Labor Day Getaway

We had a wonderful experience from sart to finish! Great communication from the owners, the round house (so fun!) is clean and well appointed with tons of toys and games for the kids. The decks and dock offer amazing views and lounge spaces. The location is fabulous - very close to restaurants, Food Lion and the marina. The weather was just beautiful. We will try to make it back next year :)

The roundhouse retreat 10/10

If you like margaritas and sunsets this is the house for you. This house was absolutely amazing! It was everything we could’ve asked for and more! The sunsets were beautiful every night, with such a great location. They had a great patio area, with an outdoor kitchen and smokeless fire pit. The inside kitchen was great too, especially if you love to cook! The pool table downstairs was a very fun area to go to after a long day at the lake. The double dock was great for fishing, swimming and laying out. The hosts were very tentative when we had questions and were very nice! This is a house we will definitely stay in again.

Best Family Vacation!

We had an amazing time and the house lived up to it’s name! Check in was a smooth process. They had a helpful book with details about the house and the area. The house was fully stocked with towels, cleaning supplies, spices, dishes & flatware, large capacity washer & dryer, and pretty much anything you’d need. The grocery store was very close. Everything was clean and organized inside and out. The views of the lake were spectacular. The newly back hardscape and landscape was fantastic. We had a choice of either using a gas grill or an Acorn charcoal grill/smoker. There was also a Breeo smokeless fire pit that we cooked s’mores on. We enjoyed family meals, had a lot of laughs, smiles, played games (they had tons of games!), played pool, and explored the lake in a rental boat. We also were able to bring our family dogs. They were so accommodating with providing dog bowls on each level of the house. The neighbors were extremely friendly too. The last night of the vacation my children told me that the week went way to fast. That is definitely a sign of a great vacation!! We will be back in the near future for sure.

Memorial Day weekend

My family of seven adults and two toddlers spent the weekend at this beautiful property. The home fit us perfectly. There was plenty of room to spread out with four large bedrooms and four full baths. The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances, plenty of glasses, dishes and cutlery. There were nice linens as well. And everything was so clean! We never left the property after we arrived. (We didn’t need to) Unfortunately, we had bad weather the entire weekend: cool, rainy, misty and overcast. So we were not able to enjoy the outdoors like we wanted. The sandy beach, the fire pit, and outdoor kitchen, the slate patio, the dock, kayaks, paddle board, the lighting - all looked fabulous. We still had a wonderful weekend - we cooked, we ate, we laughed ourselves silly playing games in the evenings. The owners provided lots of information about the property and were easy to contact if needed. We have absolutely no complaints about this property and would definitely rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Diane (919) 247-4703 and Rob (919) 272-1140

We're from the Raleigh area for the last 18 years, but Rob is originally from NJ and Diane is originally from CA. We met at San Diego State University and we've been married 30 years this year!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because of the family atmosphere, AMAZING sunset and lake views all year, the proximity to Raleigh and the ability to do several water sports in one day if we want!!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique first of all because of the ROUND HOUSE SHAPE! Have you ever stayed in a round house? You can see the lake upstairs and downstairs from many windows. The outdoor patio with outdoor kitchen, dining for 10, fire pit, string lights and eye-catching views and sunsets will make you never want to eat inside again! Also we made an area we call HAMMOCK HILL which has a double hammock hanging there waiting for you and your honey to relax and take in the views. Also, our PERSONAL BEACH is grandfathered into the property so new home builds cannot have this feature.
