Very cute property close to downtown

We loved the rustic feel (like an up north cabin) while enjoying all modern amenities. Super clean, very comfortable bed and due to the colder temps, we liked having the heating element in the bathroom.

One of the nicest VRBO's I've stayed in. Very nicely decorated. Definitely, the most well stocked with waters, snacks, etc. Great back patio. Plenty of parking. Close to downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at Pamlico River Retreat

We really enjoyed staying at the little cottage over the July 4th weekend. Little touches like provided snacks and plentiful chilled water were very nice. The exterior patio was a welcome place to sit at night. The downtown was a little far for us to walk to but could be convenient with a bike ride. Phyllis was very sweet and thoughtful throughout our stay.We will be back!Lisa, Stuart and Banjo

Amazing Getaway

Went on an interview in the area. This place was not only a clean and comfortable space but had all the necessities to make a home away from home. The owner was very nice and accommodating and provided above and beyond great service, great place and great snacks. Thank you so much Phylis’s and will return when back in area.Zak

Cozy and Clean!!!

Phyllis was a great host and very accommodating. Everything was so clean and she had goodies waiting for us when we arrived! Phyllis provided everything so we didn’t even need anything. We loved hanging out on the back patio, so nice just to sit and relax! Plenty of room to park our boat which was an added bonus! We will definitely be back to stay again!

Washington NC short vacation

Phyllis was a great host, and the property was immaculate. The cottage was so cozy and relaxing. Everything one needed was supplied by Phyllis. Snacks, drinks, and she even had treats for our Shih Tzu. We enjoyed lounging on the back porch/patio. Overall, we had a great weekend. I would say this is the #1 rental in little Washington.

Lovely cottage

Phyllis is a delightful host who thinks of everything. We were there for our daughter’s graduation from ECU. The back patio was the perfect place to host a family cookout and Phyllis was fine with that. The patio has a grill, games, plenty of seating and the backdrop of beautiful flowers everywhere! The attention to detail is remarkable. 2 couples stayed in the house comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked. We walked to downtown and loved downtown! Beautiful restaurants and bars along the water. Washington is quite the destination, especially when you stay at this cottage. We will be back. Thanks Phyllis! games, a

Wonderful Host!

My elderly Mom resides in Washington. My husband and planned a trip to see her. As a last minute add on, we included our 20 month old granddaughter on the trip! We needed a comfortable place and we found it! Phyllis has the best, sweetest, most well appointed little home we could have ever asked for. After a 9 hour drive, we pulled in, and Phyllis provided wine, water, multiple snacks, as well as little treats for our granddaughter. What a wonderful place. It is clean, quiet and perfectly supplied with everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Rest and healing

There are so many things to say about Phyllis and her adorable cottage. I’ll start with how friendly she is…while being respectful of her guest’s privacy. She makes certain you have everything you need…and more. You can expect the most delicious, elegant pastries waiting for your arrival. The towels are huge, soft, and plentiful. The bed is comfortable. The fridge is full of a variety of cold drinks. And we were there for 2 weeks so the washer/dryer, dishwasher, and stove were extremely helpful. Her patio is spacious and relaxing (we loved hanging out with the local wildlife). And finally, her place is close to everything we like to do: restaurants, nature walks, and the wharf area. We had a terrific time!! Thank you Phyllis!

Wonderful New Property

My husband and I can’t say enough good things about this new property. It was just as it appeared online and the outside area was just as fabulous. The house was well appointed and spotless! We did not bring our boat this trip but it will be a perfect location for parking a truck/boat trailer. The property is so close to the waterfront area and it easy to drive over for the shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend this property!
