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 enormous kitchen and living space with expansive vistas of the canal. The home features a giant 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 outfitted 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 adore the fun of fishing and crabbing from the dock. If you're a seafarer, you'll appreciate 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 appreciate 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!

Tips to get the very best Cape Fear area rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

  • Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
  • Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
  • Find a copy of your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental home:

  • To start, have your family choose vacation dates and a budget.
  • Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Charming Canal Home, 2 Blocks from Beach Access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your family.
  • Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs applied to your invoice.
  • Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Advice for your stay:

  • We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
  • At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
  • After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.

Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
