Holden Beach Holidays

The resort is located right on the beach. There is a great beach bar on the property with excellent live music! Our room had an ocean view with a balcony. However, when we arrived we noticed a horrible stench and water was seeping on the floor. We called the front desk and maintenance arrived quickly. They dried it up and left the industrial fan to make sure it was dry. When we woke up on our first morning the toilet was overflowing with yuck. We called again and maintenance came quickly. Also the room next to us had water?????coming out of their room and that was what caused the water from the previous day in our room. It was disgusting. We were without a bathroom for the entire day. For four days we had an industrial fan and a dehumidifier in our unit.

was a good experience.

I have stayed here at Schooner for many years, the room we were in had clean kitchen, bath and bed areas but the rest was dusty dirty and showing it's age. Was first time to me this building felt dated or semi cared for

The 24 hour indoor pool was a great way to not be in a rush for pool hours.

Unfortunately, the mold all over the room was an issue. We did have a room with a kitchenette, and you can tell they don't check on any of the kitchen items for cleanliness. We did have to *scrub* everything down before getting to use them; normally a simple wash and rinse would be expected. Damprid containers everywhere and the two dehumidifiers were full as we entered the room... so those clearly didn't get checked/emptied/replaced. We've stayed in rooms that have been hit with moisture before but you could tell the properties had maintained drying them out before placing back in renter use; they didn't seem too phased here and just said "you can't do much about that." Actuality, the last one we stayed at brought in a massive machine to pull water out of the room when we got hit with a unusually bad storm that flooded the room on top of discounting our stay for the inconvenience of them cleaning the room when we weren't even in it. The general floors outside of the room seem well kept, as was the main floor and the multitude of pools/hot tubs. The options for swimming were wonderful! It was one of the two main reasons we chose to stay there. The other was for the view, which was a bit of a letdown to learn that oceanview meant an angled view. Would be great to add the detail of being angled view on those particular rooms (which is the vast majority of them it seems). Last note: its next to public access and LOUD ice cream trucks come through NONSTOP nearly every 30min-1hr.
