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.

We enjoyed our stay very much. There are a few FYIs that we think are important for potential renters to know:1. There is no natural grass for a dog. There is a small patch of turf only. The grass you see in the photos is the neighbor's grass. Important to know if your dog is picky about where they go potty. You can also cross the street and there is a small strip of grass along the swamp area but it is right on the road.2. Comfortable outdoor seating is limited. It's mostly hard wood seating, aside from the tall chairs under the overhang.3. We did notice a few bugs in the house but that is completely normal for waterfont living.We were happy with the stay, the quiet and peaceful location, the host communication and the amenities/water toys.

Great Experience and Excellent Accomodations

This property is a phenomenal property that appears small but actually has a lot of space, especially since the weather was good and we could utilize the outdoor areas. The place is super clean and offered everything needed for our stay. The outdoor areas are the big sell for this property and a great place to sit and socialize and relax to enjoy the lake. The hosts are super responsive and answered questions we had almost immediately. I would recommend this place to anyone to stay!
