Edenton does Christmas right.

The Edenton Bay Cottage was perfect for 5 people. The location was very walkable to do the Candlelight Open House Tour. Also several restaurants were within walking distance. The kitchen was well appointed for our needs.

The house is in an ideal location. Very safe neighborhood and easy walking/running routes. Restaurants and shops are close. The history of Edenton is significant ant the trolley and boat cruise are great ways to discover it. Everyone we met was friendly. Food was delicious. Recommend the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. Will return!

Comfy house w superior location

Had a good long weekend visiting friends and family. Two couples had a pleasant and easy stay here. Kitchen fully equipped, beds comfy, everything spotless. Short walk to tour this historic and picturesque town. Numerous food and drink options close by. Nice locals around that are happy to catch up with visitors. Great choice whenever you are visiting here.

Beautiful, Cozy Cottage!

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Enough space where everyone could be together and find a quiet corner if you chose to. Well equipped to stay in, cook dinner and watch a movie when it rained. Beautiful neighborhood to take a walk into town. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions. Wished we could have stayed longer.

They have all you need and more to have a memorable and comfortable stay!!! Just finished our second stay here. Location is perfect and we were able to enjoy all of our favorite things!!!! (Just don’t eat at Waterman’s, go to 309 bistro!) The pictures don’t do this home justice! It’s beyond beautiful. Thank you again to the home owners!!!

Cozy home on the water. Beautiful Sunsets.

Christian was amazing to work with. Enjoyed a Galentines weekend celebrating friendships. Home was cozy, had all the essentials...crockpot, coffee maker, dishes, dishwasher, etc. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed The Edenton downtown shopping and especially dining at Bistro 309 and The Herringbone. Would definitely stay here again and again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Able to enjoy our time together as a family right on the water! Caught a lot of fish and made a lot of memories! Comfy beds, a lot of space, very clean, kitchen had everything you needed! Also, each room had little essential kits for showering! We will FOR SURE be back!!!!!! Did not have to communicate with owners as everything was written out when we got there and description was accurate on listing. Very pleased with this place!!!!

Great house with Amazing View

The backyard backs up to the water. We put in paddleboards right over the retaining wall. Sunsets were amazing. The house is older but very nicely renovated and it lives bigger than it is. There are 3 very usable bedrooms and 2 full baths. Host was very responsive. Edenton is a sleepy little town. We were only there for 2 nights and the second night (monday) our choices for food were Mexican or Dairy Queen. Even in non Covid times, I'm not sure Edenton has much more to offer. The few restaurants were either closed for covid reasons or just closed during the week. We would definitely visit again and stay in this house again with the knowledge that this is not a place to visit for the establishments. It's perfect if you bring food, cook, and just enjoy the scenery.

This was such a cute little cottage right on the water and within walking distance of town. Surrounded by so much history and beautiful historic homes Lovely Churches with adjoining graveyards to explore in the neighborhood. We are new to NC from California, so visiting these small quaint towns, Edenton is number 1 so far. For the town and the cottage.
