WaterWinds! Waterfront Private house w/dock, Pet friendly

Water Winds is a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Need to work from home? We have high speed internet and plenty of room to do what you have to. This is a great place to relax, spread out and claim plenty of room for yourself. WaterWinds has a calm aesthetic with a large great room, and plenty of comfortable seating options. Your view is the ever changing waters of the Albemarle Sound. We provide kayaks, a game room, fishing poles and crab pots. No need to go anywhere else. Fix your meals in our well stocked kitchen with gas range, better than eating out because you know exactly how it was prepared. Support our local fisherman and purchase fresh seafood locally or catch your own. Enjoy the scenery. Pods of dolphin can be seen swimming right off the bulkhead. Otter occasionally sun themselves on the Dock and banks. You will often see Bald head eagles, Osprey and all manner of sea birds from the large Sound side windows. Enjoy your coffee from the comfort of the great room while you experience the peace of the Albemarle Sound. Watch the Sunset and enjoy an outside fire in the brick firepit. Sit on the dock, or lay a blanket or yoga mat out and enjoy the sun. Explore the Sound by kayak, paddle board or wade out into the waist high water. Play pool, darts or ping pong in the downstairs games, sports room. Watch awestruck as waves break over the bulkhead during a storm. Walk to the little community park and play a game of tether ball or volley ball. The boat ramp is right next to the park for your personal water craft.

The home features 3 bedrooms, all with water view, all queen size. Plenty of linens, water themed rooms with fluffy comforters and a couple of beach towels if you forget yours. 2 baths. The Master bath has oversized shower. The hall bath has a tub.
55 inch smart TV in the great room. Smaller TV with Roku in the Master and Canal view bedroom. Washer and dryer. The kitchen is a dream to work in with stainless steel appliances and gas stove. Stainless grill outside. Pet friendly with many dogs in the neighborhood. It is important to keep your pet on a leash and keep them safe from falling in the Sound. Water Winds is bulkheaded so it drops from yard to Water with a low wall in between. Currently there is a ladder available to get in and out of the water at the end of the dock. There are also steps into the water for easy access and to get in and out of the kayaks.

Friendly neighbors will greet you as you walk about Holiday Island. Explore further with day trips to historic Hertford which has the oldest court house still in use. Take a step back in time and enjoy Steamers baseball in a wood stadiums with the original flip numbers, from bygone days. Then watch Bull Durham and see the similarities. Go to Edenton. Walk the town, go out on the docks and watch the boats and maybe get a boat tour of the Albemarle Sound. Take a motor trolley and get a history tour of Edenton. Learn the story of the lighthouse which was moved to its current site in Edenton. An hour and twenty minutes drive will see you to the Outer Banks for a day at the Atlantic Ocean. Kitty Hawk has a great area that is free to park and lifeguards on the beach and a excellent convenience area with showers. Walk to I've Got Your Crabs for fantastic seafood. When going through Elizabeth City stop by the Museum of the Albemarle for some history lessons. The museum is free of charge. Right across from the Museum is the Park with a scenic walk along the Water. Often you can watch sailing lessons and if you book ahead, take one yourself. On your way to the Outer Banks stop by H2OBX, a new WATER park with something for everyone. Then if you're ready for more history look up information on site X of the Lost colony, Interested in the story of Virginia Dare? The latest research says they moved inland 10 miles from Water Winds. Near site X is Bertie beach and see their plans for the future , take some fishing poles and enjoy the Water some more. For more insight into the Albemarle Sound towns and history go to YouTube and type in Exploring North Carolina Circumnavigating the Albemarle sound.

Peaceful location
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.

Five Weeks in Paradise…
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!

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!

Amazing!
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.

What a view!
My sisters and I were looking for a quiet, nicely appointed house with a water view and that's exactly what we got with WaterWinds! We enjoyed our view of the Albemarle Sound from the dock, the deck, and from the family room couch! The water was everything from wavy with white caps to calm and smooth as glass (with a great dolphin show!). Lots of birds to enjoy as well. Would recommend 100%!

I would give 10 stars
Waterwinds deserves 10 stars. It’s like a hidden jewel. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. We stayed for a month with our little dogs. It’s on the water and felt like we were at a bird sanctuary. A mating pair of Osprey occupied the nest and tree about 20’ offshore. Witnessed the male dive and catch a fish from the deck. The house has everything one could hope for. Gorgeous kitchen and living area. Lots of windows so staying inside during a rainy day was not a hardship. Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Will definitely come back next year, if they’ll have us!

This property was perfect, it had everything needed for our family, fishing for the fisherman, wildlife for the nature lover, and quite comfortable place with wonderful view for the reader in the family. Beth thought of everything to make this a easy vacation, even ice packs for the picnic cooler. Will keep this on my list of return properties for relaxing vacation. Enjoyed the home and location. Beth you are a hands on host, with quick response and good communication skills. Thanks for sharing you vacation home. Pam

Water Winds
Positive: Nice property. Good location on the Albemarle. Really enjoyed the view. Good place to relax. Gouse was comfortable. Negative: (1) Grass was quite high when we checkd in on a Saturday. Didnt cut it until Tuesday night. (2) Unit had a problem with ants. Picked up ant spray and sprayed a couple of times, but didnt seem to help. (3) neighbors (teenagers and dog) in the house next to us were fishing off the sea wall on the property. Asked if they had an agreement with the owner, but got no reply, which seemed to be the norm...not certain. Overall a good stay. Would visit again.

Perfect place for just staying in when weather wont allow or you just don't feel like going anywhere. Plenty of things to do right there whether it be watching a movie, riding a bike, or best yet, watching weather, birds, and any other surprises out the windows that span the whole sound side of the living room!
