Holiday rentals with a kayak in Cape Fear River

Absolutely loved the space. The dock was our favorite thing. We used it from sunrise to sunset. It was great for watching the local wildlife first thing in the morning while enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. The short walk to the beach was so convenient. The place was clean and felt very welcoming. We all loved it.

We loved the hammock house! It was so peaceful and beautiful. It was also very convenient to be able to walk to the beach easily and there were amazing restaurants and plenty to do nearby. We will be back!

Staying at Anthony’s was like stepping back to a more gracious time ( with all the modern conveniences) . Sitting on the front porch for morning coffee & afternoon tea , looking through the trees draped in Spanish moss , was a rare gentle & civilized ‘ southern treat ‘ for all of us. Many thanks!

The home was in a great location, just a short walk to the beach access. It was well-stocked with plenty of beach supplies, which our group of 8 really appreciated. Having an EV charger available was also a huge plus. The house had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. Brian was very responsive and provided helpful information ahead of our trip.

We had a great stay a Nick’s place! Close walk to both the beach and the bay. A comfortable stay for my family with two young kids and my parents. Would definitely stay again!

Five Stars All the Way! We had the most incredible stay at Vaycash on Bald Head Island! From the moment we walked in, it felt less like a rental and more like staying at a dear friend’s beautiful home. Stef has thought of everything—the home is gorgeously decorated, full of charm, and stocked with more amenities than any place we've ever stayed. This was hands-down the most above-and-beyond experience we’ve ever had with an Airbnb. Every detail was thoughtfully done—from the fully equipped kitchen (a dream to cook in!) to the peaceful, tucked-away location in the woods that gave us the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The golf cart made exploring the island a breeze, and the kids were thrilled with the bikes and kayaks. Stef’s generosity and attention to detail made this getaway truly special—we didn’t want to leave! We can’t recommend Vaycash highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit.

The place was perfect in every aspect: The location, size, accommodations, amenities, and proximity to the areas we frequented. For our tennis group, the total cost was less than what a hotel would have cost, which is historically where we used to stay. This experience, summarized by our ability to share one place, travel together, have meals together, watch TV together, and have the large space to spread out was absolutely fantastic. The experience was positive any which way you look at it. On top of that, Jana (and her husband) were super hosts with super friendly communication. We wish we had the opportunity to meet them in person, but..............maybe this time next year :-).

Laura’s house was so peaceful and quiet! I’ll start with what’s important to me: A/C is AMAZING and kept us comfortable the whole time, bathroom attached to one bedroom and other 2 bedrooms share one, everything we needed was available to us here. I’ve never been to a lake this quiet before. There wasn’t party boats blaring music and speeding by, just pure tranquility. If you’re coming to Lake Waccamaw, this is the place to stay! Not one complaint from our family!

This lake house was just perfect! From beginning to end, the stay was awesome. The house has everything you could possibly want or need. We looooved the outdoor space! Beautiful deck with lots of sitting room, lights, and fans. The hot tub was so awesome! Super nice fire pit area. A nice dock extending into deep lake water. We visited several local towns around the lake and were blown away with how friendly everyone was. We got all of our groceries at Perry’s Produce, a local produce stand; including meats and even butter and coffee creamer. We went to a vineyard nearby, and Morrow Mountain Stare Park for a beautiful hike with breathtaking views of the mountains. The area and the beautiful, cozy house with lots of amenities made this lake vacation one of the best we’ve had!

Beautiful, Cozy little cottage. The small touches made it feel like a home away from home. Very comfortable, and very straight forward. Was visiting for family in the area and will likely book again when we are back in the area.

Steve and Hannah’s home was perfect for a family get away. The house was cozy and had beautiful sunrise and sunset views!

We had a great week at the beach staying at Sue’s house! The house was the perfect size for our family of four. It was just a short walk to a public beach access. We also enjoyed kayaking in the creeks behind the house, watching the beautiful sunsets on the back deck, and grilling and eating in the awesome area under the house. Sue was very responsive whenever we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at the cottage. The cottage is so cute. I loved the breakfast nook and have already told Sharlene that I need her to come decorate my house! The house was exceptionally clean and accommodating. It was a nice home away from home. Sharlene was quick to respond and friendly. I would 100% recommend the cottage.

