Family Vacay 2023
Our entire family was able to stay here comfortably. We had 8 adults - 3 couples and 2 singles. I enjoyed the front and back porches/decks and would sit outside every morning to enjoy my coffee. Susy was very easy to work with and her communication was wonderful - from check-in and check-out procedures to letting us know about restaurants and events happening on the island. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and relaxing!!
We had a great time!!! Very relaxing, great view and accommodations were wonderful!! The walk to the beach is two streets over and it was helpful to have the outside shower to rinse off before going inside. My one big rule whenever we rent a house is the "SAND"..... I don't want to sleep in it so I'm constantly sweeping!!!! Over the bridge has awesome ice cream places and some restaurants that we loved!!! You will love this place if you rent it!

Great Location and Nice Home
The homeowner was exceptional. This property is exactly as described and was perfect for our group (4 adults and two toddlers). If you're anything like our family, comfort, location, and a kitchen stocked with needed tools are the most important parts of a trip. We were all very happy with our stay and will likely be back to Gimme Shelter in the future.

Everything we could have expected and more!
This was our very first time using VRBO and we could not have had a better experience than what we did. The home was very clean and had everything that we could have possibly needed for a comfortable stay. The process from the very beginning of expressing interest all the way to the checkout process was very simple and very much appreciated being a first time renter. The owner was incredibly nice and available for any questions throughout the days leading up to our vacation as well as the stay. I would highly recommend this home to anyone for all the reasons above plus some!

So happy with the GIMME SHELTER cottage!
We vacation at Holden Beach every summer. Our family tradition has been going on for decades. This was one of the very best places! We had a beautiful view of the canal & the ocean! The interior is beautiful, spacious & very well equipped. My favorite thing about this place is the outdoor hangouts! The front porch has 2, the back porch 2 & downstairs has 3 where we enjoyed hvg coffee, breakfast, appetizers, cocktails etc. It was just like the photos. Susy could not hv been more helpful & quick to respond. We wd definitely rent it again…

About the host

Hosted by Susy Wrenn

Host profile image
We live in a 90 year old home Greensboro, NC and love to travel and have actually used VRBO ourselves several times!

Why they chose this property

We bought "Gimme Shelter" in 1999 because we both love the beach and grew up spending summers on the coast. It has become our perfect sanctuary for getting away from it all and totally relaxing. During the difficult times of our life it has provided just the therapy we needed and in good times it has and continues to be the most wonderful place to bond with family and entertain friends.

What makes this property unique

We chose this house because of its easy floor plan and of course its Porches! No matter the season or the weather, we spend a lot of time enjoying the front and back porches. Our house is the basic "H" plan which is 2 bedrooms on each side with bathrooms between and a big open common area. It offers great times all together but also privacy when needed. The front area is paved as is underneath the house which provides good parking as well as another area to hang out. We love our outside shower with paintings done by a family member. We decided we wanted the décor of our house to be geared more towards comfort and an "older" beach house feel so we have enjoyed decorating it that way. So if you are looking for shiny, new beachy furnishings, this is not the house for you, but if you are looking for a quaint, interesting, relaxing house, it is for you!
