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 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.

If you love peaceful and quiet this is the place! Absolutely stunning views, fantastic porch and a wonderfully well kept kitchen. We love to cook together so it was awesome. Such a lovely quiet neighborhood and the beach just across the bridge. We will be back!

Favoite place to stay so far!!

The house was clean and smelled clean without chemical smells. It rained for 3 days but no big deal as we had the covered deck and fishing to occupy ourselves. Bring Skin So Soft as the no-see-ums were terrible but we expected it being on the water. The big fan on the deck helped keep the bugs away. We had our boat and the dock worked perfectly. Croakers were the main fish we caught off the deck. The kitchen had all utensils, cutlery and dishes you need, plus a large pot for seafood boils. They had a Keurig and ground coffeemaker. Spent 10 days here and didn't want to leave. Make sure to check out SmacNallys for lunch/dinner. The fish vendors along the canal were friendly and offered a large selection of fresh seafood choose from. Our host was very responsive to my numerous questions. I can't wait to stay here again. Thank you!!

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.

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!

My relax & unwind place!

This is my favorite place to get away & truly relax! The view from the deck is so calming & great for bird watching. The freshest seafood is less than a mile away. Eating oysters on the huge deck is the perfect set up. We’ve been there twice this year. Highly recommend!

Adorable house, great location!

This adorable house was perfect for our family vacation. My husband and teenage son loved the large porch on the river. I’m pretty sure they fished nonstop. We also took our boat and had plenty of room to keep it in the water at the house our whole trip. The location is perfect. Just a short boat ride out to the ICW. The house was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy and the check in process was super easy. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing this house with us.

Great fishing location

This house was an excellent choice for this older couple. Easy access to the deck which is very spacious. The house has everything you need for cooking and was very clean. Just the two of us but easily will accommodate 6 people. We would stay here again. The host was awesome with helping us navigate the trip with all the road closures due to flooding.

Relaxing, peaceful, and clean place to stay!

Can’t say enough about how happy we were with our stay here! We didn’t want to leave! Even for dinner while we were there. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available in the spacious kitchen. (Took our own Keurig since the coffee pot was for ground coffee.) Amazing water view and access! The covered deck over the water was perfect! My husband could throw out a fishing line easily any time of day by taking a few steps out the door. Close to Holden but a short drive to Southport for a day trip. We hope to stay here again next year!

PERFECT GETAWAY

We stayed at the Fishhouse for the first time in October 2017. Since then, we have stayed many times! We absolutely love everything about this home. It is always so clean and comfortable. The back deck is our favorite place to be. We have caught so many fish off of it. We love watching the sunrise in the mornings while having coffee. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook and enjoy meals. We especially loved the new shelf/cabinets in the bathrooms this time. We had never been to Varnamtown before our first visit to The Fishhouse. We feel in love with the area! We loved it so much that we moved from western NC to Varnamtown in 2019. Even though we live 2 miles from The Fishhouse, we still keep coming back!!!!! We love fishing off of that deck and we are addicted to this place!
