Beautiful home

6 of us (3 couples) enjoyed this home for a long weekend. Home was clean, well equipped with plenty of room for us to enjoy meals together as well as spread out in smaller groups. Edenton is a beautiful town and the house was within walking distance of everything downtown.

Historic Delight

Our family enjoyed staying in this beautifully appointed character-filled home! The home was clean, welcoming, and in a historic town with lots of shops and eating options. The owners were easy to communicate with. The house is obviously loved by the owners who take great care of it. We enjoyed taking a walk along the sound and looking at historic homes. We recommend this VRBO listing!
