Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cape Fear River

We couldn’t be happier and more pleased with our stay at “Gone Coastal”! This week was exactly what our family needed. Holden Beach was quiet at the beginning of April and the house was such a comfortable and welcoming environment. We all loved having the pool to ourselves too. We hope to come back again and again in years to come.

The location is excellent! You are two blocks from the public beach access and you can actually see the ocean from the driveway. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. There are a lot of great restaurants close by. The house was perfect for our family and dogs. It was nice and roomy, and we loved the big backyard for the dogs. I appreciated how clean the house was, and the beds were made with nice linens and down covers. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a little more peace and quiet than you'd expect from Myrtle Beach but with easy access to all of the amenities.

This place is a real diamond! The home itself is beautiful. Plenty of natural light, updated everything, and the interior design choices were made to perfection. The location is close necessities like groceries, drug stores, and restaurants. Kaylaa was fantastic. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. She was very responsive when my siblings and I had questions or concerns. All of this made for a truly spectacular sibling getaway! We’ll definitely be staying again.

Our stay was far too short! The house was beautiful! Had a great backyard for my kids to play, and a perfect bunk bed for them! My two oldest girls did not want to leave! Everything was so clean and comfortable. Highly recommend staying! We had one question and Sofia responded right away! Couldn’t have asked for a better house to stay in while we were in NC. We will deff stay again when we come back to visit!!

The house was very clean and nice! Clean towels and beds were comfortable. Lots of blanks and pillows as well! The host was great accommodating my group and they allowed us to have a later checkout time which we really appreciated. Checkout and checking in was super easy and convenient. Highly recommend this Airbnb!!

Clare was a great host! She was very friendly and communicative and left perfect instructions, plus recommended local spots to check out! Her house was very clean, and it worked out very well for myself & my friends! I’d definitely recommend her place and would be happy to stay here again in the future!

This place is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Nice atmosphere, very private, very CLEAN, and an AMAZING hostess. I would most definitely recommend this place! ❤️

Clean place, with easy check in. Well loved home!

Johnny was incredibly friendly and the BnB was beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay!

This was our third time staying at Rebecca's place, and we love the updates that have been made over the years. The new in unit A/C with it's own control was especially nice to see. If you are traveling solo or in a couple with a pet and want to be able to walk to Carolina Beach, I highly recommend you check this place out!

This place— I would recommend a thousand times over. Gail and Gerry are some of the sweetest hosts I’ve ever had the honor of meeting and they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, comfortable, and peaceful. The acute attention to detail, such as music playing when we entered for the first time, truly showed just how much these hosts take pride in the place they’ve set up as well as the care and love they show towards their guests. We will be back!

loved the vibe of the place, super cute environment/home decor and exterior space + my dad came to fish so we were looking for a good spot close enough to the pier/clean and quality/affordable and this truly checked off all boxes + all around perfect spot I would say my only thing I wasn't super happy about (but that we did find a solution to) was the bathroom situation: the locks are on the bedroom side and not on the doorknob itself, which is fine if both doors shut completely but the master/larger bedroom bathroom door does not shut completely and my dad was in that room so if I had to use the toilet and avoid being seen it would have been awkward since the door opens towards the larger space of the room/bedroom entrance door -> BUT we did solve this with stuffing a towel in between the door to keep it shut, I didn't have time to read all the other reviews so don't know if others mentioned this, but yeah solution works :) all-in-all, highly recommend

My friends and I had a great time at this place! The condo is very homey and enjoyable to stay in, it wasn’t far from the beach and it was super easy to check in and out of. Would definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Nichole's residence. The place was super clean and the colors remind you of the beach. Loved the decor. Beds were comfy. We had a small issue with the toilet but Nichole had someone out within 30 minutes of me calling. I had my elderly parents with me so I appreciated how they moved expeditiously. I recommend this place and would stay again. Thanks for everything! 10/10

David was great very accommodating to any needs. Location was within walking distance like advertised. Would recommend.

Great location and very clean. Was impressed with the amount of space! One bedroom is accessible through the first bedroom but that wasn’t a problem for us. Overall great stay!

Great location with all the amenities. Especially great location for kids - playground, heated pool, restaurants on property and beach. Couldn’t ask for more!

Wendy was an excellent host and we had a great trip! Well stocked kitchen and had everything we needed!

This is one of the best Airbnbs I ever stayed in. Clean and comfortable with beautiful Ocean views and access to the water.

We had 7 people—parents and 5 kids ages 11-24. The unit was clean and inviting. Tastefully decorated, but kept simple, which we liked for a rental. Even though the kitchen was not as modern as some we have stayed in before, everything worked well, and you could have several people in there at once, which was nice with 5 adult sized people in this unit. We could easily fit all 7 of us at the DR table. The bathrooms and bedrooms were nicely done. The deck was a good size, and the view was great! The closet off the deck had everything you needed for the beach, (chairs, sand toys, umbrella, boogie/skim boards, etc) and beach towels were provided inside the master bedroom closet. So nice to not have to bring all of that along! The access to the beach was wonderful, the kids could run back and forth without an adult along, if they forgot something inside. *The outside shower is by the pool.* The hosts were quick to respond throughout our entire process. The parking was not ideal.

Crystal’s place was super awesome. Ten times previous better than an Airbnb that I rented in 2022. I thought about not ever renting an Airbnb ever again. But this gave me hope. If I decide to visit Myrtle Beach again, I’ll look at this one specifically. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house.💕💕💕

We love staying at Ocean Creek Resort. Great location. We enjoyed the Airbnb!

My family and I had an amazing time at Josh & Jill’s place. Their home is exactly as the pictures show. The decor is super cute and beach themed. The screened in porch is relaxing. Though we didn’t use it, there is a pool right across the street. The shuttle stop is also across the street which shuttles you to the beach and back. Alligator Adventure was a really cool place to go that is nearby, as well.

This was our second time staying at this air bnb and it’s always a great time with the family. Ocean Keyes is a quiet spot with multiple private pools, a quick walk to the beach, and super close to restaurants and night life. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again when traveling to MB!
