About this property

Rivendock Rookery II: Waterfront Home w/Dock & Stunning Views

"WOW!!!" It's everyone's first word as they step into this peaceful, harmonious vacation home filled with windows and light. Singularly magnificent water views pair with professionally curated decor and amenities to rocket this vacation retreat to the top of your list. In Oriental, the sailing capital of NC, many homes can boast pretty spectacular water views. However, Rivendock Rookery II moves beyond this--its view encompasses everything that makes the area iconic to boaters and nature lovers: the mighty river, the statuesque frame of the Robert Scott bridge, the friendly and boat-speckled waters of Green's Creek, and finally, the generous personal waterfront that forms the prow of the property. That transition is quickly becoming a metaphor for what this magical place imparts to guests--they can quickly move away from the overwhelm of life to a place where they can greet challenges anew with a healthier perspective because of what Nature offers. The sun's warmth and the river breezes will encourage you to take a deep breath, to relax, and to begin that journey. Tune into the natural world and seek to spot a pod of dolphins or a group of skates fishing collectively. Sway your cares away on the hammock, swing your legs like a kid while you fish from the dock, observe the nesting birds on the nearby aerie or enjoy the simple pleasure of roasting marshmallows with family or friends at the fire pit.
Just 6 minutes away is the quaint and truly lovely Village of Oriental, where you can find unique shopping, dining, entertainment, boat rentals and lessons and even an award winning brewery! Day trips to Atlantic Beach and New Bern are within easy reach as well. So come kick off your flip-flops and relax awhile. We'd love to have you!
Please note for security, there are 4 exterior cameras; they cover a view from the approach, under the house, and out to the water and also the yard.

Spectacular Retreat!!
I was looking for a quiet, serene and beautiful place to take a personal retreat. This home was all that and more. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and has water views from every room. It is even better than the pictures. The kitchen was open, bright and airy and a joy to cook in. The bed and linens were so comfortable. The property is beautiful, the position on the water is perfect, sitting on the doc with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine was lovely. The sunset and sunrise was breathtaking. Unfortunately, some bad weather came about, but the host was more than helpful and things went smoothly. I can't wait to come back and visit again!

Dolphins and rainbows
This house is fantastic! We saw dolphins and a rainbow on our first night. We love the small-town vibes of Oriental, plus the sailing day camp is a must if you have littles.

Relaxing on the water
Property was as described. Beds and furniture were comfortable and clean. Water views were great. Perfect location for being on the water and a quick boat road to the ocean. The sunroom was great and was cool enough in the morning to enjoy the water with a cup of coffee. My family will definitly stay here again.
