About this property
3 BR waterfront river home; spectacular views
Kick back & relax in this calm, stylish space. Enjoy your stay at this newly renovated home (2021) complete with state of the art fire pit, private dock, large enclosed sunroom & full wrap around porch. A short 10 minute drive to the sailing capital of NC for dining, shopping & live music at the local brewery & Red Rooster makes for a great night out after abundant fishing right off the dock. Or cook a full meal in the fully stocked kitchen & eat at the large farmhouse dining table.

About the host
Hosted by Beth May
We purchased this property in 2021 & completely redid everything. It was a labor of love, & our family has thoroughly enjoyed this piece of Heaven on earth. Situated on 250 feet of water front property on the Neuse River (aptly meaning “peace”), you’ll find this place to be both incredibly quiet at times, & roaring with river life during others. We hope your stay will be as enjoyable as ours are!
Why they chose this property
This is a rural river community with only 10 homes. Everyone knows everyone, so you’ll be safe & sound. Expect to see some wildlife since you’re right on the river (lots of birds, river dolphins, otters, possibly a weasel sighting, some little critters outside here & there). Please be courteous to our neighbors by keeping noise to a minimum after 10pm.
We love the sandy river bottom & swim frequently off the dock. At its deepest it is 5 feet, but the beachy area on the property allows for little children to play at the waters edge. We do suggest bringing water shoes, & there is an occasional rock here or there.