Currie and Elizabeth are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed a peaceful week. My niece and nephews loved watching the animals and our walk out to the pond to see the fish. I would stay here again when in the area.

Beautiful, clean home and bug-free, which was really important to me in such a humid area. We enjoyed the views from the deck right outside our bedrooms and spent lots of time drinking cocktails in the big screened-in porch. We also loved the little bar area with ice machine. Only thing to keep in mind is if you bring a boat, you can’t tie it to their dock, and the boat ramp is small and not easy to get in and out of. Everything else was great. Frederick is an awesome host, always responsive and accommodating with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this place for a summer getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at Lake Waccamaw! The home was spotless when we arrived, and the location right on the lake was absolutely beautiful. We loved having access to the kayaks and took full advantage of them during our stay. The grill and all the included accessories made it easy to enjoy meals outdoors. Communication with Mr. Sam was excellent he reached out the day before to provide all the information we needed and let me know I could call him anytime if anything came up. His hospitality really stood out and made our stay even better. We would definitely book again for a future trip to Lake Waccamaw. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, lakefront getaway!

Very friendly, informative and easy to communicate with. Cabin was clean and just what we needed. Will book again when in the area!

Kelly’s place is in a beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay & felt comfortable there. Really enjoyed the screen porch dining area looking at the lake. Would recommend. If you are going on the Ancient Cypress Tours it’s a great location to stay, only about 25 minutes away.

Nice little cabin with just what you need to be comfortable during your stay.

The listing was stunning and everything we hoped for. The host was also wonderful and responded very quickly when we had questions. Space was very clean and beautiful. Will absolutely return one day.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at The Cozy Heron. The wagon had the perfect amount of room for my family of three. The beds were super comfy and kept nicely clean. The temperature control was perfect for the warmer day and cooler night. We enjoyed grilling with the provided Blackstone flat top propane grill while looking out at the river. They provided all the necessary grilling tools,oils and even disposable plates. We appreciate the hand sanitize readily available by the grill as well to keep everyone mindful of their hands while glamping. The bathrooms look small on the outside but have all the needed amenities to feel clean and refreshed including plush clean towels,shampoo/conditioner and body wash. We liked that the bathrooms even had their own temperature control to keep your restroom experience enjoyable while glamping. We highly recommend a family stay at The Cozy Heron.

Gorgeous cabin, high end finishes, more amenities than expected. Please take care of this beautiful home, the host and property are top tier. Amazing stay.

If you've ever wanted to stay in a covered wagon, or if you enjoy glamping, this is a great place to stay! It was raining the first two days of our five-day stay, which made it difficult to get out and enjoy the outdoors; the wagon was super cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Heat and AC worked well and is efficient. The wagons have electricity and usb outlets for easily charging electronics. We brought our projector and watched movies, on the wagon canvas. Wifi and cell phone signal was great. There's a shared fire pit area, with hammocks and a blackstone grill - bring your own wood or be prepared to pay $8 a bundle (plus tax). The only downfall is the walk to the bathhouse (which is also shared with other guests, but immaculate!); the field is well-lit at night, but still a little intimidating. Megan was a great host; she texted every day and was informative about the property and weather conditions. Follow their rules (read them all) and you'll surely enjoy your stay

The accommodations were quaint and the property was peaceful and lovely. Our stay was comfortable and perfect for our needs. Hosts were nice and very responsive in their communication. Sparrows Nest is convenient to grocery stores, fuel stations, and a great Mexican restaurant and pizza place! I only wish we had more time to explore the mill pond and make use of the amenities including the kayaks; we stayed here where it was convenient to boating access to join a special group for a PWC trip on the Cape Fear River. It was overall a very nice weekend celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary! Memories made! We will recommend this place to others and will book again in the future.
