Cozy Waterfront Home! 2BR\/2BA Large covered deck*fishing dock*floating boat dock
About this house rental
Located in Varnamtown, this charming house for $395 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. 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 sale 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 Inter Coastal 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 free public boat ramp. 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.

My family has stayed here on several occasions. The weather was frigid, but we still caught fish and had a fantastic stay. One thing has been consistent with the Fish House and that is cleanliness. We are already booked for a stay in June, and I am sure that our visit will be as enjoyable as the rest.

Man this place was amazing. Great area quite not far from the beach. The back deck was amazing plenty of shade and space. The thing that i loved the most was being right there on the water and being able to fish with ease!!!! Only thing wrong is was not being able to stay longer. I will most definitely be back soon!!!!

We actually own a vacation house in Varnamtown but rented this because it has always been my husband’s dream house. As an avid fisherman he appreciated the ease of docking his boat and having it for several successful fishing trips. It was perfect. So thankful we will always have these memories of celebrating his birthday here. The house was comfortable and I had no complaints. One of the highlights for me was sitting outside on the large covered deck over the water and listening to….complete silence. No cars, airplanes, boats, wind, nothing. Except, after a while, I could hear the quiet popping/fizz sound from the oysters below deck. It was a unique moment for me as one who cherishes the simple things in life.

The house is very cute. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the wildlife, and hearing the fish jump. It’s a quiet place, out of the way from everyone while still being close enough to hit the beach for a day or do some shopping. Highly recommend!

The house was clean and very well thought out. The kitchen was very well stocked. The deck is amazing and incredibly quiet. Furniture is clean and comfortable. My only suggestion for future renters is to be prepared for no closets. But if you’re looking for a peaceful place to unwind and fish, this is definitely it.

We enjoyed our time at the Fish House! The house was well appointed and the extra large covered deck was great for relaxing. Our son enjoyed the fishing from the dock. The close proximity to the beach and grocery store was appreciated. Highly recommend!

We picked this home for three reasons: 1. We love to fish and you can’t beat fishing right off your own deck! 2. We love the ocean! And 3. We don’t love crowds and traffic.
This house met all our needs. We could wake up to the sunrise, eat breakfast and fish until we wanted to go to the beach. Then it was maybe 10 minutes (if that) to drive to the beach! Once tired of that, we were lucky enough to escape to our private, quiet getaway where we fished again until bedtime. The lights on the deck were charming and the attention to detail was impressive (a freezer for stinky bait, plenty of hoses, fish cleaning areas, and even an aquarium air pump to keep live bait kickin!). I would be remissed if I failed to mention the industrial size fan on the deck that kept both the bugs away and saved us from the sweltering heat! The kitchen was well stocked and organized! We can’t wait to come back!

The family and I really enjoyed the Fish House! Great centralized location to travel to multiple beaches and other sites during our vacation. Very secluded for a peaceful getaway and a perfect spot to catch a beautiful sunrise. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks!

This is a beautiful property with a spectacular view, sunrises are breathtaking. We had a boat with us to fish as well as golf at the local courses. We had a couple of minor issues pop up and the owners were very responsive, a delight to deal with. This is a place we will defiantly be booking again.

Property was extremely clean and has most everything you'd need for a vacation stay. Dock is huge with deep water even during low tide. Drive to Holden beach is just quick and easy. Definitely recommend staying here.

House was clean with plenty of room for 6 adults. There was everything you would need to cook with (pots, pans, Crockpot, grill, gas cooker etc.). We loved the outside covered porch and deck to fish off of. We caught plenty of little fish during the day and at night 7- 10 we caught big drum when the tide went out.
Very pretty and relaxing property!!!
