Perfect for our family.

The size and location was perfect for our family. We needed a large place for family to stay for my son‘s wedding. The master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my mother-in-law who cannot do stairs. I would highly recommend the space for family gatherings.

Nice layout, beautiful views

The property was impressive and definitely looked even more spacious and luxurious in person than in the photos. We were pleasantly surprised. The layout of the home made for ample space to gather as a family and retreat to private areas for less chaotic downtime. The internet was quite fast, no problems there.

Great location for a multi-family getaway

We had an incredible stay at this VRBO! The location was absolutely ideal—peaceful, scenic, and just steps from the water. The property itself is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it perfect for multiple families traveling together. Everyone had room to spread out, relax, and enjoy their own space while still feeling connected.What really stood out was how generous and well-prepared the host was. They provided an amazing array of water gear—lifejackets, kayaks, and plenty of other fun items to enjoy the lake. Honestly, there was more to do than we could fit into a week! It felt like every day brought a new adventure, and the kids (and adults!) were never bored.This home is clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. We left feeling refreshed, connected, and already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend for families looking to make lasting memories together!

Amazing weekend on the Albemarle Sound!

We had a wonderful family weekend at the Parr's waterfront home! We kayaked, made s'mores, played ping-pong and basketball and ladders in the driveway, and all around had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and spacious, a perfect setting for time together. Hope to be back again!

Absolutely Wonderful Stay

Had an early 60th BDay celebration with a small group of friends and we were all so very pleased with this property. Several have stayed in other short term rentals and said by far this was the cleanest, most accurately described. It is well equipped for fun with games, books, pool table, paddle boards, kayaks, floats… so many amenities provided that we weren’t even expecting to ensure guests have a great stay. We brought a boat which really added to our ability to add fun water recreation. The views from the porch and several rooms are fantastic!! The host was so easy to work with. After a bad lightening storm took out the internet overnight, she let me know before we even noticed. Really just a top notch experience for our long weekend away. Will be back, for sure!

Golf buddies weekend

8 golfing friends stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. Very comfortable for a group to relax and enjoy their time off the course. Having the ability to use a boat to ferry us across the waterway to the golf course was unique and very special. Would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Parr

Host profile image
After searching for a place to share with our family and friends, we built this house in 2005 spending countless weekends and vacation weeks here at our home away in Hertford, NC enjoying the amazing surroundings. We discovered early that this was a special place and began calling it Parradise (spelling is purposeful, see our family name). Set on a point of land with 180 degrees of water views Parradise has incredible sunrises and sunsets, brackish waters that warm early in the year allowed all types of watersports, excellent fishing and crabbing. (Please see our photos). Toys galore will leave you with never a moment that there is not something to do, if you want. You will find a perfect balance here allowing you to play hard and relax as much as you desire. Look through all we have to offer below and our photos above to see how our Parradise can become your paradise.

Why they chose this property

We have spent 16 years making this an amazing place to spend down time. We are looking forward to sharing this amazing place with others.
