"We had an amazing time! The condo was absolutely gorgeous. We loved the view of the sound, the pool and the quiet atmosphere. We will definitely be back."
River and Refuge Retreat!!!!Cozy 2-bedroom cottage in delightful Columbia NC
10/10 Excellent
"This property is a hidden gem. We used it as our base for a short trip to OBX. Columbia is a peaceful town with a lovely boardwalk along the Scuppernong River and this home is located within walking distance of the small main street and boardwalk. Coming from the triangle area, it was nice to have a shorter drive to get to our accommodations coming down and to be ahead of the OBX return traffic coming home. Plus, it's so much more affordable than staying right on the coast. The house itself was great for our family. There is a small loft area with a bean bag chair (which isn't pictured clearly in the photos) and it was a big hit with my teen. He'd climb the ladder and have a bit of privacy at the end of the day to chat with friends. If we decide to vacation in the area again, we'd definitely book it again."
"Very relaxing week. Porch was our favorite spot. Watching the storms roll in was really amazing. Great fishing off of dock. Quiet location. House has lots of charm. Enjoyed our time there."
Beautiful sunsets, Cypress trees and Spanish moss retreat
10/10 Excellent
"Quaint home with everything you could need. Our family of 8 plus our dog thoroughly enjoyed our week, swimming, kayaking, fishing, and overall relaxing. We planned our days out to hit everything we wanted to do as it is about 45 minutes to some of the main attractions. You are pretty secluded which was perfect for us."
East of Edenton! Romantic sunset waterfront getaway on the Albemarle Sound!
10/10 Excellent
"The house was wonderful, right on the Abermarle Sound , with the Chowan River as one of its tributaries. So if you’re a fisherman like me, this spot is incredible for catfish, skate and crabs galore. I caught some of the biggest crabs I’ve ever seen in my life, and I’ve been crabbing 50 years. Almost all of the neighbors were enjoying life on the water, fishing, swimming or just watching the incredible sunset every night . The house itself was perfect, clean , and had everything a vacationer could possibly need. The owners are incredibly kind and responsive. The bathroom is beautiful and the washer/dryer look brand new and are a lot nicer than the ones I have at home. The town of Edenton is a short drive ( 7 minutes) away and it is a lovely town with some very nice places to shop, walk around and enjoy a meal. If you came across this house and the dates you want are available, grab it, you will absolutely love it and want to come back year after year."
"“Blown Away” was a great place to stay and accommodated my family of four plus my sister-in-law and her two daughters. The view was awesome and it was so nice to sit on the dock and swim and watch the water. There were a couple minimal issues but the owner went out of her way to quickly alleviate them. We had the transformer to the house go out during our stay and the owner was quick to get the city electric company out to handle it. The house is off the beaten path but well worth the peace and quiet."
