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 humongous 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 savor 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 adore 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!
