A little slice of Heaven

We had an amazing weekend at Pamlico Cottage. The home was adorable and well stocked. We wanted for nothing. Of course the view was spectacular and time on the water was a blessing. We will look forward to a return trip!

Peaceful retreat

The cottage was so peaceful and quiet. The only sounds were the birds and the water lapping on the shore. Great for relaxing. We even saw dolphins swimming in the river.

Quaint Cottage for a Fishing Trip

House is very interesting! It appears to be a custom, hand-built cottage. The interior is filled with nautical tchotchkes, a dozen oil lamps, many great books to read and games to play, and loads of charm.

Cozy cottage with comfortable beds and exceptional view. Quite windy while we were there, so no kayaking, but owner provides lots of board games and dvds. Unfortunately we never saw any eagles, pelicans, osprey or dolphin, but we had a great time with family.

Second Time Here

Had a great time again, our goal was to fish, and relax, and it didn't disappoint! The weather was decent and the fishing was excellent, off the dock out back we caught several flounder and redfish. For those of you looking to fish, at the end of the dock on the left hand side there is a grass flat and some old dock debris about 30 yards off the dock (stand facing the left corner piling and cast, we caught almost all our fish in that area.

Great semi-secluded get-away

very quiet rustic setting, great water views. very clean but (surprisingly) some of the floor boards spring-board when you step on them. The pier was great and a nice place to relax. There was no ladder to access the water but the pier was acceptable. We are retired, so water access was not needed anyway. Be careful getting in and out of the show-tub unit, there are no hand holds.

Weekend Paradise

We stayed at the cottage with our daughter for a weekend of rest and relaxation and can think of no better spot. Absolutely everything we needed was provided. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and very few were outfitted as well. The pier was a delight. We swam and kayaked and even ate our meals out there. Belhaven was fun to walk around and had several very nice restaurants. I higly recommend!
