Here are a few kind words from our past Guests:
"We have stayed in homes all up and down the NC shore. This is the best one we have stayed in by far. It felt like home the min. we walked in the door. The cleanliness and attention to detail was evident. It was comfortable, well outfitted and the location was superb. This home has been well appreciated and cared for."
"Excellent Communication! We have stayed at many properties on Holden and this is comfortably one of the best!"
"Jenny & Mark are superb hosts! They are very responsive to any requests & are very proud of this home which is evident by everything they do being FIRST CLASS! We look forward to returning in the future!"
Our Signature Beach Feel
One of our guests' favorite amenities is our complimentary Concierge Beach Tent Service, supplied with 7 nighttime weekly stays from April-September. Instead of bringing a tent and spending time setting up each morning, simply walk down your private boardwalk where your professionally set-up beach tent is waiting for you. It's one more way we help you spend less time managing vacation logistics and more time calming with the people you adore.
Every detail of Keys in the Conch Shell was chosen to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and completely effortless.
