About this property

Steps from the water with a private dock, a big relaxing porch & great amenities

Our cute and cozy cabin is steps from the water of Back Creek.
Bring your boat and come out for a relaxing stay! Don't forget the poles. There's plenty of fish right out your front door.
The cabin itself has all the comforts of home. It is open spaced with a full kitchen, queen bed and two chairs that convert into single cots.
Our peaceful porch is perfect for a cookout, napping on our lounge for two with mosquito netting or just watching the fish jump.
The space
The picturesque and quiet town of Bath is North Carolina’s oldest town and port of entry. Bath is home to less than 300 folks and was the stomping grounds of Edward Teach, the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
Located on the Pamlico river, there is water everywhere.
Our property is peaceful and serene with a large and inviting porch. Our home sits on the back of the property while the cabin is steps from the water and dock.
Our cabin is designed for two or a small family. While we can sleep four, it is one open space with no bedroom for privacy. You can bring 4 adults, but the chairs that convert to cots aren’t great for older backs and we DO NOT recommend unless you want to tough it out. Children will sleep just fine.
We are in walking distance to all that Bath has to offer. There is a visitor’s center, two restaurants, a store, shops and several historic sites. We’ve even got an ABC store!
Goose Creek State Park is only 6 miles away. It has beautiful hiking trails and private sandy beaches.
We hope to host you soon!

This was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. We wanted to unwind after the holidays. The cabin was so quaint, it had everything you could think of and more. Being on the water, sitting on the deck or porch was so relaxing. The hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back.

Another Great Visit

This was my second time staying at Carmen and Darryl’s Bath cottage, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It’s comfortable, clean, peaceful, in a beautiful setting, and convenient for me to visit with family. I’ll very likely return.

The house was in a quiet neighborhood. The scene from the back porch was very calming. Nice, on the water views. A great place if you need some quiet time away from people.

Delightful weekend getaway

Couldn't have asked for a lovelier place to stay! Communication was excellent. The cabin was adorable, with plenty of room for the two of us (the back porch was a big hit). And being in town during Bath Fest was a huge plus. 10/10 would stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Darryl and Carmen

Host profile image
We are transplants from California. We love it here and we’re never going back except to visit our massive family.
We are very outgoing, friendly and happy people. We have met the nicest folks and have made lifelong friends with our rentals. We enjoy every aspect of hosting and treat all of our guests like family.
We’re simple laidback folks with a quirk or two. Who isn’t quirky? We love to host and entertain and meet people from all walks of life. When can we meet you?

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Bath the 1st time we visited and hoped that one day we could live here.
When we came to view the property a year later, we knew we found home.

What makes this property unique

Our place is special because we are on the water with a private dock. The porch is perfect for relaxing and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.
We’re sure you’ll love it as much as we do!
