Beautiful home
6 of us (3 couples) enjoyed this home for a long weekend. Home was clean, well equipped with plenty of room for us to enjoy meals together as well as spread out in smaller groups. Edenton is a beautiful town and the house was within walking distance of everything downtown.

Historic Delight
Our family enjoyed staying in this beautifully appointed character-filled home! The home was clean, welcoming, and in a historic town with lots of shops and eating options. The owners were easy to communicate with. The house is obviously loved by the owners who take great care of it. We enjoyed taking a walk along the sound and looking at historic homes. We recommend this VRBO listing!

Unbelievable 19th Century Home
Located a few blocks from the center of Edenton town Dock. Walk to more historic sites per capita than anywhere I've been. Great accommodations in The South's Prettiest Snall Town.

Annual Edenton Reunion
This was our first stay in this home. We really appreciated the location since it was around the corner from our cousins and where some of the events were. But the antiques on the main level were a little much to maneuver for my mom with a walker. Just not my style I guess. The upstairs rooms were not a problem and perfect for our needs. Thank you for the opportunity to stay.
