Beautiful location for a quiet getaway. The photos on VRBO don’t do it justice, it’s so quaint and cozy. The beds are comfy, the house was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. William was a friendly and communicative host and the check-in and checkout were dead simple.10/10, we would definitely come back.

The house was well supplied with everything you need. The river view is beautiful. The bedroom next to the porch could use a headboard, or a protective board across the windows behind the bed. We had a great time there.

William was a wonderful host! Communication was great! The home had a lot of character, and it was close to downtown. We were able to bring our fur babies too which was so nice! The back porch had a great view of the water and was so relaxing.

Beautiful back porch which we enjoyed both morning and evening. We were able to grill our fresh seafood. Our dogs loved the backyard to run and the back porch, as well. We were able to walk the neighborhood and take in the historic homes.

William was a great host. The house is super quiet and quaint. We loved that we could have the dogs with us and the yard is a great size to play ball with them and let them run around. The river and pond are perfect for fishing and downtown is walkable. Super cute restaurants on main street.

Great location! Quiet, Comfortable

The Sterling House was very comfortable, clean & quiet. Easy location to find, nicely located for access to the area’s sights. We visited the area for a wedding over in Moorehead City, NC Aquarium on the coast. The visit, the wedding, the people we met were some of the kindest of folks.. Nice to visit a small town with that small town feeling. Great time, great place, can’t wait to visit again.

Charming Coastal cottage!

The house was in a great location, very walkable and within walking distance of town and the boardwalk along the river, and it was very cozy and charming. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and the owner was very responsive and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
