Welcome to Captain Hank's (formerly Captain P's)!

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom comfortable canal home can sleep 8 people, making it a ideal spot for your next family vacation. The cavernous layout offers a sizable kitchen and living space with expansive vistas of the canal. The home features a giant back porch, deck, gazebo, and floating dock.

The kitchen is very well-equipped with just about everything that you'll need to prepare big family dinners, or fast lunches during a break in the day. You'll find plenty of cooking equipment, toaster/convection oven, electric griddle, all for your use during your stay. Off the kitchen is a full-sized washer and dryer, plus additional cabinets to store snacks (up high and out of sight of the kids!).

The main bedroom offers a king bed, dresser and nightstand with drawers for clothing storage, and an attached bathroom with shower and single vanity. (Please note we keep the closet locked for owner's storage.) The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet, and dresser. The third bedroom (we've dubbed it the bunk home!) offers a double bed plus a twin-over-twin bunk bed, closet, and dresser supplied with games, toys and art supplies. A second bathroom at the end of the hall has a single vanity and shower/tub combo. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan and modest TV. The beds each have pillows and quilts and additional blankets, but you'll need to bring your own sheets, pillowcases, and bathroom linens.

In the living room is a big sectional ideal for family movie nighttime, and a well-adored leather reclining chair that is a favorite for afternoon naps. We have a huge TV with Roku device (bring your own logins!), and antique record player with a few vinyl records to choose from.

Downstairs is our unfinished game room with another TV, modest couch, chairs, pool table (disclaimer: it's survived a few floods). The game room does not have heat and cannot be accessed from the main living space, but it does have a wall AC unit and dehumidifier. During the summer it tends to get musty, but it's a great space for kids to play while the grown ups have happy hour on the deck. The outdoor shower will make cleaning up after the beach a breeze, and the hammock makes a great place to relax after a day in the sun.

Located the 5th home from Ocean Blvd, the home has Beach Access near the end of the adjacent street, a very short walk away. A five min. walk in the other direction you'll find another beach access, the Holden Beach General Store (ideal for odds and ends you'll need through the week), a modest local surf-shop, and ice cream shop!

Located centrally on the island (less than 2 miles from the bridge), our home is in one of the few canal neighborhoods of Holden Beach. Bring your boat for the week and drop it in the water at the complimentary boat ramp under the Holden Beach bridge, or bring your kayak, paddle boards, or jet skis. Tie up on the floating dock, where kids and adults alike appreciate the fun of fishing and crabbing from the dock. If you're a seafarer, you'll appreciate quick access to the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean is just a 10-15 min. boat ride away through the inlets at each end of the island.

The home receives evening shade on the back porch, which is ideal for dinner and a calming view of the canal. Stroll to the beach in just five mins. to watch the sunrise and sunset. There aren't many places in North Carolina where you can see the sunrise and the sunset from the beach - but Holden Beach is one of them!

The home also features an enclosed garage to securely store jet skis, beach gear, your bicycles, and/or modest car.

We purchased this home in 2021, did some redecorating, and through the process we have fallen in appreciate with Holden Beach. We're happy to answer any questions you have about the home or the area, so please feel complimentary to reach out! Looking forward to hosting you soon!

Tricks and tips to get the best Brunswick area vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
  • The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
  • Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

  • First, have your family select dates and a budget.
  • Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Charming Canal Home, 2 Blocks from Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • If there's a specific Brunswick area destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

  • Take a copy of the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of issues.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
  • Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
  • Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.

Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

Many properties include pools and hot tubs as well, perfect for outdoor entertaining, and many are dog friendly.   Lanier also notes that all properties are within walking or driving distance to Pleasure Island’s main attractions – Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
