Great house and a great time. Usually most homes dont have a quarter of the kitchen amenities that this home came with which was amazing. We had a great time relaxing in the home and enjoyed sitting on the dock. Home also came with everything you need to enjoy a beach stay; chairs, kayaks, bikes, you name it !!! Will def look to stay here again when we come back to Holden.

I’ve been in a dozen rentals at beaches and mountains and this was maybe our best. Clean, everything as it was stated. Well equipped with things that were useful. Close to the beach. Immediately felt like our home away from home. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Anchor's Away was perfect. It had exactly we were looking for- private dock with easy access to the intracoastal waterway, and short walk to the beach for the non-boating time. The house was very clean, well furnished, spacious, and comfortable. We'd definitely stay here again.

What a great space! Even though it rained the first day and a half of our stay, we had comfy couches to read books on, a big TV for movies, and the screened porch for a dry spot outside. Cooked several full meals in the fully stocked kitchen. Lovely outdoor space and dock to launch kayaks the next day, had a glorious lunch at the outside table. A fantastic spot to vacation. Would definitely stay again.
