The size and location was perfect for our family. We needed a large place for family to stay for my son‘s wedding. The master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my mother-in-law who cannot do stairs. I would highly recommend the space for family gatherings.
This was our second long weekend stay at Parradise. Everything about our stay was incredible. Comms from the property owners was incredible. They were so informative and prompt when replying. The house was immaculate with all of the amenities! Will be back again next year!
The property was impressive and definitely looked even more spacious and luxurious in person than in the photos. We were pleasantly surprised. The layout of the home made for ample space to gather as a family and retreat to private areas for less chaotic downtime. The internet was quite fast, no problems there.
Amazing property with everything you could ask for.
We had a incredible time. Between the location, the view, the property and everything Tracy and her family had available at the house there was absolutely nothing more you could ask for in a rental. We enjoyed every second of being there.
A group of friends stayed at this lovely, spacious home, as our base for daily kayaking adventures. Every one of us raved about the beautiful location! Morning coffee, in the rocking chairs on the deck, watching the sunrise was unforgettable. Highly recommend.
The property is exactly as advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing time whether we were enjoying the outdoor waterfront views, gathering our family around the spacious dining room table, or shooting the breeze around the pool table. The owner was couteous and responsive. I highly recommend this property.
Had an early 60th BDay celebration with a small group of friends and we were all so very pleased with this property. Several have stayed in other short term rentals and said by far this was the cleanest, most accurately described. It is well equipped for fun with games, books, pool table, paddle boards, kayaks, floats… so many amenities provided that we weren’t even expecting to ensure guests have a great stay. We brought a boat which really added to our ability to add fun water recreation. The views from the porch and several rooms are fantastic!! The host was so easy to work with. After a bad lightening storm took out the internet overnight, she let me know before we even noticed. Really just a top notch experience for our long weekend away. Will be back, for sure!
8 golfing friends stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. Very comfortable for a group to relax and enjoy their time off the course. Having the ability to use a boat to ferry us across the waterway to the golf course was unique and very special. Would love to stay again.
We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful, fully stocked vacation home.The property was well-maintained and we arrived to a warm, welcoming home. It offered many opportunities for fun...kayaks, lawn games, swimming, crabbing and fishing. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The property was very quiet and provided a great vacation experience for our family!
We absolutely loved this place. The house is beautiful and spacious. It has such an awesome view right on the water. It has all of the amenities you need to cook, fish, etc. The property manager was great and so quick to respond. We will definitely be bringing our church staff back and maybe some family outings as well. I would give it 6 stars if I could.
Great house, outstanding location. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. We played basketball, had a bonfire, went kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. We played pool, watched a hockey game, sat on the deck and chilled. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, private location for a waterfront home.
We had the best time. The house and property were so beautiful and relaxing. I spent as much time as I could just sitting at on the porch enjoying the water view. My boys were glued to the ping pong table. There was a space and something to do for everyone. Will definitely be booking again in the future!
Thanksgiving 2023 with 35 out of town/state family members. Could not have done it without this wonderful house. What we could not accommodate at our home, this house so comfortably and conveniently accommodated the rest. Beautiful experience! Thank you so much for making this possible!
From the property listing, I thought the house looked great. I thought the location looked wonderful. I assumed the views and water surroundings would be beautiful. All exceeded my expectations. Everything is better than it looks. The house has everything you need but the owners have left you enough space for you to bring everything you want. None of this would’ve been possible without Tracy. Great owner. A truly super host. Without reservations, I recommend this rental.
My family and I had the most remarkable stay in this beautiful home. Other reviewers are right- the photos simply don’t do it justice! The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook meals at home, and the dining area is large enough to accommodate a big family. We seated 8 very comfortably around the dining room table and popped the two kids at the breakfast bar (which can easily seat 4). The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, and plenty of bathrooms to give everyone the space and privacy they need.
There’s a gaming table, a comfortable living room, a pool table, and every outdoor game you can think of. It’s the perfect place to detach and unwind and spend quality time with family and friends. There is also a lot of nature to take in- the water, sunrise & sunset, turtles, bunnies, deer, birds, etc. So much relaxation and pure enjoyment.
The host Tracey is amazing, super responsive, and a gem for sharing this beautiful home with us. The home is also located within reasonable driving distance to the beaches (OBX or Virginia Beach) but honestly given everything else to do right at the house, there’s not much need to travel too far!
Pro tip: the dock on the property is a beautiful place for a marriage proposal! My daughter’s BF proposed to her on our trip, and I’ve since learned that this was not the first proposal in this spot! If you are looking for a romantic setting to propose combined with family and friends, look no further!
We had a wonderful family weekend at the Parr's waterfront home! We kayaked, made s'mores, played ping-pong and basketball and ladders in the driveway, and all around had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and spacious, a perfect setting for time together. Hope to be back again!
