Great location
Took my son fishing for a couple of days and really enjoyed our stay. Easy access to all that Belhaven has to offer. Very friendly community with everything we needed. Owner, Billy reached out and could not have been nicer. We'll be back.

Fantastic Hosts, Relaxing, Fun
From communications at initial booking all the way through checking out, this Host was incredible. They made our stay feel as if we’ve been part of the community all our lives. Incredibly friendly, helpful and overall real good people. If you’re looking for a nice relaxing time in a small town on the water - this is the place. Belhaven appears to NC’s best kept secret. We feel we have made some long-lasting friendships. Thank you so much to this Host, we just can’t say enough positive things. HIGHLY recommended.
