Family time
Great place to relax with short walk to beach. Plenty of space for small family or couples. Quiet but near restaurants and stores. Owners share local information and easy check-in.

Year #5 with Dock’s
Once again, Dock’s did not disappoint. This is the 5th year we have rented this home. The rental process is smooth from start to finish. The owner is wonderful to work with. For my family, Docks is our home away from home. Thank you for another relaxing & comfortable vacation. Until next year…

Another wonderful year!
We love coming to Buxton and staying at The Docks. Location is perfect. A short walk and you’re at the beach. When it’s time for a break from the sun and beach the deck is a perfect place to have some lunch and/or read a book! You can walk to get dinner and don’t forget ice cream at Uncle Eddy’s! The cottage is clean, well stocked and comfortable. Can’t wait until we are back next year!

Wonderful stay for my family of 5
House was so clean and so so close to the ocean which was perfect with three young children and the tons of toys we had to haul back and forth. We had a few days of all rain so having a nice clean house to hangout in and keep us dry was wonderful. Plenty of room. Comfy beds and couches.Two outdoor showers was very convenient. Cannot wait to stay here again and hope for better weather. Only 8 min to the nearest food lion, Dollar general right around the corner. Conners supermarket was also right around the corner and prices were surprisingly affordable! Contact with owner was very easy and friendly. Some things to note ( owners did make us aware of this!) We had to bring our own bed linens, towels for kitchen and bathroom use, paper products, trash bags) Plenty of cookware, utensils, and plates/cups. Thank you for providing a safe, comfortable, affordable place for my family. It was truly a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Richard McCray

Host profile image
Our parents bought the lot in the early fifties which began our family's visits to the island. From then until now various parts of the family have spent time there - camping, staying in cottages, doing water sports, beachcombing, and relaxing. The house was built in the seventies. Building the cottage enhanced the setting for all of us and, again, we continued to spend as much time as possible between our various responsibilities at our own widespread 'mainland' homes.
Throughout that time and to the present we have taken great pride in the house and have maintained it well. We have a local property manager who has helped maintain the house and work with guests.

Mom and dad are deceased now and Charles and I (Richard) are continuing the tradition and the standards set by our parents. We hope you consider the house in your vacation plans. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have about the house or the area.
