We had a wonderful time on our vacation. We spent quite a bit of time on the screened in porch. The views were awesome and the whole vibe is very relaxing. I took my boat and enjoyed the ease of using it every day with only a short walk to the dock and not a drive to the ramp. We will certainly look to stay here again next trip.
The listing is exactly as pictured and very clean. We really enjoyed the house and all it has. Jessica and Kalie were great and always easy to reach with questions. I would happily stay here again.
This Vrbo is so peaceful and beautiful. The house was very clean and everything you need is available for an enjoyable stay. The restaurants nearby were extremely nice with excellent food. The people around the town are so friendly and hospitable.
Wonderful peaceful property with excellent water access. This is our second stay here and everyone agrees that we’ll be back again next year!!

Weekend getaway
We had a wonderful time at Tranquil waters. The house is beautiful as is the view. Check in was super efficient and seamless. House was impeccable. Highly recommend.
This is our third time staying at Tranquil Waters. It was just as lovely this time as it has been the other two times. We will likely find our way back here again in the future.
Lovely home. Perfectly situated on the river. Had 2 great days of kayaking, beautiful boats, homes and wildlife. A kayak launch would be perfect! Plan on returning again.
Beautiful home with a gorgeous view. A perfect location for peace and quiet, rest and relaxation. And our kids loved it too! They stayed entertained with kayaks, fishing, and biking. If it was summer, they would have been swimming too.
Tranquil Waters is a fantastic property. Well equipped, spacious and so well located. Having Kayaks was the reason we chose this place and the waters around the property are ideal for lazy kayaking whilst watching the ospreys fly over and the fish jumping. The town of Oriental is a delight. Highly recommend.
The actual locale was beautiful! But finding it was a little bit tedious, as the GPS told us to stop at the end of the pathway that led to the actual house. And that made it confusing when coming in during the night, but we all managed to make it to our destination. There was obvious smell in the house, but it was clean and very nice. And the AC didn’t cool like it should, especially upstairs. The inside temperature stayed around 75 degrees even though we set the thermostat to 70. But we enjoyed ourselves regardless. The house is situated on the water and has a pier for fishing. And we certainly took advantage of that. We even used one of the kayaks that were in the garage. We really did enjoy our stay! Thank you!
Property was better than the pictures. We caught some fairly large fish off the dock. There is no cell signal at the house, or for several square miles. The WiFi worked well and was fine for Voip . I have a Google Voice number which worked perfect as did daughters IPhone. If you are relying on your cell instead of a real GPS make sure you download the maps off line or it will stop working. Perfect weather not humid and one light rain day. I would recommend getting to the house when there is daylight. It is a bit in the sticks and with no cell coverage it would really be not fun getting stuck somewhere. I would not hesitate to book again.
The property was even better in person. The view is amazing! Just what we needed while we were visiting friends for Thanksgiving. I'd love to stay again. My only criticism is that it was a bit difficult to find. My husband actually went to the wrong house and tried to get in!!! That could have ended very badly! It would have helped if we'd been warned that it was tucked away off of a gravel road (happy surprise) and that the entry road way was easy to drive past. The sign is rather small and low to the ground and I looked right over the top of it. Otherwise, everything was perfect!
The property was great and wonderful location. You can fish off the dock and take the kayaks out. The house is very nice and kitchen had everything you needed. We’d definitely recommend statying here!!
I can't begin to tell you how much we loved staying in this property. It was absolutely perfect. Location, amenities, neighborhood, etc. We could have easily moved into this place permanently.
It was exceptionally clean, was in a very quiet neighborhood and was the best place to relax for just the two of us and our dog. As much as we loved to tool around the area, two days we actually went nowhere - we just stayed "home." We hung out on the porch, played ball with the dog in the yard and enjoyed the views on the water. Every morning we watched the fishermen pick up their crab traps.
Beth Frazer and Associates were a pleasure to work with and made the entire process totally stress free. Their local restaurant recommendations were spot on.
One quick thing. If you want to go grocery shopping while there, don't discount the very small Piggly Wiggly in Oriental. That store had a very large selection for its unassuming looks.
We will be returning to this property. We absolutely loved it.
We really enjoyed our stay. Private lot right on the water with boat dock, and nicely appointed house. If you’re looking to fish the Neuse, this is a great place!
Great property in a semi secluded location. House was clean and well appointed, dock was great for parking our boat for the weekend. My only critique is the driveway. We brought a rather large trailer to tow our boat and it was difficult to maneuver once down the drive. Other than that great stay and we would definitely stay here again
I was not surprised walking into this house as it was as advertised. It was my husband's birthday and it was a great place to celebrate with our older children. Everyone has something to do. We fished, kayaked, laid on the hammock and played games. Wish we could of stayed a little longer.
Tranquil Waters is an ideal name for this property! The house was immaculate. The view over the river was beautiful. We had such a quiet, relaxing stay!
What an amazing property! We absolutely loved everything about our stay here. We were able to keep the boat in the water for our entire trip which made getting to and from the fishing grounds that much easier. The views are spectacular and the house was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
