Relaxing space

The view of the marina and boats along with the water was relaxing after long days at work. It was nice to go home to a comfortable space verses a hotel room. Nice porch with a nice view.

Winning Location

The keyless entry was convenient, as we arrived much later than expected due to work. The neighbor's very friendly dog was a nice welcome, as was the neighbor. Lovely view of the docks, water and sailboats. We were privileged enough to watch an Osprey family

Perfect getaway

Of all the places we could have stayed in our first time at Oriental this one was perfect. The upstairs apartment was a great place to bird watch (we wished we'd brought our binoculars!) and take in the water view. The place was extremely clean and well stocked, even with sugar for our coffee. The only confusing thing was finding the door which happens to be from the same porch as the lower level apartment. Otherwise, wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place right on the water

My son and I spent the weekend here and used this place as our home base to do some kayak fishing. Great place and they have their own dock which made fishing super easy. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely Waterfront Property in the Village of Oriental

We were very pleased with the property and will definitely stay here again when we return to Oriental. The location was great; it is an easy walk or bike ride to the restaurants, coffee shop and brewery. The owners of the property were very friendly, and we felt very welcome.

Always Wonderful ~ Never Disappoints

This little gem is our go to getaway. Always peaceful, clean and comfortable. You’ll want for nothing except a longer stay. Bed, bath and kitchen, all well appointed. The view is beautiful … sunrises, ospreys, boats quietly coming and going … all from a private covered deck. We’ll be back …

Lovely, comfortable stay

This is a wonderful apartment in quaint Oriental. The space is exactly as described and pictured — very nicely furnished and decorated. It is a perfect spot for a couple. The covered porch overlooking the water is outstanding! We were in Oriental for a outdoor music festival, and when rain sent us back to the apartment we were comfortable spending the afternoon relaxing and reading. Highly recommended.
