Meet your hosts!
Hi! We're Mark & Jenny Stoner.
Long before we called Holden Beach home, it was the place our family came to slow down, reconnect, and make some of our most treasured memories. Like so many who discover this special stretch of coastline, we fell in love with its unhurried pace, natural beauty, and the feeling that life is just a little sweeter by the sea.
Our journey as hosts began in 2015 with the purchase of Keys in the Conch Shell, our first oceanfront home in a place that already held so many special memories for our family. As our love for hosting grew, so did our dream of sharing Holden Beach with others.
A few years later, we expanded that dream with the addition of Sunshine in My Soul. Together, these two special properties became the foundation of Holden Coast Collective—a collection of exceptional oceanfront homes where thoughtful details and genuine hospitality come together.
Today, we're fortunate to call Holden Beach home. Being local allows us to personally care for our properties, share the places and experiences we love, and welcome guests with the same warmth and attention we'd extend to family and friends.
One of our greatest joy is knowing that the homes we love have become part of the memories and traditions other families treasure.
We can't wait to welcome you to Holden Beach!
