Robert's Retreat is a older beach house about 6 blocks from the ocean in a nice neighborhood. It's comfortable like many of the beach houses we've stayed in at Holden Beach. We worried that it might be hot because of the chalet style, but the mini-split AC system allowed each room to be comfortably cooled. There was a dehumidifier that we emptied a couple of times a day. One ceiling light was flickering and the repairman came pretty quickly to fix it. There weren't a lot of serving utensils, so it could use some spatulas, serving spoons, etc. as well as some minor repairs like towel rods in the bathrooms. Overall, it was a very good experience.
