About this property

You will be "Blown Away"! New Dock!

Welcome to our home away from home!
Blown Away is a riverfront location on the Pungo River just minutes from downtown Belhaven. Our house is located in the quiet subdivision of Norfleet shores. There are many activities that you can partake in while staying here such as boating, fishing, crabbing, kayaking (one is provided for you to use), antique shops, shopping, and dining. Enjoy a plush sandy bottom for comfort while tubing, floating and relaxing in the water just steps from the house. While relaxing on the wrap around screened in porch, take in tranquil views of dolphins, bald eagles, sailboats, and boat life on the Intercostal Waterway.
The town of Belhaven, a quick 15 minute drive, offers many unique dining and shopping experiences. If you prefer a different means of travel such as by boat, Behaven is a short, quick, scoot across the Pungo River. There is a convenient public dock to keep your boat while you dine and shop with the locals.
Not only do you have Belhaven close by, there is historic Bath to explore, and Little Washington to visit. If you are really wanting to explore all of what Eastern North Carolina has to offer, take a ferry ride from Bayview (10 minutes away) to the Aurora Fossil Museum (great for kids!) and visit Oriental( the sailing capital of North Carolina). For an all day trip, check out the Swan Quarter Ferry to take you to Ocracoke, or take a drive to the Outer Banks. Please check out our home on the Pungo River, we promise you will be "blown away!"

Cozy House on River

Nicely appointed house. River was serene and beautiful. One neighbor a few houses down was a bit loud, but an otherwise tranquil location. Nice getaway.

Home away from home

Pulling up to check in with 2 hours until sunset was probably some of the best first impressions. The kids couldn't wait to run to the pier and check out the well-built prefab dock. Enter rear at that point to a wonderful wrap around deck with . Will stay here again.

A great place

The house was well equipped and worked well for 5 adults and 5 kids. The neighbor was awesome and loaned us his lily pad! We had a great time! Hour and forty-five minute drive for a day at the beach was worth it!

Pictures do not do this property justice! Despite traveling there on a cold weekend in February, we were drawn to the porch and lookout to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. The house was exceptionally clean and very well accommodated. It “blew us away!”

Great stay!

This house was perfect. The location was only a few mins from Belhaven but nice and quiet, right on the water. The house was very comfortable and clean. We didnt realize that the upstairs master was open somewhat to downstairs (no door from staircase) but it actually worked great for us. There was plenty of privacy and our family moving around downstairs didnt wake up our 10 month old. Would definitely stay here again.

Best Porch Ever

Wonderful home! Our party of 7 would definitely return. The large, completely screened porch was perfect for chatting, listening to the birds, hearing the sounds of the water, and watching the fish jump. The house was spotless, warm, and inviting. Thank you for an incredible stay!

We were blown away!

My husband and I along with all of our kids had a wonderful stay at your house! We caught tons of crabs and fish off the back dock. We brought with us big tubes and the kids floated in the river. A few of the days we took the drive over to nags head beach. Over all the house was perfect with tons of memories made.

Absolutely perfect

This beautiful house is in a great location. Size is perfect for multiple family members to have their own space. The back screened in porch was enjoyed for hours every day. Having the convenience of a boat lift allowed us to keep the boat close and readily available. The property owner is very responsive and accommodating! I cannot say enough good things about this property and the property owner!

Relaxing waterfront retreat

Our family had a great time at “Blown Away”! The property was exactly as it was advertised, the host was immediately responsive to our questions about Belhaven and the surrounding area and the views of the water were stunning! We saw dolphins swimming in the river in the mornings, and it was so dark at night I saw the Milky Way! My daughter and I did have a brief encounter with some jellyfish while swimming but that was not unexpected. We all loved the house and would definitely stay here again!

Charming Cottage

We loved our stay at the "Blown Away" cottage! We were in town for a wedding and, unfortunately, Ophelia decided to complicate things. We rode out the storm in the cottage and enjoyed family time playing games and cooking on the gas stove. The owners were super responsive and helpful! Our stay was comfy and overall pleasant. We will stay there again if our travels lead us back to Belhaven. :)

True relaxation

Thank you for sharing your rental with us, it was a perfect relaxing vacation away from the busy work life. We all had a chance to put life on hold and make some family memories enjoying what is truly most important in life...our loved ones. Your home allowed each of us our own space but still plenty of room to gather together. We caught a few crab,some fish, my son in law caught a sting ray, mother in law caught an eel and something snapped my line. We were truly "Blown Away"

Beautiful, relaxing home on the river

This property was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and this house was conveniently close to our venue. The home was spacious enough for us to have some of our family also join us. My only complaint was that we were so busy with wedding festivities that we didn’t get to really enjoy the lovely porch and property. I’ll be keeping this house in mind for future trips. The owner is also very accommodating and super easy to communicate with. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We really enjoyed our time there.

Quiet home away from home.

The house was very well kept with a beautiful view of the water. We were very happy to see that the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and spices. This helped us feel right at home with breakfast and dinner every night. We fished the dock for two days and ended up with 4 Red drum, 2 Flounder, 15 Trout, and 5 blue crabs. With the historic town of Bath not far away and Washington (NC) less than an hour away, there’s plenty to do in the surrounding areas but the house is just far enough away from all of the noise that it’s perfect for winding down after a busy day.
