We do not allow parties and events at our home. Neighbors complained that people were loud...cars were parked in the yard. We had to ask our housekeeper to perform additional cleaning after your group left.

A home away from home

It was everything you could ask for in a vacation home. We had everything we needed and the host was very accommodating. We fell in love with the screened in front porch. This will be one of our highlights of the year.

Perfect weekend

The house is gorgeous, walking distance to all things Oriental. Kitchen is well stocked, comfortable living spaces for relaxing and socializing, beds are fabulous, screened in front porch was a wonderful gathering place for morning coffee. The host was so easy to communicate with and gracious beyond words. 5 adult women had a perfect weekend.

Gem!

This home is a gem! The location was great. Our family of seven enjoyed a weekend of luminaries, flotilla, parade, food, and shopping. We walked everywhere we went! Watched the sunset over the water too! Would love to return!

Awesome location

This older home was perfect for our family with 3 kids. Great location one block from the beach, one block from a park, and a few blocks from the shops on the main drag. The upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling, a known problem the owners were working on fixing, but we were fine using the other shower. We will definitely be back.

Weekend with family

We had a wonderful experience staying here with family for the weekend. We have 3 kids (4, 6, and 9), and my parents joined us too. The kids shared a room and each had their own bed, with a bathroom just next door. The 2 living areas made it easy to spread out when we wanted to. We loved the proximity to the little beach, park, and town dock. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful Historical House that is a Great Place to Stay!

This house is great! It is spacious, peaceful, and homey. The photos and description of what to expect are very accurate. It has a great, historical vibe that makes you feel right at home. The bedrooms are very large and comfortable. The kitchen is very functional and has most everything you need to cook meals. We also used their gas grill that worked well for our purposes. We really loved this place and highly recommend it. We will try to rent it again in the future.

Peaceful Thanksgiving

We stayed here for several days over Thanksgiving. The house was clean, comfortable and charming in that quirky way that old houses are. We loved just sitting around chatting in the living room and walking down the road to the coffee shop and along the waterfront. It was too cold to sit on the front porch but that is a great feature I’m sure in warmer weather.My 89 year old mom said her bed was really comfortable and she slept well 😊This house has obviously been a special place to many people and has such a positive energy. My nieces loved hanging out together in the big bedroom upstairs with the 3 beds.We will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Oriental again!

Ideal middle-aged-girls’ trip weekend stay

There were 5 of us ages 60-70. The house was perfectly comfortable for us and could easily have accommodated two more. The two of us who didn’t care for stairs could use the downstairs bedroom and bath. The short walk to “downtown” Oriental was just right and the owner’s recommendations for eateries and shopping were spot on.
