Cozy Waterfront Home! 2BR/2BA Large covered deck*fishing dock*floating boat dock
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.

My husband and I went along with our 2 grown sons and wife. We loved the deck, the boating dock, the peacefulness and the location. Very quiet neighborhood and not far at all to the beach attractions. We will be back. Thankyou
Nice place to stay. Pretty much anything needed is on hand. Well stocked with the basics and more. Highlight of the stay was the deck and the fishing opportunities it provides. There are large fish here of all types all within casting distance. Planning to return as soon as practical.
Best place ever ! We Always catch plenty of fish and always have a Good Time with our family & friends ;) We love the Fish House and will be back as long as you allow us too
Just needed a couple days out of the office so this place is the most awesome place I’ve ever found! Close to town for food and we caught fish till I was exhausted! Perfect stay every time and already booked again for this summer!
Amazing place and amazing location. The back porch and dock was were we spent most of our time if we weren’t on the boat. You could watch dolphins, fish and just enjoy the beautiful sunset right from the back door. Definitely will be back.
This is our third year here and never are we disappointed. We stayed finally when it was warm and it was an amazing experience. Forever our favorite place.
This is the 4th year renting here for father/ son trip. Stay was just as great as the first year and always clean and wonderful communication by host. Look forward to coming back next year!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The home was very clean & well maintained. Communication with the owner was efficient & friendly. 10/10 experience & location! We’d absolutely stay here again.
My husband and I have been admiring the Fish House for 3 years,but never found a time in our schedule to rent due to different commitments. We had a wonderful get-away to enjoy the Fish House with friends and family. Great time of fishing and enjoying the opportunities within the community. We definitely look forward to another visit to the Fish House!
Cozy and comfortable cabin, felt like home. Perfect family vacation! We had our boat docked at the house for easy trips on Lockwood Folly and the ICW. The porch overlooking Lockwood Folly was wonderful. We enjoyed family time and fishing and cookouts.
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!
Home is always spotless. The views from the deck are beautiful. Fishing is also great. Always quiet and just a short distance to Holden Beach and Shallotte.
Our family enjoyed this home so much. We caught Croaker and Black drum and enjoyed being together . The view everyday was so refreshing and an absolute amazing break away from the everyday hustle & bustle. We will be back as long as they will have us :)
