DOCKTAILS CABANA! 10 steps from the water. HUGE outdoor space!

**October 2024, we replaced all flooring throughout the house due to Hurricane damage. There is one stand-up shower that we are in the process of replacing. There is another full bathroom that is fully functional, Plus the other bathroom has two working sinks and a working toilet. The only thing that is under construction is the stand-up shower. **
This tranquil lake house offers serenity with its proximity to the water, complete with a private dock and plenty of outdoor seating. The flat top grill beckons for lakeside barbeques, while a hammock invites relaxation. The clean and comforatble interior ensures a peaceful retreat, complemented by an array of lake toys for added enjoyment.

The canal is right across the street from Docktails Cabana and the sights and sound of the water and nature are completly relaxing. You can often see different types of cranes and other birds, snapping turtles, and the occasional aligator, especially in the hot summer months. Nature is abundant at Lake Waccamaw!

The nearest restaurant is Dale's Seafood just 2 miles away. A 5 minute drive away is the nearest shopping center that has a small (very friendly!) grocery store called Hills and a few other restaurants and stores.

**Kitchen has new appliances: an airfryer, toaster oven, oven/electric stovetop, stainless microwave, stainless refrigerator, drip coffee maker. Large sink, but no dishwasher.**

**Fur-babies are welcome at Docktails, but you must keep your pet on a leash and respect our lakeside neighbors and their personal space.**

Docktails is Wonderful!
Docktails exceeded our expectations! Beautiful view from the back 'porch' area and quiet neighborhood. The house is well stocked and clean. We plan to come back to Lake Waccamaw and will MOST CERTAINLY stay at Docktails when we do. Wonderful vacation spot!

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.

Cutest Little Getaway
My friends and I were in town for a wedding and just needed a place close to stay! This was an easy 20 minute drive to the venue that became our little oasis. The beautiful scenery in the morning, topped it all off!
