The house was the same one I remember from twice before.only the furniture in the living room was changed to new. And the kitchen is more modernized.its still an old farm house with charm.the walls are wearing peeling paint but it sure didn't deter us from our stay.we had a great time there.memories is what's it's about.and Marlin the owner was very responsive to my questions.this is the only house I stay in when we go to lake waccamaw.its plenty of space for everyone in your group to stretch out or spend it on the dock that's private for that one house. Only thing needed is more outlets downstairs for your phone needs lol the upstairs room with new king bed.it is like laying on a cloud lol I slept so good.lol
