About this property
Dock Holiday! with Boat Dock & Pet Friendly
Dock Holiday is a 2,073 sq ft, fully remodeled ranch style home that is located in a unique friendly neighborhood and sits right on the canal.
This home is a clean and beautifully furnished Pine Knolls Shores Vacation Rental that has an open floor plan for plenty of entertainment. WiFi, cable and outdoor shower. A street legal golf cart is available with this vacation rental for a small fee. Bring your furry family to enjoy this time with you.
This quaint ranch home is secluded and very private home and is shaded by maritime forest and is part of the Pine Knolls Shores Association. Dock Holiday has one king size bed, one queen size bed and two double beds, as well as plenty of open space for extra air mattresses if needed.
The open concept allows for cooking and visiting with family and friends at the same time. There is plenty of room on the deck and lower patio to enjoy the outdoor setting by cooking on the grill or just enjoying the fresh air. Begin or end your day by relaxing and reading a book in the amazing sunroom, while watching boats drift by on the canal. Then go jump in your boat at your very own boat dock and take a cruise out into the beautiful sound and watch an amazing sunset. This home is a boaters dream.
The large garage has plenty of room to store your bikes, kayaks or other outdoor equipment you may bring for an enjoyable vacation. No bikes or kayaks? Rental of both is available at many places on the island. With your own dock, it is very easy to put the kayaks in and out.
The beach is only a short distance by car or golf cart with plenty of parking available. Several boat ramp's are available for your use also. Two Pine Knolls Shores Access Cards grant access to neighborhood boat ramps, parks and oceanfront parking.
Make this home your dream vacation and come stay at Dock Holiday! You will never want to leave.

Great place to stay, especially if you want to bring your boat. There is a small floating dock and there are a few ft of water even at low tide. Short golf cart or car ride to the beach.
We had a great stay at this property. Finding nice accommodations that are dog friendly can be a struggle, however this property provided all that we needed. Having the golf cart to use for beach trips was also a favorite of our child. Would definitely recommend this house and we are likely to return some day.

This is a lovely, well maintained home on one level with a wonderful property manager! Perfect for a peaceful vacation.
I have zero complaints about this property. It was clean and well stocked with linens and kitchenware. One small hiccup with the wrong code to check in but the property manager answered our call and walked us through the steps to gain access. It was a lovely vacation and a wonderful neighborhood. I will certainly be booking again.
Perfect location for us for a family wedding. Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. We had 5 adults and were very comfortable,
Small housekeeping issues could be improved. Single ply toilet paper and dusty fixture above dining table.
Communication w/property manager was easy via text

This home is adorable. A spacious ranch nestled in a quiet neighborhood. PNS is a gem of a beach! We enjoyed the enclosed back porch overlooking the sound. Loved that we could bring our dog!! We enjoyed riding the golf cart throughout the side streets. Fun trip!
This beautiful Pine Knoll Shores home checks all your vacation boxes. Peaceful neighborhood that seems like a whole world all on its own. This home offers some extra cool amenities as well. The golf cart add on its most definitely a must. And the rental company is top notch when it comes to making check- in so seamless. We definitely want to experience this place again!!! Thank you Dock Holiday!!

This is our second time staying at Dock Holiday, the ease of access to tie our boat off and get in and out of the canal with no isssues is great. Plus the location is perfect for trips to see the aquarium or go into morehead/Beaufort and site see. We will return again, 10/10 every time!
Being able to bring my boat and land it at the start of the week was the best part. Having the golf cart for convenience and sight seeing was also a plus!

Hate to give it a god review bc I don't want the secret out!!! Great spot!!
The home has custom charm but has been very well updated (extensively). Open layout was perfect, inside very nicely appointed, and outdoor views live up. Neighborhood is very quiet and communal residential feel. Can’t think of a single thing we needed - maybe a set of beach chairs would’ve been nice in the garage, but only because forgot ours at home. Easy drive to all of the splendor of the island. Manager plenty communicative but not overbearing. Just right - everything went smoothly. No hesitation in saying we would stay here again.
Doc Holiday is so special to our family. To be able to bring our boat, our fur babies, and be right on the coast we grew up on is truly a gem! This place is perfectly appointed and beautifully decorated. This was our second stay and we are already in the process of booking our third. Thank you SO much for sharing your very special home with us! :)
Such a fabulous home in an awesome neighborhood. The layout is great for hanging out and the kitchen is easy to navigate. The property manager was super accessible and made our stay smooth. Thank you!
The property was clean and spacious. The decor was beachy and very tastefully done which made the house a pleasant place to hang out in. View was nice and the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful. We loved community access to beach as well the sound side views. We enjoyed the golf cart as well. Would stay again and recommend!!!
This was a wonderful neighborhood and hoMe for our family to enjoy vacation together. The kids caught shrimp and fish off the dock and we enjoyed the short golf cart ride to the beach each day.
We had a wonderful vacation at this property! It met all of our needs for the perfect stay on the NC coast: our dogs were welcome; canal front property with dock for kayak and paddle board activities; great beach access via private parking lot with ramp to beach and showers for gear and dogs; and finally a nicely renovated, clean, single story house with sunroom, open floor plan, and deck, that is situated in a lovely, quiet, neighborhood with shade trees. Also, very convenient to restaurants and shopping.
My mom, my husband, and our three kids (ages 8, 6 and 3) enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing week at Dock Holiday. The owner was very responsive, the house was in a cute and quite neighborhood, and we loved drinking our coffee while watching fish jump in the canal every morning. We really appreciated having access to the beach across the main road, and also took the opportunity to travel to nearby destinations like Beaufort, Harkers Island, and Cape Lookout. Highly recommend renting UTVs and riding around the cape! All in all, this was a wonderful place for us to unplug and recharge.
