1 of 2 homes rented for the family

My 3 adult daughters and their spouses/significant others stayed here for a family funeral. Found it to be exactly as described online. Location is fantastic and allowed everyone to walk to everything Edenton has to offer. Beautiful old home that feels like Edenton. Would definitely rent again. Owners were easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Enjoy Edenton from here!

Quiet Family Time

We were so blessed to find Robert's Rest for our family visit to town. This was our family's first time in North Carolina and the home gave us space, privacy and the quiet we needed. Very thankful for a kitchen to use for our family meals as well as the walkability to town. We would recommend Robert's Rest to anyone!

Convenient, comfortable, and charming!

We recently stayed at Roberts rest and found the property to be very clean, stocked with everything one might need, and it was a very comfortable place to spend a few days with friends. We enjoyed walkable access to downtown Edenton and the waterfront. We had a few questions along the way, and our hosts were very responsive. I recommend this property to others traveling to Edenton.
