Screened porch, with view of big water, perfect spot for that morning coffee, either around the porch table or on the porch swing. Short walk to park, shopping and restaurants. Swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating, kayaking, and more at your front door. Located next to the River Forest Manor and Marina. Watch the big boats coming in for the night off the Intracoastal Waterway. And the sunsets are amazing!
Note: Between the home and the water/dock is a quiet residential street , Water Street
The Space
This 1910 style Farmhouse, located on the waterfront in historic Belhaven, NC is the perfect Haven for guests.

Open concept kitchen and dining area with room for all at the table. Water views from every room. Peaceful and serene.

Other things to note
Highly recommend bringing "water shoes" as the swimming will be in the river.

On the property Sits a very old structure that was once used as a Chicken Coop. Now inside the "Coop" you will find games and chairs for your pleasure, including Croquette, Bocce Ball, Horse Shoes, Chairs for the dock, Noodles and more.

Also, please be aware that the kayaks being stored in the back yard are NOT for Guests. There is a kayak rental company in Washington, River Vibe, that will even bring the kayaks to you. Also Dowry Creek Marina, located close by, rents kayaks .

What a picture perfect home and location. We brought our boat and tied up to the personal dock. Great time on the water. Nothing beats parking your car for the weekend and walking to everything we wanted to do. The house itself is stocked with everything you need to feel at home. Fully stocked kitchen and every bedroom had its own charm and comfort. Donna (Host) is very fast with communication and so helpful. Every room had cute special instructions to help out. Remote control access, where to put decorative throw pillows and all the things you need to shower and dry your hair. Can not say enough great things about it. Highly recommend.
Beautiful View

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The home was exactly as described in the listing, very clean, and comfortably furnished, with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee pods, fresh eggs, milk and other nice touches. The beds were comfortable, and common areas gave us plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time together. Beautiful views of the river from the chairs across the street and access to the well maintained dock.Check‑in and check‑out were simple, and communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. Any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly, and it was obvious that the owners take pride in keeping the place well maintained. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, but we were still just a short drive or walk from restaurants downtown. Highlights for us were nice little touches of everything you would expect in a Bed & Breakfast. Parking was convenient and Wi‑Fi worked reliably.Overall, we would happily stay here again and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, well‑kept vacation rental in the area. Thank you for a great stay!

This property was everything I had hoped for! A very lovely and spacious home, with many amenities. We were in Belhaven for a family funeral; however, we were able to relax (especially in the Adirondack chairs on the waterfront)! The host was extremely easy to work with and promptly answered all of my questions very calmly! We would definitely stay at the Haven again!

Simply The Best

Absolutely the best place we have ever stayed with VRBO. From the moment we entered the house, we knew we were going to experience something very special. Every detail was taken care of. Our family had such a great time chatting on the porch, fishing, crabbing, and eating in the large dining room. We hope to be back again.

Christmas Joy

The home was "So Clean" and also decorated tastefully for the holidays! The Children were thrilled with the beautiful Christmas tree. The beds were very comfortable and great accommodations for 2 families with 5 children! The kitchen was great but the dining room table was even better, room for all! It was a wonderful Christmas at The Haven!! Thank you for being such fantastic hosts!

Groom Family’s Retreat

The Haven provided a perfect setting for my family the weekend of my son’s wedding at River Forest Manor. We booked the home because of its proximity to the Manor, and that feature was priceless! The charm of the house, the screen porch, the dock, and the chairs by the water provided perfect places to relax and talk with family and friends during the day. We loved the town and the people. Our host communicated with us regularly and made us feel welcomed in The Haven and in Belhaven.
