We enjoy our stay very much. We really enjoyed the dart because we was able to bring our boat. My husband really liked that part of the house. We had a few problems but we let the owners know and they responded quickly about the problem. We will rent this place again

Cute little cottage
Amazing location with water views on 2 sides of the property. We brought our boat and cruised around the intercoastal waterway. Longer walk to the beach but the public access is right at the end of the road. House was tidy and provided us with enough room for our group of 7. We would stay here again!

Great location but unfriendly area
Location of the house is great with both and back having waterfront views. House in general is very clean. However, the dock at the back of the house has one floatation device broken, sinking one corner of the dock, making it unlevel and somewhat unsafe. We brought our boat and crab trap with us. However, we lost our crab trap because someone cut the rope of the trap and threw the floater on the nearby shoreline. This is the second time in Holden Beach that our crab trap was messed with by someone. It should be noted that we were careful in not placing our trap anywhere near the commercial crab traps.Last but not least, we were charged a very large amount of security deposit at the time of booking the trip, an amount that is equivalent to the total cost of rental for the stay. It took VRBO 14 days after we checked out before we got refunded. The owner told us VRBO was notified that there was no reported damage about 2 days after our checkout. We think not only was the amount of security deposit unnecessarily high, but to hold up customer 's deposit for 2 weeks after checkout was unacceptable. This alone is enough to make it uncomfortable for us to book with VRBO again.

Overall
The property was good the access to the basement was a little inconvenient having to go out and around to get in to wash clothes. The air seem to struggle with keeping it cool enough to our liking but it worked. The dock was a little scary with the one side broken had to watch my grandbaby very carefully with the unsteadiness of the dock.

AMAZING STAY
My family just got back from a 4 night stay and we will DEFINITELY be back!!! The house was perfect with so many thoughtful touches and lots of things to do for all kid ages. The location could not be more perfect! We fished right off the back dock every day and it was the highlight of the older kids trip. The homeowner is SO kind and responsive as well. 10/10 we will definitely be back

This house was the perfect setup for my family. We loved watching the boat traffic on both sides of the property. We just wish Debby didn't force us out early. We look forward to booking this property again and getting the full week experience.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Pearl of the Sea. It was fun to watch the dolphins in the intracoastal waterway and fish off the canal dock. The home had everything we needed and the host was very responsive to us with questions and concerns during our stay.

Private Peninsula Property on ICW
Amazing property, amazing views. The intercoastal waterway is in the front yard and the channel is in the back with a spacious boat dock and back yard. The beach is only two blocks away! Very clean property, thoughtfully decorated. Well stocked kitchen. Very courteous, responsive, and respectful host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning to the Pearl of the Sea again, very soon. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with us Sam, we look forward to our next stay!
