About this property

Vacation home on the Albemarle Sound

Do you want to watch beautiful sunrises in the morning over the water? This home is for you. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunroom or sitting on the pier. Take a swim in the sound or fish from the dock. Have your own boat, the boat ramp is around the corner. There is a large shelter that is wonderful for family cookouts. You are about 30 minutes from either Elizabeth City or Edenton.
Bring your own paddle boats or kayaks to enjoy the sound. Water is only about 3 ft deep at the dock. There is a fire pit on site.
Blink security cameras in use that cover the driveway and front and back entrances.

***Just a reminder, our slice of Heaven is waterfront property and as such, you will be in nature. There are insects, pests and wildlife that share this beautiful area with us. We do our best to keep them out of the house with yearly/monthly pest control. However, there is still a chance you may find a spider or other insects inside the home. There is also a chance in the warmer months that there will be Fuzzy Bills/Midges or May Flies outside.***

Awesome spot. Such a fantastic view. The pictures don't do it justice. I highly suggest watching the sun come up.The place was clean and inviting with all the amenities a family would need. The neighborhood is quiet. There are some good restaurants fairly close.

The views are amazing we watched dolphins swim through the sound from the dock. We spent countless hours fishing from the dock and enjoying the beautiful weather and quiet neighborhood. One of the all around best places we have stayed. Wish we could have stayed a couple days longer. Will definitely rebook in future. Phyllis is an amazing and attentive owner, with an amazing story!

Wow. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. And how great was that that you got to see the dolphins! Once a year they come through and I’ve only got to see them a couple of times. Hope that you get to come and visit again

We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of space to kick back and relax. The view of the Albemarle Sound from the sunroom was excellent. We will look for this place again when we return in the near future.

Too bad maybe there wasn’t a little bit of snow to go across that sound ha ha. Glad you enjoyed your time there.
