We’ve stayed there twice now and both times had a great stay! Using the kayaks was great or just floating in the water. Emerald Isle and Swansboro aren’t far away with beaches, restaurants and shops.
Overall wonderful experience staying in the cottage in Pelletier. Thank you to Diane and Ron for making such a wonderful place available for people to use. We do look forward to returning to the cottage in the future.
What better way to wind down the busy holiday season than with a stay at this peaceful retreat! Located at the end of a gravel road in a rural enclave, this property has a quiet private feeling, although the owner is next door in case anything is amiss. Our stay was seamless: Communication was clear, the cabin was adorable, and supplies were stocked with everything from bandaids to a cocktail shaker. Oh, and did I mention the killer views? Couldn't ask for more. Thank you!

Thank you for the amazing review and happy New Year!
Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even more impressive in person than in the listing photos. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—from the comfortable furnishings to the charming pottery coffee cups that made each morning feel special, and the overall cozy atmosphere that made it easy to relax.One of the highlights was the stunning water landscape. The views were absolutely beautiful and created such a peaceful, calming backdrop throughout our stay. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the setting was truly unforgettable.The location was perfect with a tranquil setting…close to Swansboro and Emerald Isle, minutes from Lowe’s Foods but far enough out for quiet moments and limited light pollution Communication with the host was seamless; they were responsive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making our stay comfortable.This was easily one of the best vacation rental experiences we’ve had. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quaint get away.
