Very nice for our two Frenchie's. Big yard. Lots of room to roam. Very nice and quiet. Traffic on the road was very light. not sure if a single vehicle went over 20 MPH. The fishing dock was great. The fishing ... not so much. Did manage to catch some Flounder, Catfish, Croaker, Skates etc. Great Kitchen! Plenty of storage space. Very clean. Would Highly recomend. Thanks Water Winds !!

Great Water View! It really does feel like you're on top of the water. The house was clean and ready for us. The beds were the most comfortable beds we've had in a vrbo. Well stocked, and the fire pit at the water was a bonus.

Peaceful location

The house was everything we could wish for and more. There was plenty to do when the weather was rainy and more to do when we got some sunshine. The kitchen had everything we needed when we decided to make dinner at home one night or for bringing food in from local diners. The location was perfect for us that were looking for a low-key, relaxing location, but close enough to cities when we wanted to go do some touristy things. We loved the water views. We would definitely stay here again.

Five Weeks in Paradise…

Our second stay and it was just as great as the first. Tastefully furnished and decorated. Not a cookie cutter rental! Beautiful private waterfront location. The Osprey nest was active with mom and a baby. Five families of geese sailed by almost every day. Kayaking here is superb. The hosts are easy to reach and extremely helpful. I can’t wait to come again next year!

Another 10-Star stay!!!

Back again but for 5 weeks! Waterwinds is even more beautiful than I remember. Brand new deck, beautiful and comfortable furnishings. Fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities. Gorgeous private landscaped waterfront setting. Water on canal side is shallow enough for my 3 and 5 year old great granddaughters to swim. Will be booking next year for sure!

I have lost count, but I believe this was our 5th stay since 2019. I can not put into words the peace this stay gives both me and my husband. Our biggest fear is that one day Beth will want to keep this piece of heaven all to herself. Plan to visit again real soon.

Amazing!

This vacation home was big, clean, and beautifully decorated. The rental process was very easy with Beth. She emailed during our stay checking to make sure everything was going good. The area was so nice. Everyone is friendly. We loved learning the history of Edenton. We did the boat tour, trolley tour, and the lighthouse tour. We loved Hertford and Elizabeth City. The antique shops were very nice. The antique shop (Four Corners) in Tyner, NC is awesome.

What a view!

My sisters and I were looking for a quiet, nicely appointed house with a water view and that's exactly what we got with WaterWinds! We enjoyed our view of the Albemarle Sound from the dock, the deck, and from the family room couch! The water was everything from wavy with white caps to calm and smooth as glass (with a great dolphin show!). Lots of birds to enjoy as well. Would recommend 100%!

I would give 10 stars

Waterwinds deserves 10 stars. It’s like a hidden jewel. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. We stayed for a month with our little dogs. It’s on the water and felt like we were at a bird sanctuary. A mating pair of Osprey occupied the nest and tree about 20’ offshore. Witnessed the male dive and catch a fish from the deck. The house has everything one could hope for. Gorgeous kitchen and living area. Lots of windows so staying inside during a rainy day was not a hardship. Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Will definitely come back next year, if they’ll have us!

relaxing getaway

This property was perfect, it had everything needed for our family, fishing for the fisherman, wildlife for the nature lover, and quite comfortable place with wonderful view for the reader in the family. Beth thought of everything to make this a easy vacation, even ice packs for the picnic cooler. Will keep this on my list of return properties for relaxing vacation. Enjoyed the home and location. Beth you are a hands on host, with quick response and good communication skills. Thanks for sharing you vacation home. Pam
