About this property

Cozy Waterfront Home near Holden Beach! Dock for boat with dock for fishing 2BR

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 sell 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 Intracoastal 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 boat ramp. There is however a fee to use this boat Lauch. 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. *Please note that we are in a coastal community with hurricanes being a threat from 6/1 thru 11/30. Peak months mid August thru mid October with September being the most active month. We have a no refund policy 14 days out. We encourage you to purchase travel insurance to cover you in the event of any weather related conditions that will prevent you from experiencing your stay at our home. We do not allow guests at our property when a hurricane watch has been issued with a mandatory evacuation for coastal and low lying areas. This is for the safety of our guests and the need for us to secure our property. If a hurricane watch develops during your stay you may be required to leave. We do stress that you purchase travel insurance because no refunds or credits will be issued.

We absolutely love the Fish House! We have stayed numerous times over the last couple of years. The house and deck itself gives you plenty of room to enjoy! We love to fish and crab so it's perfect for us. The kitchen is awesome and great for our family dinners. We brought the boat this trip and had plenty of parking for the trailer and truck. We hope to return soon!

We absolutely loved this rental and will definitely be back soon. Great place for fishing, we caught flounder, lots of croaker, and trout. We saw dolphins 2 of the days we were there. The house had everything we possibly needed. Great location, not a far drive to the beach. By far, one of our favorite places we have stayed!
