Cozy Waterfront Home! 2BR/2BA Large covered deck*fishing dock*floating boat dock

WiFi internet available! Family friendly and perfect for Fishing & Boating - 4 miles from Holden Beach by car and about 3 miles by boat. This recently renovated house was originally a shrimp house for local fisherman to sale and process their catch. It's now a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a large living/dining/kitchen area. Because of the history of the shrimp house this home is one of the only homes that actually sits on the bank of the Lockwood Folly River. Spacious covered back deck over the water with a uncovered dock on the front that is perfect for fishing. There is also a connected floating dock for your use. Please note that property has 3 additional docks and a boat lift but are NOT part of the VRBO. The Fish House is centrally located between historic Wilmington, NC and exciting Myrtle Beach, SC.

Sleeps 6 with one queen bed in the master bedroom (which overlooks the river), one queen bed and twin bunk beds in the second bedroom. It has a large farm style dining table with additional seating at a large central bar. Windows line the living room wall so that you can enjoy the bird watching, dolphin swimming, and sunrises all from the comfort of the couch!

Bring your fishing pole or your boat as the Fish House is located on the Lockwood Folly River about a mile and a half from the Inter Coastal Waterway. The Lockwood Folly Inlet is situated between Oak Island and Holden Beach and has direct access to the Atlantic Ocean! The Fish House has a large parking area if you do bring a boat and is only a half of a mile from a free public boat ramp. There is also a fish cleaning station and outdoor shower right off the floating boat dock!

Please be aware that there are three piers down from the floating dock that are used by the owners of the property, they can be seen in the pictures. These three piers and boat lift are private and are not part of the VRBO. We ask that all guests limit their usage to the one floating dock. The owners occasionally park on the far edge of the lot away from the house and access their boat by the steps in the side yard. This is far enough away from the house that it should not be disruptive. There are also two cameras on this property for security measures, one on the parking lot and one on the piers.

My relax & unwind place!
This is my favorite place to get away & truly relax! The view from the deck is so calming & great for bird watching. The freshest seafood is less than a mile away. Eating oysters on the huge deck is the perfect set up. We’ve been there twice this year. Highly recommend!

Great fishing location
This house was an excellent choice for this older couple. Easy access to the deck which is very spacious. The house has everything you need for cooking and was very clean. Just the two of us but easily will accommodate 6 people. We would stay here again. The host was awesome with helping us navigate the trip with all the road closures due to flooding.

Cozy and comfortable cabin, felt like home. Perfect family vacation! We had our boat docked at the house for easy trips on Lockwood Folly and the ICW. The porch overlooking Lockwood Folly was wonderful. We enjoyed family time and fishing and cookouts.

Relaxing, peaceful, and clean place to stay!
Can’t say enough about how happy we were with our stay here! We didn’t want to leave! Even for dinner while we were there. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available in the spacious kitchen. (Took our own Keurig since the coffee pot was for ground coffee.) Amazing water view and access! The covered deck over the water was perfect! My husband could throw out a fishing line easily any time of day by taking a few steps out the door. Close to Holden but a short drive to Southport for a day trip. We hope to stay here again next year!

A Grateful Find
Love the Fish House! Neat and clean, seashore on the Lockwood Folly River. Peaceful retreat to just chill and a fun place to wet a line from the dock or bring your boat and head out to the Intracostal Waterway to fish or cruise.

We enjoyed our getaway for the weekend. Just my mom and I enjoyed the serenity of peace and quiet. Not my first time, but my mom was so happy and delighted with the place. We have scheduled a stay over Father’s Day and looking forward to fishing!

Beautiful, Peaceful & Comfy View
My family and I really enjoyed this cozy home on Lockwood Folly. The fact that its right in between holden and south port, not too far to go do something out of the house for a few. Loved that my boys enjoyed staying up late night fishing off the dock/pier. My favorite is seeing the dolphins pass through. Definitely would stay again!
