Wonderful

Loved this house. Very clean. Beautiful decor. Plenty of room for our family. Many extra touches (hand soap, tp, bath mats, tissues, dish soap, etc) were much appreciated. Having beach chairs and sand toys was great! We spent a lot of time on the roof watching sunsets. Can’t say enough good things! Hope to return.

Great stay at Up On The Roof

We had our family of our three children and a boyfriend and girlfriend for week stay. The location and home were superb. Not a single amenity we would add. The owners were very gracious in every detail. The views of the ocean and all of the indoor and outside seating wonderful. Great spacious kitchen. Everything was like it is brand new. Can’t say enough good things about our stay.

Great Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Up On The Roof. It was a beautiful home in a great location. We loved the spacious living areas, especially the dining area which allowed our family to sit down and eat together. Easy access to the pool and beach areas were also a plus. And of course the views from the roof were amazing!

None Better in Holden Beach !

This property is perfectly located in Holden Beach - great view of the ocean from the 2nd row, beach access is directly across from the property, the beach clubhouse and pool are directly across the street. The home itself is pristine with an open floor plan and the owners are great to work with.

“Up on the Roof” Is a beautiful home. It is exactly as described and even better than our expectations. It is across the street from the ocean but it feels and sounds like you’re right on the water.
