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!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Summer months are high season in the Southport area. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
  • Booking websites often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
  • Find a copy of your local Southport visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best rental home in Holden Beach:

  • Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family 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 Southport rentals search.
  • Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before booking the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
  • Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your agreement.
  • If there's an individual Southport attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few concerns.
  • Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
  • Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.

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.
