Pictures do not do this stay justice! It was the perfect place for our large family vacation and the hosts where very responsive. Great location on the canal, plus close to public beach access. We would definitely stay here again.

This home was fabulous! The interior design was warm, comfortable and clean. The towels were so much nicer than usual. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the gas grill wonderful. Great view of the canal and short walk to the ocean.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Dancing Pelican. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and dishes - very important to us as we all love to cook. The furniture and beds were so comfortable as well with plenty of space for all of us. The walk to the beach was so easy. We will definitely be back!

This is one our favorite houses and we will be back in the future. The house was very clean and spacious. We loved how there was 2 living rooms - one for us and one for the teenagers. The house was very beautiful inside and out. Thank you.

Family vacation

Beautiful house a short walk to beach. 5-bedrooms that were exactly what we needed. The huge walk-in showers were wonderful, although the kids loved the outside shower. Each floor has a large family space where we could gather to play games, watch tv or just hang out. Large kitchen and plenty of storage. Elevator was nice to help bring up luggage and groceries. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Lisa and Butch,Outstanding property, easy access to everything. views from the back decks of the canal were stunning. House was well maintained and furnished beautifully. My wife is in a wheelchair, the only suggestion that I would have is to install grab bars in the water closet area so that hand caped individuals would have an easier transfer from chair to toilet, otherwise this is the perfect place for someone in a wheelchair. If this place is available for our next trip, I will definitely be looking for it. Calvin

Thank you for this excellent and thoughtful review. I can see that a grab bar would be a good idea in the water closet. Will be looking into that and appreciate the suggestion!

Holden Holiday

Our group of nine had the best weekend at the Dancing Pelican! The house is located on a quiet side street on the canal and was a very short walk to the public beach access. We especially enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs and relaxing each night. The house itself is beautiful, clean, and spacious. The owners provided so many thoughtful touches like floor fans in each bedroom, strategically placed night lights, and outlets with charging ports to name a few. The kitchen was well-stocked and neatly organized. This was our first trip to Holden Beach and we found it to be the perfect family and dog friendly beach. We are already planning our return trip!

We had an amazing time at Holden Beach staying in the Dancing Pelican! The house is beautiful with great bedroom setups. The kitchen is well stocked with all amenities that you may need to cook for the week, including a gas grill. The kids loved fishing off the canal dock and catching tons of little fish each night. The hosts were available quickly via phone and VRBO messaging for questions. You are a three minute walk to the closest beach access. Despite it being the week after July 4th, the beach was not crowded at all. It was amazing to be able to easily find a spot close to the ocean each day. You won’t regret booking this house! We will definitely consider it for future visits.
