Quaint Cottage for a Fishing Trip
House is very interesting! It appears to be a custom, hand-built cottage. The interior is filled with nautical tchotchkes, a dozen oil lamps, many great books to read and games to play, and loads of charm.

Great semi-secluded get-away
very quiet rustic setting, great water views. very clean but (surprisingly) some of the floor boards spring-board when you step on them. The pier was great and a nice place to relax. There was no ladder to access the water but the pier was acceptable. We are retired, so water access was not needed anyway. Be careful getting in and out of the show-tub unit, there are no hand holds.

Amazing Place!
This was the most restful vacation i have ever had! I took my elerly mother for a week with just the 2 of us. I left ffor the military when i was 20 and have always lived far away- This week was about giving my mother and myself a week to just enjoy each others company and to just relax, reminisce, read and enjoy the views of the River This cottage was the ideal place to do so! Our host had the cottage stocked with many items you would not find at a typical VRBO. The pier and the view was amazing and the decor of the cottage was a perfect addtion! The town of Belhaven is a small town that has a Food Lion and several places to eat. If you are looking for a place to get away- just relax and be away from the craziness of life- i highly recommend!

Cozy cottage with comfortable beds and exceptional view. Quite windy while we were there, so no kayaking, but owner provides lots of board games and dvds. Unfortunately we never saw any eagles, pelicans, osprey or dolphin, but we had a great time with family.

Second Time Here
Had a great time again, our goal was to fish, and relax, and it didn't disappoint! The weather was decent and the fishing was excellent, off the dock out back we caught several flounder and redfish. For those of you looking to fish, at the end of the dock on the left hand side there is a grass flat and some old dock debris about 30 yards off the dock (stand facing the left corner piling and cast, we caught almost all our fish in that area.

We had an awesome time. Mary was more than accommodating. The house is located in a picturesque location. We spent most of our time out on the dock. The kids loved swimming and fishing. I enjoyed wildlife watching and kayaking. The fossil museum in Aurora is well worth the trip. We will definitely be back in the future. I was very sad I had to checkout after our week was over. Hopefully one day we can stay in this area permanently.

A lovely escape for our family
Mary is a wonderful hostess with prompt communication and a true gift for thinking of it all. We had gone to the grocery store before we arrived and ended up not needing many of the things we had bought. The panoramic views of the water in the main living space was our favorite place to spend a rainy day putting together a puzzle, listening to music or watching movies. The decor is so charming, the beds comfortable. We were looking for a relaxing escape from the city and that’s exactly what we got!
