Only a fool would think this is NOT heaven! This handsome inverted floor plan canal home (1K, 4Q, 1FT) has both character and space! Sleeps 11. The first-floor bedroom has a private bath and French doors that open to the deck with a striking marsh view.

Appreciate expansive vistas of the ocean, marsh, and Intracoastal Waterway from the 32 feet top floor deck. Catch the ocean breeze and watch the wild deer come out at sunset for a drink from the marsh. Unwind on one of the covered porches. Take advantage of the enormous deck on the canal with a floating dock to anchor your boat after a bountiful day on the water. Bring your own fishing rods and crab nets; fish right off the dock! Blue crabs, and occasionally a stone crab will show up in your nets. Beach access is across from Marlin St., about a 5-min. walk (380 yards).

Everyone will adore having comfortably furnished living areas with huge flat-screen HDTVs on both levels.

All bathrooms include one roll of toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, makeup wipes, and bar soap. Your beds are made with fresh linens and a lightweight blanket, so you can jump right into making memories rather than making beds! While we provide a lightweight blanket, we urge you to bring additional layers for your comfort. Please note that while top bunk beds, trundles, sleeper couches, futons, and daybeds will not be made, we will provide fresh linens for them.

As a gift to you, this home offers a $250 credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay.

How to book the best Holden Beach rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Carolina Beach restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the perfect rental in Holden Beach:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Hobbs Realty - \"Fool's Paradise\" an island home on the canal with boat dock, 2 living rooms and great water views! has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Carolina Beach beach you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
