About this property

A charming 4-bedroom waterfront with a private dock retreat that offers a secluded serene getaway!

Named after the stunning creek just off the intercoastal it sits on, Whiskey Creek is a charming 4-bedroom waterfront retreat that offers a secluded serene getaway for girl/bro’s trips, family reunions, or time alone to enjoy the water views and Live Oak tree in the wind. The home sits nestled amongst live and water oaks tucked away to relax in your own little world.

Disclaimer: Swimming, standing, or wadding in the water near or around the house/dock is forbidding.

Whiskey Creek has proven to be a picturesque venue for intimate weddings and events. Events, weddings, gatherings come with an additional contract and special event fee of at least $1,500 on top of a normal nightly fee depending on special requests and size of party.

As for pets, Yes! We are a pet friendly rental. Please inquire when you book your reservation regarding your specific animals. The pet fee is $300 per pet. There is a maximum of 2 pets allowed during the rental term, unless there is a written authorization from Owner.

This property is a 25-minute drive to Wrightsville Beach where you can find world class surfing, local events and concerts, the Wrightsville Beach Municipal Park, fresh seafood, and a vibrant nightlife. Carolina Beach is a 20-minute drive from the house and is famous for shopping on the boardwalk, the North Carolina Aquarium, Fort Fisher State Park, and sumptuous dining.

Bring or rent a boat, paddle boards or kayaks and launch them at the nearby neighborhood boat ramp and leave them on the dock for the week for easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway or Masonboro Island! The large backyard with the looming Live Oak Tree overlooks the peaceful creek making it the perfect place to spend any seasonal nights with friends and family. Build a fire in the Solo Stove and enjoy the beautiful days or nights reminiscing on memories while making smores. This beautiful lot provides plenty of space to create more memorable times together.

If you rent or bring your own boat or water crafts (ie jet ski) there will be a $500 dock fee with a maximum of 2 water crafts allowed. We will also need proof of insurance for each water craft.

At the heart of this property, you’ll find an open family/kitchen space that benefits by gorgeous natural light flowing in from the massive sliding windowed doors that fill the walls. To one side, a large couch faces a sizable flat-screen TV, while behind that is a dining area that offers seating for eight. Adjacent, is a large kitchen with all the necessities needed to prepare meals throughout the week. There is ample countertop space on the breakfast bar and which provides bar stool seating for six. Not only is the main living space a prime location for taking in the stunning marsh view, the room over from it holds an open entertainment space and features a foosball table, arcade games, a fireplace, flat-screen TV, and sliding glass doors that open up to the backyard deck. There is a sleeping nook beside the window with one twin-sized bed. An additional sleeping area can be found off of the game room with one twin-sized bed. These two sleeping spaces are not private, as they do not have doors that can be shut off from the rest of the house.

Perfect Location for our Retreat

We hosted our company retreat at the Whiskey Creek House in late August. It was clean, had plenty of parking and the beautiful backyard gave us plenty of space to play and enjoy the view. We hope to book it again in the future! Amy and Heidi were great to work with and go above and beyond for their guests. Book this house and you won't regret it!

A fairy tale house and host

This was one of the best houses I have ever stayed in with the most responsive host. She recommended so many activities to our group and was always a text away. The house photos are amazing but the house in real life is breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone on this trip asked for the rental property link and said they will be booking it in the future. Can’t wait to come back!

Wedding weekend of our DREAMS

The we spent at Whiskey Creek was beyond what we could have ever imagined. We held an intimate, 40-person wedding on the property and this gorgeous home was the PERFECT setting. The live oak was the most stunning backdrop for our ceremony and the house itself left our guests in awe. Only my husband and I actually slept in the house because we have huge families, but any time people convened at the house, everyone felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend renting this home for any quite, peaceful time with family, but ESPECIALLY for a wedding!!!!

Whiskey Creek 5star

The home was beautiful with great water views. Perfect place for my family and I to gather and enjoy some time away together. The owner was very helpful and responsive. I was initially apprehensive and anxious about being contacted outside of the app but took a chance and went with it after verifying with VRBO customer service. The owner was super friendly, offered suggestions on local restaurants and attractions. Responded to questions immediately. I will definitely return, this place was amazing!!!

Incredible home and beautiful serene setting!

This home is just magical!! Everything is beautifully decorated and there is SO much space! Large windows in the main living area to enjoy the scenic back yard with an impressive live oak that is hundreds of years old. We loved sitting on the swing under the tree taking in the gorgeous scenery by the water. The home is well equipped with comfy beds and luxury linens and towels. Heidi is a wonderful communicator and so responsive, making sure we had all the information we needed and making great recommendations about the area. Our favorite place we’ve ever rented in the Wilmington area! Our family hopes to return again soon!
