Clean, pretty, and peaceful

We had such a great visit to this perfect space at Lake Waccamaw! The house had everything we needed, and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the lake. We loved taking in the views from the dock and spotting the many beautiful birds along the canal. We explored Whiteville a bit, too, especially enjoying Piggypies Bakeshop! I can’t recommend Docktails Cabana highly enough!

Great first trip to the Lake!

This is a very clean classic lake cottage. The outdoor patio space is wonderful. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle board and paddle boat. House was well stocked. The only reason I gave a 3 for listing accuracy is that the second shower was being Remodeled unexpectedly after two major storms, and that was not communicated until after I rented. I feel the listing should have reflected that because I would not have rented a house with one shower. The owners were great to work with and communicated well We were watching Helene but she did thwart our trip. to

Great Experience and Excellent Accomodations

This property is a phenomenal property that appears small but actually has a lot of space, especially since the weather was good and we could utilize the outdoor areas. The place is super clean and offered everything needed for our stay. The outdoor areas are the big sell for this property and a great place to sit and socialize and relax to enjoy the lake. The hosts are super responsive and answered questions we had almost immediately. I would recommend this place to anyone to stay!

Absolutely Amazing!!!! 100 stars!!

I can’t even begin to describe how awesome this beautiful place is!! The pictures don’t do it justice. If you’re looking for a beautiful, lake front place then this is it!!! I was impressed with the view, the cleanliness of the entire place, the amenities were great… this place had everything.. they even had the pantries full of basic things, sugar, coffee, snacks, any intention you would need, they have it.. beds were comfy and so was all the furniture. The outdoor area is HUGE!! We absolutely loved being able to spend the evening under the deco or down on the water.. we were able to launch our kayaks off from the yard and had our own private pier.. it’s just gorgeous!! The effort that they have put into this place is noticeable in every aspect. Of all the rentals I’ve used thru the years, this is the best one ever!!! I give this place 100 stars and I will absolutely be using this property again in the future.. it’s EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED IN A LAKE FRONT VACATION HOME!!! Book it!!! You won’t be disappointed!!! It’s worth every penny!! I wish I could attach pics to show what an amazing place this was. Feel free to check out our gorgeous pics on my personal Facebook page as it’s public. Misty Suggs.

Amazing House with Beautiful Sunrise Setting

Stayed here five nights and WOW could not ask for a better place. Check in was easy and the lake setting amazing. Make sure to get up early to watch the sunrise. It is amazing. Also, you can be on gator patrol for the river area. It was so much fun. We used the home for our base and it was great to have breakfast and dinner each day here. We hit up Costco/grocery before checking in. There is a grocery store close by also if needed and prices were not crazy expensive. The house has everything needed to make meals. It would have been great to have a grill to cook but we made due without one. The coffee maker is a drip and we did buy filters but the owner did have some in the house also. We left what we bought for house donation. The second bathroom is tiny but it is usable. It is nice that the small bedroom and bath are in their own area. This allowed both couples to have their own private areas when getting ready each day. Plenty of towels also. The internet worked great. Had some trouble at first but doing a reboot of the router and everything was a go. Also, I have learned when I travel it is easy to bring my own Firestick/Roku and hookup to TV and then the owners internet. Doing this allows me not to have to put in all my account login/passwords .. yep bring your own and you are already logged in. The washer and dryer came in handy also. So don't worry about having to pack a lot at all.
