About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Steps from the water with a private dock, a big relaxing porch & great amenities

Our cute and cozy cabin is steps from the water of Back Creek.
Bring your boat and come out for a relaxing stay! Don't forget the poles. There's plenty of fish right out your front door.
The cabin itself has all the comforts of home. It is open spaced with a full kitchen, queen bed and two chairs that convert into single cots.
Our peaceful porch is perfect for a cookout, napping on our lounge for two with mosquito netting or just watching the fish jump.
The space
The picturesque and quiet town of Bath is North Carolina’s oldest town and port of entry. Bath is home to less than 300 folks and was the stomping grounds of Edward Teach, the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
Located on the Pamlico river, there is water everywhere.
Our property is peaceful and serene with a large and inviting porch. Our home sits on the back of the property while the cabin is steps from the water and dock.
Our cabin is designed for two or a small family. While we can sleep four, it is one open space with no bedroom for privacy. You can bring 4 adults, but the chairs that convert to cots aren’t great for older backs and we DO NOT recommend unless you want to tough it out. Children will sleep just fine.
We are in walking distance to all that Bath has to offer. There is a visitor’s center, two restaurants, a store, shops and several historic sites. We’ve even got an ABC store!
Goose Creek State Park is only 6 miles away. It has beautiful hiking trails and private sandy beaches.
We hope to host you soon!
Guest access
You are welcome to wander anywhere on our property!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great little place on the water. Quiet neighborhood, friendly locals, and super nice host. Its a definite gem. Restaurant at entrance to neighborhood was a great breakfast spot. Get it to go and enjoy it on the porch overlooking to the water. Bring your boat just keep in mind the clearance of the bridge is 5-6ft and the ramp is just on the other side. Fishing from the dock was good as well. Host has put a lot of thought to being sure you have everything you might need while there. Attention to detail was obvious. Book it, your gonna enjoy it!

Another Great Visit

This was my second time staying at Carmen and Darryl’s Bath cottage, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It’s comfortable, clean, peaceful, in a beautiful setting, and convenient for me to visit with family. I’ll very likely return.

Great Location

This little cabin is so nice and has been decorated with such bright and happy colors. It is right at the shoreline and the view of the water is so relaxing any time of day. I especially like the early and late evening. It is small for 4 adults, but our 2 grown daughters didn't mind for just a couple of nights. Much better than just a hotel room. We hope to be able to go back sometime. I give it an A!

A River Gem

My husband and I spent three nights at Carmen and Darryl’s guest cottage while attending a family reunion and couldn’t have been more pleased with everything about it. It’s clean and comfortable with a wonderful view. We love Bath and have spent much time there with family as our children grew up so this was a nostalgic trip for us. This wonderful little cottage made our weekend even more special.

Perfect Pamlico Sound Paradise

We travel 1 long weekend a month and since I’ve never been to Bath yet, i thought that was the perfect location for our little family of 4 to visit .. we will definitely be back. It was a beautiful property, everything was incredibly clean, it was quiet and private. They had more than enough for us to be completely comfortable and feel right at home. We caught the last little bit of winter and it was absolutely Gorgeous! Could not have asked for a better host. If I could rate this higher than a 10/10 I absolutely would.

I am so happy I found this little slice of heaven. Such a cute cottage, with everything you need. The hosts are very thoughtful and communicative. It’s great if you don’t want to necessarily be around other people, but you also have that option. Weather was perfect and got some beautiful photos around the area. Will definitely be back with more folks. (And my kayak) Thank you for an amazing stay!
