Cozy Tiny House -close walk to quaint neighborhood beach!

8/10 Good

"Clean place. Excellent communication with host.Cute place with everything we needed for a pleasant stay."

Tiny House. King bed. Queen bed. Quaint Neighborhood Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"This Tiny House was such a relaxing stay for us. We were able to bring our pup and enjoyed listening to birds on the expansive deck space. The deck decor was very comfortable as was the king sized bed. The kitchen was really clean and well stocked with clean dishes/utensils to prepare meals and the WiFi allowed us to stream Halloween flicks. With close access to the beach, we enjoyed walks and trips up and down the coast to check out local attractions and enjoy fresh seafood. Their water filter on the sink was fantastic for fresh drinking water and the bathroom very accessible, well equipped with clean towels. The neighborhood was really unique and quiet. We kept our pup on a leash and she enjoyed all the new smells on our walks. The care and details of this tiny house really showed a lot of pride in ownership -- from easy to use appliances to panoramic views of the trees, this property really stands out for us as exceptional."

Charming new in 2026 private apartment on the water in lovely Edenton.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exactly as advertised. Lovely river views in a quiet country setting. Would 10/10 stay there again. Our host/owner Fraser was very communicative and friendly as he greeted me upon arrival with his super cute dog Twig. Enjoy the sunsets on the pier with a glass of wine and relax....worth every penny!"

The Bay House

8/10 Good

"Clean well-maintained bungalow that has upfitted kitchens and baths. Very large screened in porch with cool, large porch swing. Large kitchen island with stools, games and sectional sofa make it ideal for family gatherings. Comfortably sleeps 6. We had the pleasure of seeing dolphins swim by the pier during our stay, and caught stripers, brim and catfish. Only drawback was some difficulty fishing due to large number of stumps and snags occurring around the pier. The pier itself and bulkhead area needs some work."
