Winter weekend stay
I was in Oriental visiting a sick family member, and it was really nice to be able to retreat to this relaxing vrbo. It was just me, but there was plenty of space, and the layout was good. The management was nice to work with, which I really appreciated. I’m hoping to be back in town soon and would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

My son and I spent the weekend here and used this place as our home base to do some kayak fishing. Great place and they have their own dock which made fishing super easy. We will definitely stay here again.

Always Wonderful ~ Never Disappoints
This little gem is our go to getaway. Always peaceful, clean and comfortable. You’ll want for nothing except a longer stay. Bed, bath and kitchen, all well appointed. The view is beautiful … sunrises, ospreys, boats quietly coming and going … all from a private covered deck. We’ll be back …

Weekend stay in Oriental
The unit and view are beautiful. Finding the entrance was a little confusing in the dark because it is accessed from the deck of the 1st floor unit. The property itself could have been kept a little tidier (camping supplies on the walkway to the unit) but once inside it was perfect. The location was great - we biked everywhere!

AWESOME GET AWAY!!
Wow!! This sweet, lovely home was exactly the perfect relaxing get away that my husband and I were looking for and needed!! The water view is outstanding - ospreys, local fisherman, sail boats, full moon, occasional stormy afternoons on the covered porch, all made for a memorable stay. Everything was so clean and comfortable and Irma’s paintings are beautiful!!! Thank you so very much Irma and Bob for your warm hospitality. Hopefully this stay will be the first of many to come … Sincerely, Sandy and Rob Harkers Island, NC

The Getsway
Travelled to Oriental for a sailing weekend. The apartment was large, fresh and clean with a fabulous view of the waterfront from both the enclosed living room and the porch. Although we did not cook or do laundry - the availability of those options added to the rest of the features will bring us back. Thank you for a lovely VRBO experience.

Lovely Waterfront Property in the Village of Oriental
We were very pleased with the property and will definitely stay here again when we return to Oriental. The location was great; it is an easy walk or bike ride to the restaurants, coffee shop and brewery. The owners of the property were very friendly, and we felt very welcome.

Relaxing Getaway
Quiet stay. Great view. I realize had we stayed more than two nights the cost/night would have been less and the stay more enjoyable. Total cost for us was over $300 per night when the fees are tallied. For that price the ice maker should work and a couple other minor issues should not exist. Overall, the location was a great escape! Oriental is a treasure.

The apartment is comfortable, clean and has great views of the water, marina and if the season is right a family of osprey. Irma and Bob, the hosts, are very friendly and always open to answering any questions. We look forward to returning in the near future

Amazing view
The inside of the property was beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The covered porch was great even in the rain. The view was beautiful. Sailboats, fish jumping, butterflies and an osprey nest with 2 chicks. It was amazing watching the osprey fly in with a fish and feed their young. The village and great restaurants are a 15 minute walk along the river. The only small drawback was the entrance which is through the owners work equipment to the stairs. The entrance is on the water side not the street side. Coming and going, we were greeted by baby bunnies. Looking forward to our next visit.
