The Sterling House was by far the best property to celebrate for my graduation. It was unforgettable and William was very kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Best VRBO experience ever had.
We absolutely loved this visit for my birthday. William was communicative, helpful and available if needed. We really felt at home and can’t wait to come back.
We truly enjoyed our stay in Washington. The end and beginning of each day was very special because of our stay in Sterling House. So peaceful by the river. The house was so lovely. My husband and I have a love of historic homes.
Greatly enjoyed our stay at the Sterling House. Spent evenings on rear porch looking out to the Pamlico River. Walked into town for lunch, dinner or just to meander along the riverfront. William was a wonderful host.
Charming older home on the river. Porch has amazing views and a wonderful swing! Porch was shaded and provided the perfect place for meals and relaxing while watching the boats on the river. House was very clean and well stocked. Very please with our stay. Would love to rent again.
The hosts made it super easy check in and out. Beautiful views. Very close to waterfront district with all the quaint little shops. Val’s bakery is a must! Hosts were easily accessible. Perfect get away with a peaceful view of the sound.
This is a lovely home in a peaceful location. Set on the river, it was a soothing place to wake up in the morning. The host provided everything we needed for our two night stay. Washington, NC offers a rich history with wonderful shops and restaurants.
This home was a clean, comfortable and perfect place to stay for our weekend getaway for a family wedding. It’s on the water and in a quiet neighborhood but yet it was very close to the uptown wedding rehearsal dinner @Hackneys and to the reception at the Mulberry House on Main Street. Would love to return at a later date to tour the town.
Charmingly appointed home nestled in a lovely quiet neighborhood along the river. Included all the amenities needed for a restful stay. Great proximity to downtown to walk and enjoy a meal. Perfect location to use as a base camp for birding the surrounding area. Has lots of comfortable outdoor spaces to unwind with a glass of wine after a long day. Perfect backyard for our Labrador to enjoy some free time in the evenings.
Nicely maintained home with all you need for a perfect stay.
Nestled on a quiet street just minutes walk from historic downtown and riverfront walk.
Large covered porches with the back porch having a river view and we enjoyed an occasional slow moving train going past.
Management is very accommodating and fast to respond.
Highly recommend.
everything better than advertised. charming house. wonderful location. drinking coffee on back deck in the morning, watching river and birds was the highlight. relaxing and restorative.👍
We often visit Washington to go fishing on the Pamlico. We usually make it a day trip. We wanted to stay for a few days with our dogs and booked the Sterling House. It was a relief to find a place that allows dogs, first of all. The house was clean. I loved the character of the house. The view was amazing and peaceful. I would definitely recommend booking a stay here.
Beautiful little house n a quaint town. Owner SUPER easy to work with and communication was spot on! We were there during tropical storm Ophelia and he was sure to make sure we were safe. Views once the storm cleared were AMAZING!
The property was exactly as described. Check in and out were simple. Great communication from host. Beautiful water view, with swing on the back porch. Enjoyed walking to town to explore. Great friendly neighborhood!!
Check in and check out could not have been any easier. Home was exactly as pictured. The back porch view and experience were exceptional. We enjoyed the short walk to downtown and the water front park. The restaurants we visited were superb. Don’t miss prime rib night at The Bank Bistro. What a lovely home and a beautiful small town.
We had an incredible stay in Washington to visit my sister who lives in nearby Greenville. We wanted something that was quiet and felt like a mini-vacation getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of a larger town. This property was absolute perfection. William is an incredible host - accommodating, communicative, and respectful of privacy. We can't wait to stay again. We fell in love with the small-town charm of this house and this town! We will definitely be coming back for another visit.
Our stay was fantastic! What a beautiful house with fantastic view of the Pamlico River! William was available to answer any questions prior our stay through the Vrbo online tool! I would highly recommend this property as a pleasant and relaxing place to stay. It is very convenient to downtown as well as the river boardwalk. I can’t say enough great things about William and his property! Both are 5 star along with two very big two thumbs up!!!
