Family beach trip

The house has a great floor plan with a great location and view of the ocean. It was well appointed with plenty of kitchen supplies. The elevator was one of the best we have used and the provided beach chairs were practically brand new. The concierge tent service provided was great. However, we were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the house - carpet stains, trash under beds, dirty couches in the living area. The entire house could benefit from a good cleaning and overall maintenance. Especially the outside furniture - the paint was peeling so badly that it flaked off on our clothes and skin when we sat on it. It was especially upsetting to find flakes of paint on our 10-month old grandson's hands.

Great House, Well Equipped!!

Perfect for our three generation family gathering. The house is beautifully furnished and the kitchen well equipped with everything we needed. The new pool was a great place to hang out when not at the beach. The concierge tent service was a wonderful addition. The only thing wanting is a gas grill rather than the charcoal grill provided.

Tropical storm Debby didn’t defeat us!

Great location and the house was just right for our family. Short walk to the beach and the property provided plenty of beach chairs and sand toys. We all enjoyed the pool too. The third floor deck had wonderful views of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prepare our meals. Unfortunately tropical storm Debby was a challenge for us; but we made the best of it-sometimes dodging rain drops! It was still a great week at “Sunshine in my soul”!

Great House for Families!

Jenny's house was wonderful for our large group. We had 6 adults and 6 kids under 5 and 1 infant. The location is amazing; steps from the beach and the pool was nice and big for our group and a great way to cool off after the beach. It was nice to have the small kids play area on a separate level to give us some space once in a while. We would definitely recommend!

Great Family Vacation!

This was our second year staying here as an extended family of 8 adults and 7 kids, and it was another fantastic year! The house is very clean and well appointed with all the linens, towels, beach equipment, and toys! We enjoyed the pool and quick access to the beach, as well as the tent that was provided on the beach during our stay! You can't beat the views of the ocean and the privacy of the beach. The communication with Jenny was always quick and we had not problems during our stay. Would highly recommend for families traveling to Holden Beach!

Great family trip.. and turtles!

Our experience was great - lots of towels, chairs for the beach, private pool, and having the tent set up every day was fantastic. House was very clean and exactly suited our three families coming together. Loved being right on the beach and watching the sunset and sunrise right from the deck. Early august is turtle hatching time - we saw lots of baby turtles right down the beach. Looking forward to coming back for our annual Holden family trip.

Wonderful ocean vacation

What a wonderful oceanfront house! We have never rented a beach house that came so well-stocked with essentials for the week, such as beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, hand soap, and even ziplock bags. We appreciated how clean the house was on arrival (amazing that one gal can ready such a big house between guests), we loved the daily tent service, the well-appointed kitchen, a real coffee pot (not kuerig fans), the extra downstairs fridge, quality deck and pool furniture, and the deck and pool gates to safeguard the little ones. The kids loved the pool, especially on the days when there was rough ocean surf. Location is wonderful. Great owner communication. We will cherish the family memories from our week at Sunshine in My Soul.

Perfect family vacation!

Our extended family spent a wonderful beach week celebrating Grandma’s 75th birthday at Holden Beach! We had ages 4-75 and the house and location were great. The house is well-equipped with everything you need, and has plenty of room for everyone to spread out- adults spent evenings on the porch and kids used both tv rooms. Beach and pool were fantastic and the daily tent service was much appreciated. We did add another tent given our group size. The owner was super organized in communication and even helped us find a photographer to take pictures right at the house. Definitely recommend TAD Photography! We also took surf lessons from Holden Beach Surf Crew and rented a pontoon one day for intercostal fishing. We loved the house and would definitely recommend it!

Magical!

We held our annual family reunion at Sunshine in My Soul and we all agreed that this was the best house that we have ever rented! The pictures are accurate (it really is that lovely) and the house is laid out extremely well - such an efficient use of the house's footprint. Everyone enjoyed having an ensuite bathroom and not having to share with others. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had everything we needed to cook dinner almost every night. The location of the house is perfect - so easy for the kids to run back and forth between the beach and the pool. Everyone loved sitting on the third floor in the blue & yellow chairs and gazing out into the ocean with a cup of coffee or a drink. The hosts were very accessible, but we really didn't need them during our trip - everything worked perfectly and they had easy to follow instructions. Holden Beach is very residential -it is quiet and uncrowded, which we loved. We had so many magical moments during our stay and highly recommend to anyone contemplating a visit to the area.

Retreat on the Beach with lots of room and a pool.

The property is great with 6 bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. We used to own and rent out a beach house and I am very familiar with "check out and check in day" and that not all renters are good. We treat a property like it is ours and try to leave it better than we found it. There is simply not enough time to make things spotless in a few hours. That said, this house was clean and ready for our stay with fresh sheets on the beds and included a set of towels or two depending on the size of the bed. The folks before us were not the best renters leaving the beach chairs in a pile most in the storage room and some in the outdoor shower neither of which was as requested by the property owners. Our stay which included our four daughters, four sons in law and eight grandchildren from 15 to 21 years who were there mostly in shifts with two days when we had 17 people and it all worked great. It had been 8 years since we visited Holden Beach having sold our property there in 2015. Our grand kids enjoyed the beach from an early age which made coming back even more enjoyable. Holden Beach is a special place and holds many old and now new memories. This house made it possible and we enjoyed it all.

Family Beach Week

The layout of the home and its location, the pool, the decks and the views they afforded were perfect for us. The second refrigerator, the elevator, the Kids Room, an abundance of pool and beach toys and chairs were big winners. Nice appliances and a well stocked kitchen, plenty of Soft Soap and toilet tissue, etc...all greatly appreciated. The daily tent setup was a real bonus. On the down side, we thought the overall condition of the home, (inside and out) was somewhat sub par. Our feeling is that the home could stand a general overhaul, both from a condition and a cleanliness standpoint...something much more than what a cleaning crew could possibly address in a few hours during turnovers. A few things that we shouldn't have encountered, however: Some kitchen trash not removed; sufficient bath and hand towels not initially provided; residue of sand not removed in the area leading up to the second floor living area from the carport; disarray in the carport and the ground floor deck areas (hoses, pool items, beach chairs strewn about); beach chairs and other items haphazardly stored in the outside closet; front door handle and lock set not secured to the door. We will say though that communication with the Stoners on things that did come up during the week was excellent. They were very responsive...an A+ Summing up, we had a very pleasant stay at Sunshine In My Soul. We would recommend it to other vacationers with profiles similar to ours. The place simply needs some attention - some rehabbing that would involve an investment in time and money to make it really "shine." The Salerno Family
