This is a wonderful place to stay. The house has everything you could ask for. Fishing off the dock was excellent. Very clean with a great view and a good location. The owner is exceptional and is quick to respond to any questions you may have.
Well, thought out property. Amazing views on 3 sides of the building. Great fun watching the wildlife. Home had everything we needed. Kitchen was fabulous. Bedrooms were well appointed.
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.
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!
The house was in perfect condition, very clean and made us both happy to be there. Great view of the Sound and stars at night. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Beth emailed us several times to ensure there were no problems or questions. We had a perfect stay and would recommend Waterwinds to everyone.
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!
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.
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.
Location was perfect! Home was comfortable and well stocked. My son and I fished everyday and family had a relaxing time! Communication with Beth was excellent with quick responses. She was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend.
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 !!
We had a wonderful stay at the house. Its a great location with incredible views.
Beth was awesome to deal with.
If we were ever in the area we would definitely stay again.
The views from this house were amazing! Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing. The hosts worked great with us on an early arrival. We really enjoyed our stay!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would consider this in our top 3 vacation rentals: spectacular views, a very walkable neighborhood for us and our dogs, and a nicely appointed home.
The owner was very responsive and friendly as well. What more could you ask for?
Beautiful house. Right on the water with a beautiful view. Lots of things to do at the house. The owners thought of everything, it was a wonderful place to stay

This was a wonderful, quiet retreat for us...a comfortable waterfront home in a comfortable neighborhood with an awesome view of the Sound...big skies, nesting birds, and beautiful sunsets.
