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.

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 …

Comfy apartment with views
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

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!

Lovely, comfortable stay
This is a wonderful apartment in quaint Oriental. The space is exactly as described and pictured — very nicely furnished and decorated. It is a perfect spot for a couple. The covered porch overlooking the water is outstanding! We were in Oriental for a outdoor music festival, and when rain sent us back to the apartment we were comfortable spending the afternoon relaxing and reading. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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
