This is the cleanest, most well stocked and relaxing rental we have ever stayed at. Plenty to do from crabbing, fishing, padle boating, or just relaxing in the pool. End of street makes it very private with no traffic. Comfortable beds, screened porch, game room, grills for cooking. This was our second stay and still fasinated watching the osprey fishing and feeding in thier nest. We will definately rent again.

Great family vacation

The property was perfect for an extended weekend getaway with the family. We enjoyed the pool, the house, the game room in the garage and even saw some dolphins in the river. It was a great trip and I can't wait to try and book this location again in the future.

Our second stay at this property and as before it was exactly what we were looking for. Very clean. Well stocked. Beautiful sunsets every morning from the comfort of the rear screened porch. We have a boat that we launch from the property’s private ramp for fishing and playing on the water. This year we crabbed off the pier with provided crab Potts and in 2 days we had crabs for six people. In the evenings we spent most days in the garage playing pool, darts and table top shuffle board. The large pool right outside the back porch was refreshing on hot days. The owners, Shannon and Chris, who live right up the street were very responsive to anything we needed and since we had met Chris before we welcomed him to come by and visit. Highly recommend a relaxing stay at their vacation house on the Little River. We will be back.

Unwind and relax

Perfect place to get away and relax with the family. The pool and lake were the perfect place to cool off. The large fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around in. Watching the sunsets, sunrises and dolphins from the dock were just what we all needed.

Relaxing and beautiful

Our family of 5 enjoyed staying at Shannon's home. The pool was great and the amenities (kayaks, canoes, pool table) were great. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the view. Our dogs loved having such a huge fenced in yard to run in as well. They absolutely loved barking at the geese as they flew by. Be on the look out for jumping fish. I didn't know fish jumped out of the water like that and it was a sight to see. Great vacation!

Paradise Visited

The entire visit was absolutely outstanding in every aspect. The owner's are great and go out of their way to ensure that everyone is pleased. I have used VRBO for many stays and this house has been the best by far. Cleanliness is high on my list and the house was spotless. The house, amenities, pool and view is an A+++++. Hope to return next year. Thanks Shannon and Chris for what you do to make this happen!

Relaxing On The River

We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation. Caught a couple fish with the fishing gear provided. Caught a crab with one of the crab traps. Had a blast with the kayaks and canoe. We also got to watch the young eagles take their first flight! Even when it rained, the game room provided lots of fun. The property was very clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. Hosts were very easy to contact and it was a pleasure to interact with them.

This property offers all the necessary amenities-swimming pool and an extensive array of non-motorized water toys for a very peaceful and restful stay. Shannon provides all the necessary information and is very attentive to any issues that you might encounter while you're there. The property offers awesome views of the water. The hammock at the water's edge is irresistible. Your family will not be disappointed.

Cute Getaway

Cute house fit our quick getaway. This was a new area for us to explore. Home had everything we needed and expected from description and other reviews. Some things like having shade at pool, larger kitchen, and the home so close to water with screened in porch was even better than expected. Kitty Hawk was about 1 hr 20 min drive. We also visited the great dismal swamp which was very beautiful. Didn’t catch fish from house but did get lots of crabs and saw several dolphins on last day. Would recommend home to anyone visiting this area..

Great getaway for seclusion and nature

This home was just as listed and described. Great view of the river and lots of amenities. We saw dolphins swimming by on most days and enjoyed getting out on the water in their canoe. Huge yard for activities and a large clean pool were great to have. 20 minutes away from Walmart and some restaurants. 1 hour and 15 min to outer banks. Owners communicate well and were ready to see if they could improve our stay. Book with confidence!

Amazing!

We absolutely loved this place. It was exactly as pictured, so very well taken care of. The host was very kind and although we are very low maintenance and didnt need anything, she let us know she was nearby incase we did. My wife, our dog, and I all drove away knowing we will want to come back. Incase anyone is wondering about the fishing…i caught some catfish, a 4 pound largemouth bass, a couple drum 16-19”, a nearly 3 foot gar, yellow perch, bluegill, and a skate. Use shrimp and shiners!

Extended Memorial Day stay

This was the best! The cleanest place I have ever rented. They have everything. The pool had a solar cover to keep it warm. The garage was full of things to do. There was tons of stuff for all ages. We slept great while there. Sun rises were beautiful. We caught plenty of fish from the dock for dinner but we brought our boat and launched it right there and caught plenty of fish to bring home. I can’t say enough great things about this home and the owners. The welcome basket of goodies was above and beyond. We will be back!

Most relaxing vacation in years

Amazing vacation at this rental can’t say enough good things. Rental was spotless and provided everything - and I mean everything you could possibly want/need. The pool was amazing for cooling off and relaxing, the cove was great for fishing and bird watching( Great Blue Heron and Osprey), the dock was amazing for dolphin watching and sunrises. There was something for all family members to do separately and together. We spent 1 day to drive over to beach and the rest of the vacation we spent enjoying the rental. The game area came in very handy as we had rain/t storms on several nights. The welcome basket was unbelievably thoughtful and greatly appreciated - as everyone was tired after driving all day and the last thing we wanted to do was go to grocery store . Overall a fantastic vacation and can’t wait to come back next year.
