About this house rental
Nestled in a park like setting the The Dock House offers the best of both worlds. Quiet, comfort & privacy after a day at the beach or a night on the town. The back of the property features a screened porch (but bugs are rarely a concern) that opens to all the sounds and sights a salt water estuary can provide. Hawks, Heron, Egrets, Osprey, Pelicans, Pipers, Turkey Vultures and Woodpeckers are everyday visitors. Game such as Deer, Rabbits and Squirrels frequent the area. Visable from the dock are fish and crustaceans during the daily tidal flow. The side yard is large enough to acommadate a Bocce, Badmiton or a Croquet game. A park style barbecue is located down by the and two hammocks in the shade down by estuary to relax and unwind.
One of the worlds top 25 beaches (voted by National Geographic 2017 & Trip Advisor 2018) is located 2 miles away as the crow flies. Parking at the beach can be found for free at the main entrance area or back towards the shops. Paid parking is also available for $8 a day at the Pier. The fishing pier is privately owned and requires a $1 fee for a stroll and history read of the isle or $9 per pole for fishing. The beach is a beauty at all times. Great sun soaking, swimming, bicycling, walking or running. The sand is packed smooth and hard where water touches it. 10 degrees cooler at the beach. A stiff breeze can visit every so often at the beach, anchor your umbrella well or rent a cabana. Be sure to catch at least one sunrise and sunset from the beach breathtaking vistas. Sunset Beach Island accumulates more land mass everyday, a rarity for an island. Some of the best times to visit are late May to June or Sept. into mid Oct. But it's not unheard of to hit 75 degrees in January. Check water temp for swimming plans though.
Calabash is billed as "The SeaFood Capital of the World" starting back in the 1940's. The area usually draws a good crowd around diner time. Fresh shrimp is one of the notables for the area. Many great consignment stores in town and in surrouding area.

Dock House provided every amenity for a great visit.
10.0 / 10.0
Very comfortable house in a beautiful location. Calabash is a great little town. Easy check in, house is clean and well stocked. I could spend all day sitting on the dock.
8.0 / 10.0
Nice, quiet, safe neighborhood never felt the need to lock our vehicle whole there. House was what we expected. Clean house, well kept lawn. Hosts made checkin very easy though we thought we were at wrong address when arrived because there was vehicle in garage so we had a laugh over that. Due to wind and low tide being middle of afternoon i didnt get to fish but the pier and screened in porch offered nice realaxing atmospheres.Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

My parents live in Calabash. We stayed here so we could have some extra space for a family reunion.
The house is a rare find in this area. Lovely yard right on the water. We really enjoyed the little dock sitting area.
The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Nice big, clean fridge, Stove and oven worked well.
It was cold outside, and the heat worked well.
The sun porch is nice. And the living room and kitchen sitting areas provide lots of places to spread out and relax.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The checkin and checkout were easy. And the owner was very responsive though we did not experience any problems whatsoever.
Really good find!

The outside of the property is set next to a beautiful little river, and is quite charming. However, on the inside the home smelled musty, and when we began to open cupboards and put away our food, we were greeted with huge cockroaches we constantly had to hide our food in plastic bags or the refrigerator, the same with dishes, so they were not ran upon by roaches, the bed linens in the master bedroom smelled of body odor. I informed the owner of my displeasure of renting out a roach infested smelly property. He told me I could leave and he would refund my money. The problem with that is I had no other place to stay on such short notice. I ended up buying laundry detergent and re-washing all the bedding because it reeked even with their detergent and tried to make the best of it. I cleaned up the place better than I found it re-washed all the dishes, and even left roach traps for the next guest. The owner was kind enough to reward me by charging me $45 for not putting the garbage by the curb. I wouldn’t stay here ever again. I was constantly concerned that I might carry roaches home to my own family home. Rent at your own risk.

