Belhaven, NC, is a hidden gem on the waterfront, and I couldn’t think of a better place to create a welcoming space for travelers. I chose this neighborhood because of its rich history, serene surroundings, and sense of community. It’s a place where time slows down, and you can truly appreciate the beauty of the coast, from the stunning sunsets over the Pungo River to the charming local shops and restaurants. What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is how peaceful it is—there’s a simplicity here that lets you unwind while still having access to all the outdoor activities and historic sites nearby. You can kayak, fish, or just take a stroll through the quaint streets, making it an ideal spot for those who love nature and a slower pace of life.
