Lakeside Retreat With Panoramic Views Like No Other

Our lakeside home is the perfect vacation spot for families. A bright spacious family room gives visitors a space to hang out, play games, or read. An extra table in the family room is the perfect spot for card games or extra seating at mealtime. A wall of windows allows for maximum sunlight and plenty of lake views. The kitchen has both a bar with seating for three and a dining area with a table for six. The bedrooms are spacious and living areas give plenty of room to spread out. The house sits on two lots and boasts a spacious backyard with a beautiful shade tree. There's plenty of room for the kids to play tag and the adults to sit and enjoy the lake or play a game of corn hole. Free wi-fi, a full kitchen, washer/ dryer, and a pier for sunning will be all your family needs to enjoy a quiet vacation in a homey atmosphere. There are also 4 kayaks for house guests. Lake Waccamaw is the perfect place to "get away" for a quiet retreat, and a change of scenery.

Not Bad, but not Great.
This is an older place that those who own it can't afford to do much to make it better. The view of the lake is incredible. The sunrise is beautiful. Putting a twin bed in the house foyer and describing it as a 4th bedroom is ridiculous. Cobwebs in the corners of the back bedroom must indicate how little it gets used. Calling, texting, and sending notes on the VRBO app asking for the code to check in is also ridiculous. I called and got the voicemail is full. I got the check-in code at 7:59pm. At that point, I was wondering where I would sleep tonight. The place was not clean. It does have good wifi.

Rustic Relaxing Retreat
We arrived on property a few days after a tropical storm hit the area. We booked the house to stay w/ family & friends for our daughter's wedding that Saturday. We were surprised to find the grounds flooded & no paved parking or sidewalks! We had to remove shoes, walk thru squishy mud & wipe feet in house. Repeat each time we went to car or house! Not great for events where you are wearing formal clothes! My parents had to leave & find another VRBO as it was too messy for them. Also, only 2 bathrooms & 1 did not have an outlet. With ladies needing to get ready for a wedding, not good. If you book the property, know that it is very rustic. I didn't dislike it. I liked the relaxing environment & amazing views. It was comfortable & clean. It was close to town & the alligators were mesmerizing. I gave the property an overall 4 rating because it is was it is advertised to be. I just wish I had known about the no driveway/sidewalk issue. Additionally, I wish the dock had seating on it. We would take towels out to the dock to sit on while we watched the sunrise. I will add that the owner was extremely quick to respond.

Family Long Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunny Side Up! Missy was more the great to work with and very accommodating. We hosted our son’s 1st birthday party in the backyard and when your family has more kids than adults this is the perfect setting! Swimming, yard games & grilling out made for a relaxed and fun weekend. The lake is shallow which is perfect for kids & adults who want to play baseball in the lake. The house was spacious, wi-fi great & the kitchen was equipped well. Missy even left some kid friendly snacks & juice pouches! We will return every year if able. Highly recommend for a family fun week/weekend.

Simple and quite
This is an older home that has much character. One thing we especially liked is its view of the back yard, lakeshore and dock are unobstructed so we could watch the kids from anywhere in the common areas of the house. The price was very reasonable and we had a pleasant experience.

Not quite a "retreat"
This property is way oversold in the listing and way over priced for what you get. It is very old and it is run down. I am sure many happy memories have been made there, but it should be listed as an older, well used property. We had to go life jackets as the ones there were so old and torn. The floor slopes so badly it made my Aunt's vertigo act up. There were torn screens, cobwebs, and dust. It is really only two bedrooms. There is a twin loft bed immediately when you walk into the house and one of the rooms doesn't have a real door. Bath towels were hard to find and there were almost no little amenities if you needed something just to tide you over until you could get to a store. Figuring out what switches did what, even with the labels was a huge challenge. Again, if the property had been a little more forth coming in the listing, I don't think it would have left as bad an impression. If you are looking for an older, well loved and used home, this is perfect. If you are looking for a lovely lake retreat, keep looking.

