location
We were there Thursday thru Sunday. Short trip but had so much fun, weather was wonderful even though we were there at back end of a hurricane out in the ocean. House and location are both wonderful. My only frivolous complaint is the THREE remotes to work TV. Without reading glasses I’m useless. That being said We would certainly return

Disappointing
The experience was extremely stressful. The day we were supposed to leave we could received an email the property had been double booked and our reservation had been canceled. They found us another house which was one not nearly as nice and was not on the beach. The original house had a pool and it was directly on the ocean. This was very disappointing as we were in the car driving. We were given an option for a new home. Which of course we had no choice but to take the house was just OK a little dirty upon entry and smelled a lot like smoke Holden Beach is a quiet beach

Perfect home for a family vacation!
This is a beautiful home! Hailey was great to work with. We love staying on the canal because you get the best of both worlds! The beach is a short walk away and with the dock as our back yard we enjoyed kayaking in the intracoastal waterway and fishing off the dock. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. We did eat at the Mermaid Grill one night and it was delicious! We love the slow pace and family friendly atmosphere of Holden! We would stay at Dock Holiday again!

Spring Break 2021
Planning for this trip for my family of four and two other families was easy. The property manager responded timely to all of my questions, and the house was perfect for our four-night stay. We paid to have the pool heated, and it was worth every penny in early April. Adults and kids spent a lot of time swimming and lounging around the pool. The walk to the beach was short, and having canal access was awesome for kayaking and paddle boarding. The house was clean and as advertised. Thanks for a fun trip!

Enjoyable get away
House was clean. Heating the pool was a great asset. Elevator is a must with kitchen on top floor. Minor issues was the condition of outdoor furniture. After months of being shut in because of COVID pandemic it was great to get away with or pod group. We would use the Dock Holiday at Holden Beach ,NC again.

We really enjoyed our stay and would have given it 5 stars if there had been some type of window coverings on the main level. At breakfast the sun was shining brightly in everyones eyes. As the day went on that level really got warm. Just a real inconvienance!!

We loved our stay at Holden! This is a great house and a beautiful beach. Our only complaint is we paid to heat the pool for our entire stay. The pool was not heated when we arrived. We had to call for someone to come and it wasn’t warm until the next day but we were still charged for the day it wasn’t warm. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

Need new pots and pans, clean the kitchen drawers
This house has unfortunately seen the terrors of renting in its short time and unfortunately some cleaning has been neglected. The cleaning fee that is charged apparently doesn't get applied to cleaning the kitchen. Upon arrival we had to empty the silverware drawer and run everything through the dishwasher because the amount of grim and hair in that drawer was disgusting. The whole week we kept the clean silverware in a cool whip container just so we didn't have to open that drawer again. The pots and pans are are so beat up that they are probably dangerous to eat out of. All of the tephlon coating is chipped and that's just not safe. The rest of the house was very clean compared to the kitchen and it is a great layout. The pool was very nice though the pool deck wasn't picked up prior to our arrival. I know we rented towards the end of the season and I hope a deep clean is completed a couple of times a year. This house could be a great get away with just some attention to detail cleaning and new pots and pans.
