Excellent location - bathroom shower curtain in Jack and Jill bathroom needs to be replaced (had mold on it). Property manager was incredibly attentive.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Holden Beach. The house was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the property owner. The pool was a big plus and used by all! The beach was a brief walk away. Our stay was all we hoped for.

Mr Woods was great in keeping us up to date before our stay and also checking in with us during our stay when a storm was approaching. The home fit our family wonderfully, giving everyone their own space. Having a pool to cool off in after a long, hot day at the beach was GREAT. Sadly I did not pay close enough attention to the fact that there were so many steps to the beach access (my fault) Other than my hip "talking to me" each night, it was a perfect trip. Thank you Mr Woods for opening your lovely home to me and my family.

Communication was excellent from the time we booked and throughout our stay. It was a perfect location. We loved being able to step out at night to enjoy sunset on the beach. The house had everything we needed. My girls loved playing games in the extra loft area by the kitchen. We had forgotten one of the beach and pool toys for our youngest, but Irv had something perfect available for him to use!

Grandmother, Mother and Grandaughter escaped for a delightful 3 day weekend over Mother's Day. Perfect interlude in a very busy end of school year. Would definitely recomment Holden Beach for a peaceful, pleasant vacation. Owner of property was very easy to communicate with.

We just returned from our week stay at Pelican Point. This was our first trip to Holden beach and it won't be our last. The beach was lovely and not crowded.
The house was very comfortable and just what we were looking for. The pool and elevator were a welcome addition to our stay.
The host was so nice and provided all the info we needed to make our stay perfect.
I can't say enough about Holden Beach and Pelican Point.

This property is in an ideal location and exactly as described. The best stocked beach home we have EVER rented. Pool items, beach items, kitchen items, books, games… it’s all there!
Irv is a great host. He sent detailed instructions that explain everything you would need to know about the home and the area. He also responded quickly and kindly to texts. We will definitely be back.

Family Vaca
I hesitate to say how amazing this property is!! Access to the beach is so close! We have a 2 year old and 4 year old so quick access back to the house for naps or lunch was a must! The pool was fantastic for beach breaks and Irv was one of the best owners we’ve ever interacted with. Kept us informed throughout with possible storms, tips for the area and there was plenty of beach toys and chairs - so much so that we won’t pack any of our own next time. Will definitely look to return!

We had great communication with the property owner who answered any questions quickly and honestly. Check in was super easy and the house was exactly as described. The Master with the King Bed (ocean view) is on the top floor, the rooms with the Ocean View Queens are on the entry floor. Deck has gorgeous views of the ocean. Property is situated between two public beach entrances so you can people watch but never feel at all crowded. Would definitely stay here again!

When you book a trip the only thing you can’t foresee is the weather. Checking in during a tropical storm for some would have been nerve racking but the games they had there were perfect. We played monopoly and then a few card games that night then woke up to a nice Monday but it rained off and on most of the week. We had plenty to do in the house and the house was big enough we could give each other space and alone time too. Irv was above and beyond what you would want in a property owner and we stayed in touch through the week. Any issues or questions were answered within minutes and we had nothing but good times and great memories to take home. First time at Holden beach for us but if you have a family it’s perfect for every aspect of a vacation.

We just came back from a short stay at Pelican Watch and loved it! It was great being steps away from the beach and the pool was an added bonus. There was plenty of space for us - 4 adults and 3 teenagers and the decks were wonderful. We look forward to returning.

Pelican Watch was the perfect getaway from all the craziness that is going on in the world right now. The entire week was stress-free! This was all thanks to the beautiful ocean views from the home (and only about a 60 second walk to the beach!) as well as the relaxing private pool. The owner was also great at communication and the home was very well organized and had everything we needed. The whole family left feeling so refreshed! We would love to come back and spend another week here next year! We highly recommend Pelican Watch to anyone wanting to have an amazing relaxing vacation in Holden Beach!

Wonderful family getaway
We had a lovely time. It was peaceful and perfect. We were steps from the beach and in a very quiet part of the island. The private pool was a wonderful way to cool off and wind down from the beach. The regular flying over of pelicans was a treat! Never seen that! It was a trip we will always remember as a family.

Mr. Woods was great to work with and very quick to respond to any questions we had. Great location with quick access to the bridge to go back to the mainland when needed. The house is in a great location with easy access to public access over the dunes to the beach. We will be back in the future.

Wonderful Holden Beach Property
We loved our time at Holden Beach. This was our first time on the east end, and it proved to be relaxing and the best shell-hunting spot we’ve had after 12+ annual visits to the island. The house is comfortable and Irv was a very communicative host. He was very responsive to an issue we had on the first day and we were able to resolve it very quickly. Thanks!

Family vacation
We truly had a wonderful time on our first family vacation in 8 years. The location was perfect. Close to the beach and the pool was perfect. Having a place with an elevator made it super easy for grandma who struggles with steps. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was so nice and answered any questions we had. We hope to go back next year. Loved Pelican Watch

Amazing Vacation!
Pelican Watch is fabulous! It is beautiful, clean, has a fantastic pool, a well-stocked kitchen, and is in a convenient peaceful location. The views from each deck are breathtaking. Do not forget about the back deck-the sunsets are amazing! We had such a great stay not only because of the beautiful beach and house but also because of Irv. He met us upon arrival and showed us around the house and how to take care of the pool-such a nice guy! He was ready and willing to assist with anything that came up during our stay and a very gracious host. Absolutely nothing came up or went wrong during our 10 day stay though! We will definitely vacation with Irv at Pelican Watch again.