A great stay for a quick trip!
This quaint little lake house was just the get away we needed on Veteran's Day weekend while we checked in on some property. I booked this home after reading the reviews and still feel it was a good choice. There was plenty of room for everyone (7 total). It was cold and wet outside so we didn't get much use of the property and pier but the views while lunching on shrimp chowder, sipping cocoa and coffee and just enjoying our time was amazing! We had some small issues to contend with however, our host was quick to respond and went out of her way to try and make it better. All in all, I'm sure we will return. As for the details, here are a few to make your stay enjoyable. 1. Clorox wipes should always be in your bag. 2. Expect water bugs by the water. 3. It's an older home with older home charms. Set your expectations accordingly. 4. If something goes wrong, contact the host. They are more than happy to address any concerns. 5. There is great wi-fi but try to make time to just enjoy the views and each other.

Not as expected; Disappointed; Only 3 bedrooms not 4
Overall, disappointing. The listing states that there are 4 bedrooms. That is false. There are only 3 bedrooms. One bedroom is actually the foyer and the playroom and it cannot be closed off from the living room. They have blinds attached to one wall to "separate" it from the living room. Not cool if you are expecting/need an actual 4th bedroom. Additionally, not all of the lights in the house were in working order and several of the ceiling lights did not work or had burned out lightbulbs in them. Although there were extra lightbulbs in the kitchen, we did not have a ladder nor do we believe it should be the renter's job to get up on a ladder and replace the ceiling lightbulbs. Also, the ceiling fan in the master bedroom made a lot of noise; definitely could not sleep with it on. It was a good location, clean, and appeared to have a pretty well stocked kitchen, although we did not cook any meals while there. Overall, it was disappointing. We would not rent there again.

The property met all our needs and was totally adequate for our purposes. There were 7 of us. We were able to easily schedule bathroom times for showers so only two bathrooms was not a problem, and we prepared food but with such a great porch and backyard we always ate outside. Part of the house is old and dated but not a serious problem. The slab floor in the older part is interesting.

READ before booking pleeeeeease!
Let me just start of by saying that from booking I understood this property was old and not updated by all means BUT that has Nothing g to do with cleanliness! This house was DIRTY. I am talking cob webs everywhere, food crumbs everywhere, dead bugs all over.. hair from previous renters… linens smelled like body musk, kitchen was dirty and pots and pans and utensils were all dirty… . It was bad. When we arrived and saw this, I immediately called owner and she was very quick to respond but was surprised that the house was dirty. She said she never had this issue and that the last time the house had any guest was a few months ago… and that’s the last time the house had been cleaned. In my opinion and if I was in her shoes and I knew I had guest coming I would have the house cleaned!!!!!!!! I do have to say that the owner did send the cleaning lady to see the house but when she arrived all she said was that she cleaned and did her job and there was nothing else she could do. She offered Lysol for me to spray on the linens….. LOL!!! Then I called the owner and she offered to refund us 2 nights for the dirty house. By the time it was time for bed we noticed there was NO hot water… oh my god. NO hot water in January!!!!! We tried everything and couldn’t fix it… So again called the owner and she said her parents had went to turn the hot water off so the pipes wouldn’t freeze a few months ago.. (she failed to inform us of this before check in) she also said they had put antifreeze in toilets so the water wouldn’t freeze (what in the world???) she said she would call the plumber in the morning… so that night we had no hot water and had to boil some water for the kids to take a bath. The plumber did not show up till after 3pm… Thankfully he was able to fix it but he did say the way the lines and wires are in the front of the house was weird and dangerous… also all the beds were SUPER loud and old… this house definitely needs some maintenance and DEEP cleaning!!! These are just things a paying guest should not have to worry about. Period. The rest of our stay was just ugh. We had to stick it out because we came from Puerto Rico and my family came from New York and Raleigh and we had no where to go… the only up side was the out side… loved it!!!! The kayaking and the swing was nice! We did enjoy that and the fire pit! The house was awful and could not recommend.
