Waterfront Retreat w Dock, Boat Access, Parking, Kayaks, Firepit, Grill
Welcome to Riverrun, your private waterfront escape on the Pamlico Sound—perfect for families and groups seeking comfort, relaxation, and adventure! The home sleeps up to 12 guests with 4 bedrooms: two king rooms, one queen, and a spacious upstairs bonus room with a king bed and semi-private partitions. A cozy kids’ room features two sets of bunk beds (top bunks for guests under 150 lbs). Enjoy three full bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining area that seats 6–7 plus bar seating for 3.
Step outside to breathtaking water views, a private dock with boat and jet ski lifts, and kayaks ready for your use. The water depth off the dock is about 5 feet—home to friendly dolphins, crabs, and sea life. Public boat ramps are nearby, and there’s a small on-site ramp suitable for light vehicles or smaller vessels.
Evenings are made for gathering around the waterfront firepit with swings and benches—ideal for sunset views or starlit nights. Please use the designated firepit safely and fully extinguish fires after use.
You’ll find yourself surrounded by peaceful nature, friendly deer, and the occasional curious critter. Pack bug spray and sunscreen to enjoy this beautiful rural setting comfortably. Explore nearby Belhaven, Bath, and Washington—each offering charming waterfront dining, local shops, and authentic coastal Carolina experiences.

The property exceeded our expectations. The owner was easy to communicate with. Location was great and we had plenty of house space for 10 adults as well as plenty of boat parking. Will definitely book this place again.
We enjoyed time with children and grandchildren during our stay at River Run!!!! Amazing property, everything listed was very accurate. Beautiful property and view, will definitely be back!!!!
This was our second, but definitely not the last, time we stayed here for Easter. The house is well appointed and beautiful. The outdoor space was great for our group to spread out and have a grown up Easter egg hunt. We really love everything about this spot!
The house was as advertised, it was clean and well taken care of, there where no surprises. If I was in that area I would definitely rent there again
The property manager was easy to get ahold of and very accommodating
We had a great stay
Everything was great, the place had everything we needed and then some. Had a small problem with the heat but was addressed right away great staff will be back
We love to come and go fishing out here. This dock is perfect for that! Crabs are abundant too! We loved the swings and the wonderful star filled sky. Wow! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature as well as shooting the breeze with the family. We would love to come here again sometime.
This property is just as beautiful as the pictures imply. You couldn't ask for a better view to wake up to in the mornings. Something for everyone - we swam, kayaked, paddled, fished, crabbed, and boated. The grandparents read books on the porch enjoying the view. Fourth of July in downtown Belhaven was a scene from a Hallmark movie. We had a great time and would definitely return.
Michelle thank you for been a great hostess. Your communications are way above any I hope for. You are gracious, honest and friendly. You didn’t promise us the moon, you could have. My family had a great fun. I highly recommend your property.
The property was in fantastic condition and exactly as described in the listing. There were so many little thoughtful touches that set it apart from typical rental properties. We had a wonderful time and the views were just what we needed.
Michelle’s property was well appointed, our family needed nothing!The location and scenery were breathtaking with natural beauty.If watching dolphins, eagles, woodpeckers, bluebirds and jumping fishes are your idea of a serene vacation,River Run is place for you!!5 stars!!!
For once a brochure did not do a property justice. Had six adults and three small children stay with plenty of room for everyone. The view was beautiful, the dock very nice (about 4 feet of water toward the end), and the house itself just perfect. We will definitely return since the area was peaceful and just what we were looking for. We are going to miss our morning coffee on the back porch!
The property is even nicer and more beautiful than the pictures show! We arrived to an immaculately pristine home, complete with fresh flowers! We knew the property was somewhat remote, so we brought along 2 coolers full of food and that worked perfectly!
Our 12 and 13 year olds loved the upstairs/bunk room and we all enjoyed the many games and puzzles supplied for entertainment.
The kitchen was fully stocked and very clean. The master suite was lovely with views of the water, a fabulous shower and tub. But...it was the gorgeous sunsets and endless water views that we enjoyed so much! The dock is fantastic and we really appreciate the use of the boat lift!
If you like remote properties with breathtaking views and the luxuries of home, we would highly recommend!
I couldn't believe how perfect the listing looked when I found it and then I was even more thrilled upon arrival. We had a blast with kids fishing on the dock and kayaking the creeks. The kitchen was top notch as we hosted every family meal around the island. My wife barely left the couch relaxing while looking the water. The master bathroom is what you dream of. I'm trying to figure a way we can get back to RiverRun asap.
