Great property right on the Neuse River in a neat neighborhood/community with a key west/island type vibe. Dale met us at the property, and offered solutions to parking our boats and campers. They were gracious in allowing our charitable organization to use their property to host 3 veterans in an inshore fishing camp. The house was great, and we hope to use again for the same event in the future.

Our stay at Sunrise on the Porch was wonderful. The home I was very comfortable for our family of 7. The beds slept great and we had plenty of room. The views are amazing and the property grounds are well kept. This area is so peaceful and is full of great fishing. The owners of this home are fast to respond to any questions. Dale even came out to help us catch and cook some crab caught off the dock on the property grounds. I highly recommend this home for your next vacation. We definitely plan on coming back.

Everything was great! A wonderful property, and Michelle was amazingly quick to respond to any question we had. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed fishing off the dock, and made friends with neighbors who offered advice! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and the perfect weekend getaway accomodations. We hope to return and stay again!

My family stayed in July and had a blast!! The fishing, crabbing and shrimping is excellent here. We had a seafood boil on Saturday that we only had to buy sausage, potatoes and corn for, we caught the rest! Very convenient fish cleaning table out here makes it a breeze. The house is clean and purposeful with a great deck view. The neighbors act like they are your actual neighbors, that adds to the stay most definitely. Neighbor “Billy” and “Dale” came over the first evening and gave us a lot of great information on the shrimping times and had already baited the crab pots for us. The communication with the owners was very fast and Michelle was very kind and helpful. I plan on staying here every summer now as long as they let me.

Fantastic Stay

Really enjoyed the peace and quiet of this place but at the same time being able to fish and kayak from the property really made it ideal for us. Lovely fenced in yard for the dogs made it easy to let the dogs out without having to walk them on leashes. Close to Oriental for restaurants but the house was well equipped for cooking and grilling when we wanted to stay in. Will definitely be back again!

Really special place

This is at least the 6th year we have stayed at this property. Owners are so welcoming, and do everything they can to make your time there relaxing. House is very comfortable, has everything you need and just a short drive to the ferry to morehead city/Beaufort area and quick drive to oriental !! We love going and the owners and folks in the area make you feel like you are part of their community.

Relaxing by the River

We love this property's proximity to the river. It is very relaxing way of life. The community is quiet and friendly. The host is very attentive and communicates often. We enjoyed our stay. The only complaint we had was downstairs was not as clean as it usually is but none the less we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Property and location is what I was looking for, Quiet and uneventful , and stress free. Found many things to do, civil war battlefield, fishing, aqaurium, Tryon Palace, Emerald Isle and Oriental. Almost forgot Fort Macon.

Always a Comfortable Vacation Home

We call it the Bear House in my family because of coffee table. The house has three comfortable bedrooms (2 up and 1 down) and two bathrooms. You can’t beat the view of the river. We had a crab feast with crabs we caught off the private and community docks. Billy or Michelle, checked on us daily and it felt like being welcomed to the community. We’ll be back next year!

Ac issues

The trip was awesome but the ac did not work properly and the owner only left us 1 portable ac. Other than that the place, location and trip was awesome. Just wish the ac worked or the owners would have got us a few more portable ones or gave us some sort of discount for the inconvenience.

Vacation with a Large Family

This property was perfect. Owners were wonderful. Location was beautiful. It was everything we could have wanted! The porch with the rocking chairs was screened in all the way around (including underneath!), so even with our kids leaving the door open, there weren't bugs. The owners and neighbors taught our kids to fish for crabs in the crab pots and we had fresh crab for dinner our last night there. The teens took the basement room and loved their own space. They also enjoyed the kayaks. All the kids enjoyed watching fish, birds, and dolphins off the dock. Within driving distance of a lot of really cool things.

Nice Get Away

First time staying and everything was as advertised. Perfect set up for fishing and kids. Two piers for fishing and crabbing and a nice floating dock a couple hundred yards off the Neuse river and out of the wind if it's blowing. Also it's a good place for the kids to play in shallow water. Planning on going back in September, so please leave a week open