We had everything we needed for our vacation. My son really enjoyed the fishing. He hooked several fish and an alligator. Many memories were made. A 10 minute drive the beautiful sunset beach was perfect. We hope to book here again if ever back in the area.

Nice brick ranch home in a very quiet older and established neighborhood. I was surprised at how little traffic and people I saw during the whole trip at the home. The yard is huge. Very private and quiet. Being on the creek and having the dock is perfect for relaxing and watching the wildlife. I caught a few fish and saw a bald eagle among tons of other birds and crabs. Very close to all of the Calabash seafood restaurants and shops. I’d also recommend Gravy Southern Eatery which is very close by. You’re also only 10 minutes away from Sunset Beach and 15 from OIB. Paul was easy to work with and provided updates on anything needed. Would have no problem staying in the home again.

Truly a great experience -
Renting this house was such a great experience for me and my daughters, 12 and 14. The house and property are incredible. The best touch; the beach items and lawn games in the storage unit that Paul provides. We had so many positive experiences, nice surprises; great memories were made!

Golf stay
We wanted a single family home with a yard and privacy for a guys golf trip with access to fishing and this place didn’t disappoint other than a lack of alligator sightings
10.0 / 10.0
Fantastic!
This was the cleanest, most well-stocked rental we've ever stayed in. Also the most accurately described.
The house was spotless, and instead of mismatched, random, and often nonexistent cookware and kitchen ware, there were complete matching sets of everything, and plenty of pots and pans and other gadgetry. Plenty of towels, pillows, bedding, even shower gel and shampoo.
Fishing was pretty good.....would have been better if not for the shortage of live shrimp bait in the area lol. The yard is beautiful, the dock is great, and the neighborhood was very quiet.
We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this rental, thank you for sharing. We will be back!

Wonderful House Near The Beach!
Absolutely Awesome Brick House just a very short drive from some terrific restaurants,
gift shops, and of course, the Beach! Located
in a safe and quiet neighborhood with a great
scenic backyard view of nature and water!
Really nice large yard with lots of room on
a cozy private lot. The owner, Paul, does a
fantastic job of quick response communication
and genuinely cares that all of your questions
are answered in a fast and timely manner.
Would most definitely stay here again and
hope to do so every summer going forward
if our schedule permits. Cannot say enough
good things about this well kept and clean
property! No negatives to report whatsoever!

Dock House
This property is perfect for up to 6 people. Great location in a very quiet community, minutes from Calabash, Myrtle Beach or Wilmington NC. Very clean, well stocked house. Minutes from Sunset and Ocean Isle Beaches. Highly recommend that you check it out if interested in that area.

Calabash trip
Initial booking was a nightmare when dates somehow scheduled a year out. Property manager Paul did not contact me back until the end of the day which forced our initial cancellation. Once Paul contacted me he was great helping us re-book and get things straightened out although we lost a day in that transaction. Once arrived, another family showed up and the house was double booked for the same dates. Paul got that squared away for us and after all that we really did enjoy the house, the peaceful setting and safe neighborhood, and had a wonderful weekend as well.

Everything you need
My immediate family joined my husband and me to celebrate June birthdays. We traveled from WV, OH, and MD to be to together for a week. The town of Calabash was wonderful with its seafood restaurants and shops, especially the thrift stores. We ventured to North Myrtle for more seafood, miniature golf, an alligator adventure place, and the beach. We also went to Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle (lots of shells). When we were at the Dock House, we had everything we needed (AFTER an initial grocery & beer run at Food Lion). There was even a mixer to make a birthday cake! The house is clean, quaint, and well-stocked. We loved watching the wildlife from the backyard, dock, and screened-in porch. FYI We're not fans of the palmetto bugs. Our southern relatives informed us of these critters beforehand.

Great Location
I've rented many places and always travel with my Lysol. This home was very clean and we felt very comfortable as soon as we walked through the door. We've been vacationing in this area for several years and the location of this home was perfect for everything we had planned. Thanks for sharing your home with us Paul. Till next year!!!
