We had an awesome stay at Skippers Watch! The house was perfect, the view was amazing, the pool was perfect! Everything about this place was perfect for our family! We enjoyed it so much! The kitchen was supplied so well with all the utensils, pots and pans, bowls, everything you need if you cooked in, and we did! We loved everything about our stay! Hope to go back there soon!

Wonderful Oceanfront Home!

The photos speak for themselves, but I wanted to share how lovely this home is - the owners have thought of everything! The kitchen is very well stocked with all items you will need (and if you like to cook meals during your stay, all the tools and cookware are there!). There is also a nice gas grill, and sand chairs & floaters for the pool are in the storage room by the car port. The view is amazing! Wildlife spotting for us this trip - red fox, white tailed deer, and love the pelicans.

The owners have created a wonderful oasis in this home. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need (if you wish to cook with an ocean view). There is also a nice gas grill. The pictures show all the amenities, and there was also a nice welcome bag waiting for us when we arrived (dish liquid, disinfectant wipes, koozies, frisbees, dishwasher pods, etc). There are sandchairs & pool floats in the storage room beside the carport. They have thought of everything!

Perfect for Thanksgiving at the beach. Home was comfortable and dog friendly. Lovely upgrades. Nice touches with gift bag and beach items. We enjoyed the ocean side porch. If it was warmer, I'm sure the youngest members would have been in the pool.

The best beach cottage!

We fell in love with this house the moment we walked in! Beautiful, well stocked, clean, comfortable, stunning ocean views, great pool, and loved the trex decking so we didn't have to worry about splinters in feet or paws. So thankful the owners allow dogs, as our beach loving pup always comes with us and this is just the perfect home. It's already booked all of summer 2026 but we plan to rent it every year once 2027 dates open up!

This is a beautiful property!! Love all of the details from the way it was renovated to the welcome bag with goodies. This is our 6th year coming down to Holden for vacation and renting with CVR. We’ve rented all different sized houses. We’ve never received a welcome package like this. It was a very nice touch!! This house was also clean!! Thats been a problem in the past with other homes. Happy to say it wasn’t a problem this year. We will be booking at this place for 2025!!!

This was our first time at Holden beach we usually do Emerald Isle but, wanted to try something different. This was a great property the owner has thought of every detail that would be needed from hangers in every room hooks to hang a jacket, luggage rack. Great beach gear and a clean pool although since we had an older person with us would be helpful to have rail getting into the pool but, aesthetically it looks beautiful without.

The property is beautiful. Close to ocean and conveniently located. The house and especially the kitchen is beautifully outfitted. Loved the pool and gas grill. Full complement of beach chairs with cushions, lots of shade as well as sun. Fabulous storage in both bathrooms as well as bedrooms. Thanks for a wonderful two weeks!

We loved this property! Lovely, upscale decor, well maintained and great location! It turned out to be a chilly week for us, but we didn't let that spoil our trip. We watched dolphins, from the deck, almost daily, walked the beach and/or roadside daily, relaxed, traveled to nearby towns (Wilmington, Southport, Calabash), and just enjoyed our time away.

Holden R Breath is the first property we have ever wanted to reserve for the next year. The house is comfortable. The appliances are nice. An ice maker! The kitchen was stocked perfectly. It looks like the owner has started to freshen the place up. It looks good and smells good. It doesn't have a moldy feel to it. The decking toward the ocean could be replaced. It is rotting and some boards are loose. There is also some water damage to the paneling in a few places inside, mostly near windows and doors.

This is a beautiful property and exactly what we wanted. The view is amazing and we loved the original beach cottage layout that lets the breeze through the cottage. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. It is the right combination of comfort and beach casual. Laundry facilities were great. The kitchen is well equipped except for some of the frying pans that have peeling teflon. We didn't know how well equipped the kitchen would be so we brought a few pans with us. But other than that I was very impressed with the kitchen. There are a few places with worn or chipped paint, which I didn't mind, but some guests might. All in all. I would LOVE to stay here again. I was exactly what I hoped for.

Our only problem was the house we reserved was under construction when we got here which was very disappointing. But your staff found us another place since we had our dog with us there was only a couple of places to stay. They were very nice about it the place wasn't what we expected since it was our sons first time at beach we wanted front row too. But we made it work and your staff was great.
