We had the best stay! It truly felt like a home away from home so comfortable and welcoming. We loved spending the 4th of July on the water, and it made for such a memorable weekend. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

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!

A Must Rent!

My family very much enjoyed their stay at Docktails Cabana. The space was clean, the views of the lake were unmatched, and the entire process was so easy and convenient for us. Highly recommend this listing and will be sharing with others who are looking for a bit of peace alongside beautiful Lake Waccamaw.
