Wonderful and relaxing

We had a great time at Little River. The property is very well kept and clean and has plenty of room for our family of 5. The views from the deck and the pool are amazing. The kids loved spending the days at the pool and catching crabs on the river.We only stayed 4 nights but would love to come back for longer.

Refreshing

We had a marvelous time. Early morning fishing and all day crabbing was a blast. When the mid-day sun became exceedingly warm, the pool became the oasis for everyone. Plenty for everyone to do and the best part was the view!.

Unwind and relax

Perfect place to get away and relax with the family. The pool and lake were the perfect place to cool off. The large fenced in yard was great for the dogs to run around in. Watching the sunsets, sunrises and dolphins from the dock were just what we all needed.

Paradise Visited

The entire visit was absolutely outstanding in every aspect. The owner's are great and go out of their way to ensure that everyone is pleased. I have used VRBO for many stays and this house has been the best by far. Cleanliness is high on my list and the house was spotless. The house, amenities, pool and view is an A+++++. Hope to return next year. Thanks Shannon and Chris for what you do to make this happen!

Most relaxing vacation in years

Amazing vacation at this rental can’t say enough good things. Rental was spotless and provided everything - and I mean everything you could possibly want/need. The pool was amazing for cooling off and relaxing, the cove was great for fishing and bird watching( Great Blue Heron and Osprey), the dock was amazing for dolphin watching and sunrises. There was something for all family members to do separately and together. We spent 1 day to drive over to beach and the rest of the vacation we spent enjoying the rental. The game area came in very handy as we had rain/t storms on several nights. The welcome basket was unbelievably thoughtful and greatly appreciated - as everyone was tired after driving all day and the last thing we wanted to do was go to grocery store . Overall a fantastic vacation and can’t wait to come back next year.

Absolutely Incredible!

Our stay at Shannon and Chris' cottage was without question one of the very best vacations we have been on. The property is STUNNING, even more clean and breathtaking than the listing shows. We had no trouble with sleeping the 4 year old in the kids room (complete with a chest full of toys and games). The master has access to the pool and that gorgeous view. There are 2 nice pull out couches in addition to the bedrooms and the house can be closed up to be kept cool and dark. The house is well equipped with linens and the like for the stay. The kitchen has everything you will need and the appliances are new. There are outside games and toys provided (incredible number) for all ages. The pool is clean and has a whole pool shed full of floats, toys, and water accessorries. The yard is fully fenced and only open at the driveway with tons of grassy space for games and pets. The owners are close to the property and are wonderful! They make it so easy to reach out for any questions and even offer to help with extras (Chris helped us drop our boat right at the property versus using the public launch a few miles away). They were even kind enough to let us use the canoe on the property. Activities abound at this spot - garage has (sheltered but can be opened up to the driveway as well) pool, shuffleboard, darts, corn hole, air hockey, giant Jenga, fishing tackle. The fish are biting at any time of day, I was successful rain, sun, day and night. From my dock and from the boat. The eagles have their nest 100 yards from the screened in porch, osprey are in the patch of woods to the right, palliated woodpeckers, swallows, great blue herons were noted to name only a few. A double rainbow happened twice, and the star gazing is just breathtaking. We WILL be back to visit this spot again. Such a simply fantastic time. Not one complaint from my entire group (the 4 year old wants ice cream for breakfast)!

Our second stay at this property and as before it was exactly what we were looking for. Very clean. Well stocked. Beautiful sunsets every morning from the comfort of the rear screened porch. We have a boat that we launch from the property’s private ramp for fishing and playing on the water. This year we crabbed off the pier with provided crab Potts and in 2 days we had crabs for six people. In the evenings we spent most days in the garage playing pool, darts and table top shuffle board. The large pool right outside the back porch was refreshing on hot days. The owners, Shannon and Chris, who live right up the street were very responsive to anything we needed and since we had met Chris before we welcomed him to come by and visit. Highly recommend a relaxing stay at their vacation house on the Little River. We will be back.

This property exceeded our expectations! The house its self was beautiful. Located down a quiet private road right on the water. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host even provided us with a basket of goodies and treats for my dog! We saw dolphins our first day there and enjoyed relaxing in the pool. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return again next year.

This is the cleanest, most well stocked and relaxing rental we have ever stayed at. Plenty to do from crabbing, fishing, padle boating, or just relaxing in the pool. End of street makes it very private with no traffic. Comfortable beds, screened porch, game room, grills for cooking. This was our second stay and still fasinated watching the osprey fishing and feeding in thier nest. We will definately rent again.

If you want a little piece of paradise this is the place to be. Five stars all around. The property is one of the prettiest settings I have seen in a while and the house is quite quaint. Little goodies were left by the host which made for a warm welcoming. I can't say enough about the host Shannon, she went above and beyond in helping me with a family crisis. I would go back there in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a place of relaxation, fishing or water activities, this is the place to be. Thanks Shannon.

Relaxing and beautiful

Our family of 5 enjoyed staying at Shannon's home. The pool was great and the amenities (kayaks, canoes, pool table) were great. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the view. Our dogs loved having such a huge fenced in yard to run in as well. They absolutely loved barking at the geese as they flew by. Be on the look out for jumping fish. I didn't know fish jumped out of the water like that and it was a sight to see. Great vacation!

Cute Getaway

Cute house fit our quick getaway. This was a new area for us to explore. Home had everything we needed and expected from description and other reviews. Some things like having shade at pool, larger kitchen, and the home so close to water with screened in porch was even better than expected. Kitty Hawk was about 1 hr 20 min drive. We also visited the great dismal swamp which was very beautiful. Didn’t catch fish from house but did get lots of crabs and saw several dolphins on last day. Would recommend home to anyone visiting this area..
