Turtle's Watch: Canal-front dog-friendly home near beach, canal view, & dock

HB274 Turtle's Watch

Welcome to Turtle's Watch! Get ready to feel the sand between your toes, listen to the shore birds, fish off the private dock, and look for treasures the ocean delivers on shore each day. Oh, and enjoy family and friends in this four-bedroom canal front home. An outdoor shower helps to wash away the sand and salt at the end of a full day.
Holden Beach is across the street, just around the corner via the paved sidewalk path. The sidewalk extends for many blocks, which makes it easy to maintain your exercise routine. Bicycle-friendly too. We do allow one small dog (Less than 35 lbs.)
After a day at the beach, visiting local attractions, or boating the ICW from the canal, there are two floors for family and friends to gather for meals, games, or just relaxing on front and back decks with beverages in hand. An outdoor table is available for alfresco dining on the ground floor by the private pier and floating dock.
And for early risers, you can see the sun rise from the front top deck, and for a photo-worthy sunset, watch the sun set from the upper deck on the back. And yes, you can actually see the ocean from two peek-a-boo views.
You'll find a fully equipped kitchen, living room seating on both floors, and four and a half bathrooms, which will surely keep the peace. Washer and dryer available too.
Holden Beach is a turtle sanctuary. If you see a turtle's nest, take care not to disturb it. Do your part to help them hatch and make
their way to their ocean life.
Enjoy your time at Turtle's Watch. Come back soon!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area.

Great Vacation Home!

We had such a great stay at Weekend at Ernies for Mother's Day! Large enough for the whole family and all the kids and very roomy. Loved the separate living areas for everyone. Kitchen had everything we needed. House was clean and all the bathrooms were stocked with lots of towels and toiletries. The boys spent most of the time out at the dock fishing so that was a great amenity having the deck and seating outside. Short walk to the beach access and pier. Overall a great weekend and we will definetly be back!

Space, but needs pest control.

The house had plenty of space for our family, but roaches were an issue. We killed 5 while we were there, but saw more during the day and in the middle of the night. The door to the back deck upstairs in the bedroom would not shut at the bottom, so there was space for bugs to come in the house. Toenail clippings found in the den when we arrived. Plenty of space, but needs a good cleaning and pest control to visit.
