Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Intracoastal Waterway

Fantastic location!! Three minute walk to the beach, near the general store, short drive to the restaurants. The perfect location in Holden Beach. The house is nice. The backyard on the canal was a great place to hangout in the evening. We would stay here again!

Our family of 4 adults completely enjoyed this home. Check in was easy. The location is convenient to Publix, Food Lion, beach shops and everything in between. The home was exceptionally clean, quiet, and relaxing with all the essentials included. Beds were comfortable and linens and towels were of nice quality. LR was spacious, stylish and inviting. The kitchen was well appointed. We did not go out to the beach, but the garage space contained everything we would have needed and more for a beach day. Terri arranged a golf cart for us. It was there and waiting for us upon arrival. It was in excellent condition. Terri gave us several recommendations on places to eat. From breakfast, lunch, and dinner to even the best places for ice cream. Terri checked in with us daily to make sure we were satisfied. We had a lovely dinner at Island Way. Was an upscale, casual restaurant. Our meal was heavenly. Lots of crab, scallops and shrimp in one dish. We will be back. Terri was the best host!!

It was our second stay here and we feel right at home there. We love the spacious back porch and large fenced yard for our dogs. It is very walkable to the beach but we were able to get parking by the beach access. The house is well stocked with everything you need and even lots of Tupperware! The owners have been renovating and adding to the appeal since the last time we came five months ago. We can’t wait to come back again.

Great place to stay, great location, will definitely return.

We had the best time!! We were able to bring our boat and park it at the boat dock. I will say if you have a bigger boat I don’t know if you will be able to park there all weekend, but not a far drive at all to a boat ramp. The place was very clean and had all the things you will need! There is even dog toys and a bed! Betsy was super helpful and nice. We will definitely come and stay many more times.

Peaceful Beach Getaway in Carolina Beach I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Carolina Beach. The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the beach, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. It was the ideal spot to unwind and disconnect. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made for a relaxing escape from the busyness of daily life. If you’re looking for a calm, coastal retreat with a great location, I highly recommend this place. I’d definitely love to come back again!

The pictures does no justice. An amazingly beautiful home. The backyard is a relaxing oasis. James was very tentative in responding to our questions. My family and I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

I have stayed twice at this little house on a very quiet street. It's the quietest night's sleep you can find. Kathie responded almost immediately to my messages through airbnb with quick answers to my questions. That was very important to us visiting from out of town. Thank you, Kathie. This little house is a perfect over nighter for 2 couples or two individuals needing 2 separate rooms. 1 small bathroom was enough. The house had a washer and dryer and the cutest little kitchen with all you would need to cook. We will stay here again, I bet.

We loved being so close to the beach, the pool, and the pier. Pier bar drinks and service were great! We recommend the Bahama Mama and The Painkiller. The condo was very clean and inviting. The deck was perfect for our morning croissants and fresh fruit with coffee. We enjoyed watching the waves and listening to seabirds as they soared above the sea. Just a short drive to the Boardwalk gave us some great shopping and restaurants. We recommend Britt’s donuts. Don’t buy just one -cash only! Matthew was the perfect host! He answered my questions quickly and checked in to see if we needed anything. Perfect week for us to rest and relax!

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at A Wave From it All, and it did not disappoint. We stayed for 4 nights, and were able to enjoy the beach and the activities with no problem. The only downside was that the pool was unfortunately closed for our time here, and we had originally chose this place based on the fact that there was also a pool, however that isn’t something Jenna could control of course as they were doing construction on it; we did not know until we arrived. However, the restaurants and the boardwalk are all very close, as well as the beach access being right across from our house. We walked the pond most nights as well which was nice. Overall, we had a great experience here and will be staying again next year.

My husband and I loved staying here. Very easy to access, clean and cozy. Great location (close to great restaurants) and the view is beautiful! It had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful house! Worked perfect for me and my wifes vacation! Really enjoyed having the stock take pool right out side our door. Look forward to staying here in the future!

This beautifully landscaped secluded getaway is exactly what we needed. The large pond, small walking paths around the property and large screened in porch are a perfect way to detach from the day-to-day. When we stayed in May, the temperatures were cooler and the heated pool made it so much better to enjoy. The kids loved exploring the arcade machines upstairs as well. Highly recommend staying here if it remotely piques your interest!

Had a great stay at Michelle’s place! She was a great host and great at communication. It was clean and so adorable- great and quiet neighborhood! Thank you so much Michelle!

Stephanie’s place was awesome. The boardwalk is within walking distance along with several things to do. Another plus were the fireworks at 9pm. I highly recommend this place for a quick getaway.

This place was awesome for me cozy, quite , nice neighborhood my dog who requires a lot of attention also loved the area thank you for this stay highly recommended

We loved our beach stay at Rhonda's place! It was our first time to Holden Beach and it was awesome to stay in a clean, comfortable place. It was an easy to walk to the beach. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. Beach supplies were at the house for our use and the outside shower was super helpful. Rhonda was responsive and kind and we would definitely recommend her place! Also, she provided great coffee for our stay!!

We come to Oak Island every year and this house was by far our favorite we have ever stayed at and plan to come back here next year! The mattresses are so comfortable, the house was so clean, comfortable and cozy that it was a joy to come back to every day and it truly felt like a luxurious vacation. Every amenity was top notch, and we truly wanted for nothing while staying here. Having direct access to the beach, with an outdoor shower with hot water, and all of the beach chairs and sunshades you need was just incredible. We had the best time- thanks again!!

This is a perfect spot to go with your pups. Easy access to the totally fenced, level yard with shade. Easy travel to beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. The only thing I thought could be better is the living room furniture, as it was not very comfortable to lounge in on a rainy day.

Great place, beach house energy!! Walkable to the beach, nice dock at the end of the road. Close to great restaurants and still convenient to Holden & Southport (25-30 min drive) we went to both for dinner. Also has great amenities with the beach equipment they have for guest, helped us as we didn’t come fully prepared as we normally do! Johnny (their Pup) was a sweet touch to say hey to when he was out with his people, the hostess, whom are both very friendly!!!! :) I’d recommend this house to anyone to stay at!

Anthony was a wonderful host! Very responsive and nice. Made us feel right at home. Camper was very clean and had everything that we needed. Loved it and had a great time! Would definitely stay with them again and highly recommend!!

A wonderful peaceful place a minute away from the beach a beautiful getaway

Laura was super responsive and Brian and Melissa made us feel like part of the family. One of the best, if not the best, stays we've enjoyed at an Airbnb. Thank you for having us and we'll definitely be back! 🙂

We have vacationed at the NC Coast for 20+ years. This was our first trip to Holden Beach and staying on a canal. We brought our boat and I think this was probably my favorite vacation at the coast ever! The house was PERFECT... the layout and all the amenities were great. Having the kayak and paddleboard was a great addition and the upper deck overlooking the canal was amazing. We didn't use the tiki bar below but I did use that space for exercising - it was wonderful to look out over the water and the breeze was perfect! All in all, it was a wonderful stay and the owner, Christopher, was so great with answering any questions I had. We were very lucky to have been able to spend time here - we will definitely be back again!!!
