About this property

Pet friendly, Gently sloping lot, large dock, Quiet cove, Great swimming!

Our cleaning service is OSHA certified for COVID-19 cleaning.

There is a nightly charge for pets. Be sure to check the box on your reservation.

NEW for 2022! Provided will be all sheets, 2 towels and a face cloth per person (8 persons), and two kitchen towels.

Please note: Due to cleaning schedules our cottage rents from Sunday to Sunday in season. Also, please note, due to extra sanitation measures in cleaning between guests our cleaning service has asked for extra time. Therefore we ask that you not expect to check-in before 3:00 PM. If you arrive earlier you may use the dock until the cleaners are finished.
New enlarged dock.
Our cottage is furnished to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The media package is highlighted by a 60 inch flat screen HD TV, DVR, stereo and WIFI internet.
The ranch-style cottage features a great room with a living room, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances (the oven is not full-size) and a gorgeous view of the lake. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen exit onto a deck with lake views, table and chairs, and a gas grill. The living room has a gas stove.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, 55 inch TV, and private master bath with a large ceramic tile shower. The second bedroom also has a queen bed, tv, with a large closet and full bath in the hall. The third bedroom has two sets of bunks and a large closet. The cottage is equipped with a washer and dryer.

A large screened porch on the lake side of the house has ceiling fans and gives 180 degrees of lake view.
There is a large dock, with an attached floater for swimming and canoe/kayak launching. You may tie-up your boat to the dock. We supply a canoe, a kayak, paddles, and life jackets (please use at your own risk). Please avoid dragging the canoe over the rocks but rather launch it from the dock, so that the bottom is not damaged. There is a fire pit/ring (you may use any wood you find on our property or bundles can be purchased at the nearby White House Market).
Swimming off our lake-front is ideal, with clear, calm, water and minimal interference from waves; making it fun for younger children and adults. You are permitted to fish off our dock. Kids love catching the sunfish on worms.

Beautiful Relaxing Stay

The property was perfect! The home was clean and had everything we needed. We took full advantage of the beautiful dock and spent most of our time there or in the lake! Would highly recommend this property for your next stay at SML!

Great Getaway

Property was in a good location and in good condition. As with all VRBOs it was obviously well used. Dock was awesome for our 23 ft boat. Ramp at Virginia Dare is a bit neglected but close by.Hosts were very responsive in terms of providing information, although we had no other issues. Property and area also dog friendly for walking. Deer in the yard every evening and hanging on the dock was very cool. Awesome wind chimes in the back yard. We arrived at the conclusion of a tropical storm which left the front yard and gravel driveway spongy requiring fwd to get out, but under normal conditions there should be no issues. Adequate room for three couples. Washer and dryer a bit grungy but they worked. Screened in porch was really nice. A/C and heat were good. Would recommend this property. Had a good time.

Great Getaway by the Lake

My second visit to this cozy cove cottage and loved it again. My Portuguese water dog and his buddy were in dog heaven. Kayaking was fun and the peacefulness in the cove was relaxing. House is well equipped with everything you need and comfortable. Screened in porch is the best place to be! Hope to return!

Great vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We spent a lot of time at the dock. There is plenty of shade and sun if you want it. Location is in a fairly private cove, so you can swim without worrying about boat traffic. Kitchen is very well stocked which we appreciated because we cooked most of our meals while there. We enjoyed the new gas grill. It’s about a 15 minute drive to Food Lion. The beds are comfy. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and we took long walks every morning without having to worry about traffic. Deer in the yard every night- and sometimes in the daytime.

Getting away from it all!

My husband, myself and our pooch enjoyed several days here. It was perfect for us...tucked away in a quiet cove, plenty of yard for our dog, a wonderful screened in porch, a beautiful dock where you could choose to sit in the sun or the shade. (Bonus points!) The house was comfy and had everything we needed. The master bed was super comfy. And it was an easy drive to multiple restaurants. The owners were very responsive when I had questions about the area. We loved it and hope to return.

Great location on the lake

What a great place! I can’t say enough about this little place. The dock and yard get sun both in the morning and in the evening. Relatively flat yard so no going up and down a million steps or a pathway like some of the homes at the lake. It was off season so I can’t speak to boat traffic during summer months but those that were out and about during my stay honored the no wake zone. The dock has a shaded area as well as floating doc and plenty of room to sit and hang your legs off With washing machine and driver. Coffee maker and full sized fridge , Gas grill and dish washer. Everything you could ask for is available - The hosts were easy to contact and super accommodating when my dates changed. Everything was exactly as described. I definitely recommend

Warm and cozy cottage with a huge yard with an easily accessible dock, which is fantastic. The screened porch is perfect for just sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Communication with the owners was fantastic, which I appreciated immensely. We found everything to be as in the listing. No complaints, loved it.

Fantastic place esp if u like fishing or boating

We loved this rental! Many homes on SML have a steep hill to navigate to get to the boat dock but this one was very close and manageable. Our fishermen loved it! Nice floating dock, power at the dock. Lots of nicely placed chairs on dock and backyard including fire pit. The screened porch was wonderful! We rented during cool weather but in the summer it would be very shady. The house was well laid out - nicely equipped kitchen, gas grill on the deck worked fine. Master bath very nice tiled shower! Would suggest instructions for tv remotes (we figured it out) and toaster oven. Heat and ac worked fine and hot water was great! Location near Va Dare Marina ideal and on a quiet street. Bonus - u don’t have to drop off your trash on Raeford Church Rd there’s a container at end of driveway! Would def rent again
