William was a wonderful host! Communication was great! The home had a lot of character, and it was close to downtown. We were able to bring our fur babies too which was so nice! The back porch had a great view of the water and was so relaxing.

The Sterling House checks all the boxes. Pet-friendly (our dog loved running around in the fenced backyard), clean, sooo cozy, and convenient to everything. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen is well-stocked. We felt very much at home there. There are two parks within walking distance (one less than 1/8th mile), it's walkable to downtown, and the street is historic, quiet, and lovely. The view from the deck is incredible! The river is closer to the house than it appears in the listing pictures, and we spent much of our time on the deck or in the great room appreciating the view. We were even lucky enough to have a train pass by one morning, and we saw the old swing bridge in action. Check-in couldn't be more effortless, and the host responds very quickly. We were also pleased with the variety and quality of the restaurants in Washington. Can highly recommend The Bank Bistro and Bar (amazing Caesar salad), Pam's diner, and Havens Mill Pizza (take out only). Truly one of our favorite rentals of all time. We hope to return again and again.

Highly recommend this property and visiting Washington, NC! William was easy to communicate with, kind, and thoughtful. The home was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the proximity to town and listening to the cicadas while the sun set over the Pamlico. It was a fairly quick drive to Goose Creek State Park. FYI- this section of the river and the nearby Haven's Park are saltwater fishing designated. If you fish from the park downtown (past the railroad bridge), then it is freshwater. 20 minutes away in Grimesland, there are public ponds managed by NC WRC that stock LMB @ GPS 35.5825, -77.1716.

William was a great host. The house is super quiet and quaint. We loved that we could have the dogs with us and the yard is a great size to play ball with them and let them run around. The river and pond are perfect for fishing and downtown is walkable. Super cute restaurants on main street.

The perfect location for sunrises, sunsets, walks to town. The historic neighborhood is charming and was decorated for Christmas while we were there. The house is so comfortable and our host was readily available for any questions we had. We plan to return to see the area dressed up for spring.

Great visit in Washington NC!

William the host was friendly and responsive. The house had great views of the Pamlico and was just far enough from the stores and restaurants to be quiet while still an easy walk to all the fun stuff. Great starting point for a run upriver or down river. We used the house as a base for some college visits, but if you arrive by boat, the house is an easy walk from the city dock for a couple of nights ashore!

Great location! Quiet, Comfortable

The Sterling House was very comfortable, clean & quiet. Easy location to find, nicely located for access to the area’s sights. We visited the area for a wedding over in Moorehead City, NC Aquarium on the coast. The visit, the wedding, the people we met were some of the kindest of folks.. Nice to visit a small town with that small town feeling. Great time, great place, can’t wait to visit again.
