Relaxing getaway
We selected this location, in part, because it was close to home but provided a nice change of scenery. The home was decorated nicely and was well-laid out, especially for older folks like ourselves. My husband enjoyed the fishing area and was very pleased with the dock. There were historical places in both Oriental and New Bern, which also provided nice restaurants. We would stay here again. Thank you.

Exceeded Expectations
The house does not give the feel of a beach or lake home because of the older design and layout however the location and tranquil setting was fantastic and more than made up for the feel of the home. All the neighbors were very welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home. Wished the home was available for the two weeks we were staying in the area.

Oriental Getaway
This is a great place to stay in Oriental for a group. Very private place right on the water with a nice little dock and an amazing view. Plenty of space inside and out to relax and enjoy. The screened-in porch was great when the skeeters came out; otherwise, we spent most of our time sitting on the dock in the Adirondack chairs. We had the most beautiful sunset one evening, everyone was sure we had photoshopped it. We also saw a red fox, deer, jelly fish, dolphins, and blue crabs. Will definitely stay here next time we visit.

Girl's Getaway
My friends and I spend our time taking care of others in our professions, as well as caring for family. This weekend was all about us relaxing and taking care of ourselves. The view was wonderful and beds SO comfortable. There were a couple of minor cleaning issues which we shared with the management company so that they could address with their cleaners. We had a relaxing time and the home was beautiful.

Great time held by all!! Rented this property with my parents, as we were in town for our family reunion. We loved the space and the water. It was close to all the festivities. After the festivities were over, we spent a few days relaxing and fishing. Check in process was a breeze.

Great place; some quirks
Loved the house - very clean and upscale with accurate descriptions. However, the booking was through a third party that was wildly inconvenient (including having to pick up a physical key FROM their office, which is not very close to the house). They also gave my contact information to a solicitor, who called me trying to sell services.

Fantastic girls weekend
Super large home. Very clean. Beautiful view. House was being built beside us and neighbors had a camper in their back yard that was slightly distracting, but they were nice and their pups were super sweet. Would definitely go back again if seeking a quiet, peaceful retreat.

Quick getaway
We had a great time at the gathering place . Spent the days exploring local areas as well as morehead city areas. Found great fresh seafood to cook up in evening (endurance seafood in oriental ( fresh shrimp), Willis (pine knoll shores grouper) and garland fulcher ( Oriental, flounder). It was relaxing to fish off the dock and check our crab traps ( got 5 but released them). House was very clean. As noted in property description there was some construction noise but it did not bother us and was quiet in evening. Would go back again!

Family Trip
We enjoyed being in Oriental and staying at the Gathering Place. The sunsets were amazing as was the breeze. The grass needed to be cut and there was no access to the water-a dock but no ladder to get out of the water. It was advertised as having 3 queen beds but 2 of the beds were full sized. The master bedroom internet/tv went out. Overall we had a great trip!

Three Vietnam Veterans with our wives, The Gathering Place was everything we needed or could want,
Spacious, comfortable and quiet, one of the best places we have visited. Absolutely loved the lay back feel of the community. The cable connection in the master should be checked constantly lost connection, pretty sure it is minor. The water from views were fantastic. Highly recommend for those seeking a quiet relaxing getaway in a lovely community. Thanks Bob, we just hit a cool windy week, but not the norm.

Loved it!
This was a great location and a great property! We had 3 couples who fished, played cornhole and relaxed for a long weekend. We all loved the house and we had plenty of room for privacy. We would definitely return! The online listing stated the house has a Keurig coffeepot so we all brought k-cups only to find a regular drip coffee pot so we had to make another trip to the store to get coffee. We also could not find a wine opener or blender. Still overall a great trip!
