WaterWinds Waterfront pvt house/dock pet friendly!

OrestesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great stay. Waterfront location was great! Awesome kitchen and comfortable beds. Not much close by but we enjoyed going to Elizabeth City to eat out and for coffee shops. The house and its waterfront location was exactly what we were looking for and really enjoyed our time there. Thank you!

Waterfront paradise w/ large outdoor living area

ParkerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Probably the best air bnb for a group I’ve ever stayed in. Very well maintained with enough space and amenities for friends and family. Stocked with anything you could need, and it’s on a lake! The hosts were incredibly friendly and very responsive. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Sweet Retreat

AnneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed our stay so much at this quaint cottage, it was the perfect space for my family of 3. The large open living space was so comfortable. We spent most of our time outside on the water as the weather was beautiful! It was the perfect cozy home to enjoy for a weekend away. We will be back!

Unique Barn on an organic farm

SylviaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Kevin & Linda are wonderful humans and a pleasure to meet and get to know. Hurricane Helene rolled in during our stay, and despite being limited by circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Kevin and Linda were gracious hosts and extremely accommodating. Kevin’s woodworking details at the property were beautiful, giving it a unique feel. The garden, grounds, and nature felt like a sanctuary, providing us with true disconnection. We wouldn’t change a thing and will definitely be coming back soon!

Panoramic Lakefront Oasis at Hyco Pointe

KathleenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Beautiful home with stunning views of Hyco Lake. Honestly the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor living. Our family loved the covered dock with seating which allowed us to watch our 11 yr old and her friend kayak and paddleboard around the lake. We made smores at the firepit and watched the sunset. The inside of the home is comfortable and Kathyrn has provided all you could really think of. Just a great stay and wonderful hosts who were super responsive when needed. Highly recommend!!!

Sarah's Studio Apt, 5 min walk to the Lake!

LyndaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Sarah's Place is so peaceful and quiet, even with the owners upstairs. They practice radical hospitality and everything was just as described. The communication was great. I had an unexpected change in my arrival date (day late) and they offered late checkout or extra day. I also left a charger there and they are mailing to me. So hospitable and kind. The only drawback (not for me but for those with mobility issues) would be the path from the car to apartment and the distance to Stuart Auditorium. It was good for me as it helped me get in more steps for the day. This place is very clean, the hosts are wonderful and I will visit again I am sure.

Peaceful high rock lake front cottage !

GabriellaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My husband and 9 month old son had a wonderful stay at Christy’s! I had a blast kayaking the lake. The kayak was sturdier than some other ones I’ve tried. We loved that it was super private and homey. Our son loved playing with the many toys and coloring activities that were there. The hot tub was superb at night and very relaxing. Traveling with an infant isn’t always easy but we felt right at home here. I only wish we had more time to stay!

Lakeview Cottage-Amazing Views in Badin Shores

TiffanyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This home is super cute and was perfect for our stay! It had everything we needed and the setting was exactly as we expected from the photos. We liked the gated entry to the neighborhood and it was well lit throughout. The covered porch was wonderful! Tons of space and comfortable seating. And James was very responsive and proactive when I missed a message he sent. He’s an excellent host and this is a property we would definitely visit again!
