My family had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was extremely clean and looked just like the photos. The host was very responsive. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and the beds were very comfortable. This was the best location. We would love to stay there again.

What a lovely place for a nice lakeside stay. The kids loved the kayaks and SUP. Fantastic outdoor porch. Was sad that we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit. Would have been great for smores. Highly recommend this property. Had a wonderful time. Thanks for making this a great stay!

This was our 2nd time staying here and it did not disappoint. Close enough to attractions and stores, but it feels like your far away due to the peaceful and serene setting. Very relaxing trip in a beautiful home, the house has everything you need for a relaxing comfortable vacation.

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!
