About this property

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!

Nice place

House was nice overall. Could use some updates. Not many supplies, especially in the kitchen. Great view off the back deck. WiFi was bad all week. Overall was fine.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Sept, 2024
Thank you so much, C., for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear that the home had plenty of space for your family. However, we’re truly sorry that your stay was impacted by these issues. Cleanliness and comfort are incredibly important to us, and we regret that this wasn’t your experience. We want to assure you that pest control was contacted immediately upon your report, and the door to the back deck will be addressed. The owner has placed a block on the property to ensure that all necessary maintenance is done to prevent any future issues. We’ve also been in touch with housekeeping to address the cleanliness concerns you mentioned. We appreciate you bringing these to our attention, as it helps us maintain the standard we strive for. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again with a much improved experience.
