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!

Hole in One!
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.

Exceeded all expectations
From the property listing, I thought the house looked great. I thought the location looked wonderful. I assumed the views and water surroundings would be beautiful. All exceeded my expectations. Everything is better than it looks. The house has everything you need but the owners have left you enough space for you to bring everything you want. None of this would’ve been possible without Tracy. Great owner. A truly super host. Without reservations, I recommend this rental.

Awesome!
Thanksgiving 2023 with 35 out of town/state family members. Could not have done it without this wonderful house. What we could not accommodate at our home, this house so comfortably and conveniently accommodated the rest. Beautiful experience! Thank you so much for making this possible!

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.
