Perfect stay!

I have been using Vrbo properties for about five years. This is by far been the most enjoyable stay I have ever had. The house was very clean and had everything you needed for a Perfect stay. The property was at the end of the road which provided great privacy. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Great Getaway!

We were in town for a family wedding and stayed a couple extra days. The house was perfect, clean, and had everything we needed and more. We had fun driving the golf cart around the neighborhood, hitting golf balls, playing corn hole and enjoying the spectacular view. Overall fantastic stay! Thank you for sharing your home!!

Peaceful is an understatement.

This was the most restful vacation ever. If you stay on the property, plan to stay ON the property. It has the most beautiful location and perfect spots for morning coffee and evening tea. It's close enough to the ocean to make that trip in an hour and a half, but we didn't feel the need to leave the property very often. We hope to book it for the same time next year.

WATERFRONT OASIS

Beautiful property and home, sparkling clean and meticulously maintained. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed in the kitchen - utensils, cookware, condiments and seasonings! Plenty of clean towels, comfortable furniture, everything was great. Lots to do in Elizabeth City, but we Spent much of our time on the dock, catching crabs and enjoying the lovely sunsets. Host was very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Peaceful stay

The view was amazing. The house was VERY well stocked and clean. The golf cart was a neat addition. Our kids enjoyed riding on it. Would have been a great spot to fish but we ran out of time. Great house for family fun. So much yard space.

Really lives up to its name. It was peaceful and beautiful. We loved riding the golf cart and going fishing. Perfect to let two little boys get their energy out and explore in nature.

This home is better than the pictures

This was such a peaceful and relaxing week for us. The house is great with everything you can think of, plus lots of indoor and outdoor games. The golf cart was so fun to take cruise around the little neighborhood. The house was clean; beds comfortable; kitchen is well stocked, and we loved the sun room. I can only say good things about this place, and it really is nicer than the pictures. Also great sunset views.

Relaxing Getaway

You must try this gem out if you are looking to just get away from the world for a while. The water is great for swimming, wading, and kayaking! The house is super clean and welcoming. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. If you forget anything during your stay, there is a little country store about 10 minutes away. The ladies that work there are wonderful and helpful! We will definitely love to come back and see all the new things that will be included in the stay next year.!

Just what we were looking for!

Peaceful on the Albermarle Sound is exactly that, peaceful. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle- watching an occasional boat go by, saw a bald eagle and a family of dolphins. We enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing on the Sound. The house is situated in a very quiet neighborhood right on the Sound. The house had everything we needed and more, including a fully stocked kitchen, fishing poles, golf cart, life jackets and a canoe. The owners were very responsive. I can’t say enough great things about this place. Thank you for sharing your home! Wonderful home!

GREAT LOCATION AND GREAT TIME!

The property was very clean and well kept, fully stocked with the essentials you could need. And there is nothing else to say about the property other than absolutely great. The views are wonderful and very peaceful place to just kick back and relax with no hustle and bustle or stress. Caught way too many crab to even count and a day trip to the OBX is perfect. You have something you should be very proud of, loved the entire stay and everything about it especially the sunsets, outstanding!
