About this property

Lake Waccamaw cottage steps from rare, sandy waterfront and shady cypress trees.

Escape the stress of everyday life and unwind on the peaceful shores of Lake Waccamaw. This charming lakeside cottage offers the perfect blend of cozy lake-house charm and relaxing waterfront living, making it ideal for families, couples, or friends looking for a quiet getaway.

Known as the largest natural lake between Maine and Florida, Lake Waccamaw is loved for its calm waters, sandy-bottom shoreline, and laid-back atmosphere. Spend your mornings watching the sunrise across the lake with a cup of coffee in hand, afternoons swimming, floating, kayaking, or fishing, and evenings relaxing as the sky reflects across the water.

The cottage features 3 comfortable bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living and dining areas, washer and dryer, and beautiful lake views throughout the property. Guests also have access to a pier with both covered and open areas perfect for relaxing, reading, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Families especially love the grassy yard and shallow sandy shoreline, while nature lovers can enjoy spotting herons, osprey, ducks, turtles, and even bald eagles nearby. At night, relax under the stars as fireflies light up the yard and the quiet sounds of the lake create the perfect ending to the day.

Conveniently located about 35 minutes from I-95, the cottage is also within driving distance of Wilmington, Southport, Fort Fisher and Myrtle Beach for easy day trips.

Whether you are looking for boating adventures, family memories, or simply a slower pace of life, this Lake Waccamaw cottage is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

About the host

Host profile image
We have loved Lake Waccamaw all of our lives. As children we spent summers here swimming, fishing, and making memories with family and friends. As a young married couple we bought our first lake property, and in 2002 we made Lake Waccamaw our permanent home.

We have owned The Cottage since 2001 and have enjoyed welcoming guests since then. One of our greatest joys is sharing this special place with others and helping families create memories of their own.

We love the peaceful pace of life here-the beautiful sunrises, the sandy shoreline, the abundant wildlife, and the simple pleasure of spending time outside. Whether you are her to relax on the porch, watch the birds, play in the water or reconnect with family and friends, we hope you'll come to love Lake Waccamaw as much as we do.

Our home is right next door if you need anything during your stay but we are equally as happy to give you all the privacy you want to enjoy your getaway.
