This was our first time traveling with our dog, and this property was ideal for a fisherman, their dog, and the family. The accommodations with Carolina Breeze was excellent. We would definitely consider renting this property again.

This house was everything and more! Close enough so we could walk to the beach but not in the main strip so we were not so worried about our dog. My husband enjoyed fishing at the dock and the house was so comfortable we enjoyed just hanging out. We plan to book this property again in the future.

A Pleasant Surprise

We had originally booked another house through Vacasa. However, it was under repair. Vacasa was very helpful and gave us a few options to choose from. We chose “Holden the Waves.” Access to the canal, and a short walk to the beach made it a perfect choice for our family. The house was very cozy. It had a great view of the canal. I would definitely recommend this house to a friend. We had a great stay!

6/10 Okay

Great location

The location is great if you want access to a dock and the beach. Since it is a older house, there are no ceiling fans but they have provided a fan for every room which is necessary. We had some extra unwarranted friends join us every day, which scared us away so hopefully a good pest control company can come help resolve. The kitchen was well stocked. The dock is the selling point with the crab trap. Beware of your head as you head down to the garage for the washer and dryer. Also, the outdoor shower is a nice touch after the beach. If you have pet allergies stay away, but definitely a pet friendly place.
