Sailors Choice was the perfect place for our extended weekend stay in Oriental for the Cycle North Carolina event. Steve and Sarah were very responsive to any questions or needs we had. The apartment was very comfortable and well stocked. It is on the Blackwell marina and about a mile away from "downtown " Oriental. We plan to return in the future.

We look for properties with complete kitchens, and this one is spot-on. Location is quiet and away from traffic but only a minute from grocery, restaurants, and docks. Very clean -- spotless -- amazing since it's billed as pet-friendly. Deck overlooking marina is exactly as depicted in the photo -- peaceful and perfect for glass of wine or cup of coffee. Bathroom well appointed. Beds and pillows, couches and chairs excellent. We had trouble checking in but that was due solely to unexpected Amazon Web Services outage affecting vrbo's servers -- it's a good thing we had communicated with owners by phone. In a marina neighborhood -- we felt secure. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. Definitely will return next time we're near Oriental.
