We really enjoyed our stay. We spent most of our time either on the back porch enjoying the view or inside playing games. We had a fire in the fire pit one night and saw so many stars. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed.

Weekend Escape

The property was in fantastic condition and exactly as described in the listing. There were so many little thoughtful touches that set it apart from typical rental properties. We had a wonderful time and the views were just what we needed.

Perfect Spring Spot

This was our second, but definitely not the last, time we stayed here for Easter. The house is well appointed and beautiful. The outdoor space was great for our group to spread out and have a grown up Easter egg hunt. We really love everything about this spot!

Wonderful place for a family get together!

For once a brochure did not do a property justice. Had six adults and three small children stay with plenty of room for everyone. The view was beautiful, the dock very nice (about 4 feet of water toward the end), and the house itself just perfect. We will definitely return since the area was peaceful and just what we were looking for. We are going to miss our morning coffee on the back porch!

Fishing on the Pamlico

We love to come and go fishing out here. This dock is perfect for that! Crabs are abundant too! We loved the swings and the wonderful star filled sky. Wow! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature as well as shooting the breeze with the family. We would love to come here again sometime.

Fun for all at the River

This property is just as beautiful as the pictures imply. You couldn't ask for a better view to wake up to in the mornings. Something for everyone - we swam, kayaked, paddled, fished, crabbed, and boated. The grandparents read books on the porch enjoying the view. Fourth of July in downtown Belhaven was a scene from a Hallmark movie. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Michelle thank you for been a great hostess. Your communications are way above any I hope for. You are gracious, honest and friendly. You didn’t promise us the moon, you could have. My family had a great fun. I highly recommend your property.

Peaceful, Remote and Beautiful

The property is even nicer and more beautiful than the pictures show! We arrived to an immaculately pristine home, complete with fresh flowers! We knew the property was somewhat remote, so we brought along 2 coolers full of food and that worked perfectly! Our 12 and 13 year olds loved the upstairs/bunk room and we all enjoyed the many games and puzzles supplied for entertainment. The kitchen was fully stocked and very clean. The master suite was lovely with views of the water, a fabulous shower and tub. But...it was the gorgeous sunsets and endless water views that we enjoyed so much! The dock is fantastic and we really appreciate the use of the boat lift! If you like remote properties with breathtaking views and the luxuries of home, we would highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at River Run! The house was absolutely beautiful and all of the linens, bath towels, beach towels, etc., were provided. We loved the peacefulness & watching the beautiful sunrises & sunsets. The dolphins came to perform for us almost every evening and the kids loved fishing from the pier. Michelle, the owner/host was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely plan to stay again. Thank you for a truly amazing vacation!!

This place was one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. The host was very nice. This place seemed to have it all from spacious room for a large family to a dock perfect for fishing and boating. I would recommend this to anyone!

Exceeded every expectation!

I couldn't believe how perfect the listing looked when I found it and then I was even more thrilled upon arrival. We had a blast with kids fishing on the dock and kayaking the creeks. The kitchen was top notch as we hosted every family meal around the island. My wife barely left the couch relaxing while looking the water. The master bathroom is what you dream of. I'm trying to figure a way we can get back to RiverRun asap.
