Dog-friendly waterfront home with private boat dock and close to beach access

I would definitely recommend this house to anyone. It was phenomenally clean and such a short walk to the beach. It was perfect for accommodations for children and they allow one dog so had some accommodations for pets as well! I will definitely be booking again.

Nicely renovated older home. Well equipped kitchen. Cumfy living area.

Great house, close to the beach love having a grill

We liked everything about our stay. The location was perfect, and the house size was just right for our party of four adults, two children, and a pup. Everything was spotless, and fresh sheets, towels, and toiletries were provided. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making meals easy and convenient. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Decor, huge back porch and floating dock where you can launch a paddle board or kayak.

The house was in a great location and easy to get to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything was just as pictured and described and we loved it!

We had originally booked another house through Vacasa. However, it was under repair. Vacasa was very helpful and gave us a few options to choose from. We chose “Holden the Waves.” Access to the canal, and a short walk to the beach made it a perfect choice for our family. The house was very cozy. It had a great view of the canal. I would definitely recommend this house to a friend. We had a great stay!

The location is great if you want access to a dock and the beach. Since it is a older house, there are no ceiling fans but they have provided a fan for every room which is necessary. We had some extra unwarranted friends join us every day, which scared us away so hopefully a good pest control company can come help resolve. The kitchen was well stocked. The dock is the selling point with the crab trap. Beware of your head as you head down to the garage for the washer and dryer. Also, the outdoor shower is a nice touch after the beach. If you have pet allergies stay away, but definitely a pet friendly place.

Good family set up

Short walk to the beach…. Loved it… only issue is with checking in and communication … it’s managed by Vacasa and they don’t respond when you need answers … just AI assistants… won’t rent again bc would like direct communication with simple questions …. Like early check in? An hour early..Funny to see VRBO advertise nick saban being a tough about check in but Vacasa won’t allow it at all… sad … really like the hoise

My husband and I had a great stay over a long weekend. Our daughter and a friend were supposed to join but couldn’t make it so we had more than enough room. The house was very clean and basics were included. We didn’t do a lot of cooking but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Beach access was an easy walk. We would stay here again. Thanks!

Overall, our stay in Holden onto Sunshine was good. The home is nicely furnished and decorated, and it was a quiet neighborhood close to beach access. However, there are some things potential renters may want to be aware of. The tech in the house was extremely annoying; the smart thermostat kept the house from cooling properly, the WiFi would only allow one device to connect at a time, and the code lock on the door was complicated when you tried to lock it behind you before leaving. Also, the pictures of the house are not a fully accurate reflection of what it is like. Mostly this is a good thing, as some improvements/updates have been done (like new furniture, nicer bedding, etc) but in one regard it’s misleading. The kitchen is very small (which you can’t really tell due to the angles the pictures were taken from), and the closet containing the washer and dryer is in the kitchen, opposite the sink and dishwasher. I didn’t love having to take dirty clothes into the room where food is prepared, although I recognize this may not be an issue for everyone. As previously stated, our stay was fairly pleasant and the house was cute, but these various issues did cause us some degree of aggravation during our stay.

This was our second stay here. We stayed last year. Tropical Storm Debbie caused a HUGE amount of flooding on property. It was over a foot deep to walk up to the property! We had to carry are 7 year old! It also brought 100’s of frogs under the house! We did leave a day early and had to walk all our belongings out to the road because our truck couldn’t even go to the driveway! So, the home is fantastic, but the flooding was the worst on the block! We would be nervous to rent again. What a shame, it is a fantastic home!!!!!

Peaceful street, short walk to the beach and clean house!

The house was very nice. Great location, just a short walk to the beach. Well-stocked kitchen with utensils, spices, cutlery, etc. Very nice covered space under the house with picnic tables and a grill. We had a wonderful stay!

the house is a bit rundown and the outside deck is unsafe.

Short walk to the beach with small children
