Nice layout, beautiful views

The property was impressive and definitely looked even more spacious and luxurious in person than in the photos. We were pleasantly surprised. The layout of the home made for ample space to gather as a family and retreat to private areas for less chaotic downtime. The internet was quite fast, no problems there.

Perfect for our family.

The size and location was perfect for our family. We needed a large place for family to stay for my son‘s wedding. The master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my mother-in-law who cannot do stairs. I would highly recommend the space for family gatherings.

Amazing weekend on the Albemarle Sound!

We had a wonderful family weekend at the Parr's waterfront home! We kayaked, made s'mores, played ping-pong and basketball and ladders in the driveway, and all around had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and spacious, a perfect setting for time together. Hope to be back again!

A group of friends stayed at this lovely, spacious home, as our base for daily kayaking adventures. Every one of us raved about the beautiful location! Morning coffee, in the rocking chairs on the deck, watching the sunrise was unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Great house, outstanding location. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. We played basketball, had a bonfire, went kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. We played pool, watched a hockey game, sat on the deck and chilled. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, private location for a waterfront home.

A breath of fresh air

We had the best time. The house and property were so beautiful and relaxing. I spent as much time as I could just sitting at on the porch enjoying the water view. My boys were glued to the ping pong table. There was a space and something to do for everyone. Will definitely be booking again in the future!

Golf buddies weekend

8 golfing friends stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. Very comfortable for a group to relax and enjoy their time off the course. Having the ability to use a boat to ferry us across the waterway to the golf course was unique and very special. Would love to stay again.

Peaceful Parradise

We loved our stay! Not only was it peaceful, but there were so many fun things to do. The house was big enough to hold all 8 of us in one room, but also big enough to allow us all to "do our own thing". Fishing and kayaking were both a big hit for all. I especially loved swinging on the back porch overlooking the water!

perfect for our family

We absolutely loved this place!! The home was beautiful and clean and was a wonderful sanctuary from the heat. Our kids and grandkids hung out in the water the majority of the time we were there - swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, etc. They loved fishing and crabbing off the dock, too. And Tracey was so, so helpful and responsive when we needed her! It really was a perfect little slice of paradise for our family.

Another great stay at Parradise!

Truly enjoyed the beautiful property for a second year! Love the size and layout of the house and the warm water of the sound. Also love the quiet area…not a lot of tourists or boat traffic. The fire pit addition was very nice, enjoyed it on the cooler nights. The house is fantastically equipped with everything for a nice vacation! Also, the property owner is very responsive for questions that arose. We had a great stay! 😊

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Parr

Host profile image
After searching for a place to share with our family and friends, we built this house in 2005 spending countless weekends and vacation weeks here at our home away in Hertford, NC enjoying the amazing surroundings. We discovered early that this was a special place and began calling it Parradise (spelling is purposeful, see our family name). Set on a point of land with 180 degrees of water views Parradise has incredible sunrises and sunsets, brackish waters that warm early in the year allowed all types of watersports, excellent fishing and crabbing. (Please see our photos). Toys galore will leave you with never a moment that there is not something to do, if you want. You will find a perfect balance here allowing you to play hard and relax as much as you desire. Look through all we have to offer below and our photos above to see how our Parradise can become your paradise.

We have spent 16 years making this an amazing place to spend down time. We are looking forward to sharing this amazing place with others.
