Unexpected visitors
We love the location of the house, easy access to the beach. Enjoyed family time until we had unexpected visitors…. There were cockroaches there. My daughter left a day early with her baby. …. The beds were little to hard for my liking. And the last night we were there the power went out around 10 pm and didn’t come back on until after 2 am…. It was the whole east end….

Holden beach- Shem cottage
We stayed April -may 4 for our daughters 4 th birthday. We love the house and the beach. Holden beach is family friendly and the house had an amazing view. It is an older cottage with wood panels and kinda small but thats what we loved about it’s. Felt cozy and welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook. Steps from the ocean. We were worried since the porch is on the front of the house instead of beach side the view wasn’t gonna be good but it to the sides and gives you a perfect view of the beach. House was kid friendly and had toys and games for everyone. Loved this house and would stay again in the future.

Perfect View!
The location of the house is perfect. It is well furnished with linens. There’s plenty of dishes for use if needed. The deck with the rocking chairs provide an amazing and relaxing environment. I rated 3 out of 5 simply due to cleanliness and things that were outdated. The vents in the ceiling had lots of dust all around them. The bathrooms could’ve been cleaned better as well. The furniture inside is getting old and could be replaced. Overall, I would stay here again, but I feel that the place could use a little TLC.
We loved this ocean front cottage. Beautiful views of the ocean. Cozy, serene and quiet. Perfect place to reflect and refresh.

Shem Cottage
Great place and location to stay with your family! It’s obviously an older home but very well kept and clean upon arrival. We stayed two houses down last summer and that home was very recently remodeled with modern appliances, layouts etc. We enjoyed our stay at the Shem Cottage much more it just feels more like home to us. Will definitely stay again if available

A gem for small groups
The charming, well furnished cottage with homey photos of several generations of family at the beach, made us feel welcome. There is a beautiful view of the beach from inside and there is a small deck from which you can see both the ocean for sunrises and the marsh side for sunsets. A very comfortable spot on a quiet beach.
We absolutely loved our stay this past week.
The location cannot be beat. We found beautiful shells and sharks teeth, and food lion/shops were very convenient.

Lovely little cottage
This cottage is perfectly located! The oceanfront allowed our kids to swim, hunt for seashells and shark teeth, star gaze, fish and crab hunt. The cottage had everything we needed. Our family adored our stay.

Cozy beachfront cottage
Shem Cottage was the perfect beachfront place for our group of 4 adults and 3 toddlers. We loved the ocean views from the living room and being so close. The house has everything you need. Beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. We’ll definitely be back!

This oceanfront house was perfect for our little family`s winter getaway. The beach access is ideal. We loved watching the sunrise and the sunset, right from the living room. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. We hope to return in the warmer months!
This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
Check in was a breeze, home was clean and we loved the views from the living room windows. The porch on the front of the home has rockers but no table. We loved the refrig style!! It adds to the classic beach vibe this house gives. We loved our stay and will plan on staying again!!!
I enjoyed the week stay at this place. It only wasn’t rated better because the washing machine wasn’t working as advertised so it put my family in a bind without clothing for the full trip and we had to do a lot of hand washing and buying new clothing to get by. Also there were roaches. Otherwise the house seemed clean and had everything we needed. It was the house closest to the ocean, which was so neat being right on the water
