About this property

RIvershore Retreat-Hunting, Fishing, Sailing-Kayakers DREAM!


Rivershore Retreat on Big Creek - 170 Gertrude Lane, Beaufort NC 28516
Whether you enjoy fishing, crabbing, kayaking, hunting or just laying on the beach—”Rivershore Retreat” is the place for you! Our beaches are pristine and not crowded - laid back and easy going.....

Come stay with us for a week or a weekend and enjoy our secluded area and beaches. BRING YOUR BOAT/KAYAK or use our kayaks- WE HAVE ADDED A BOAT RAMP FOR OUR GUESTS!!!! Depending on length of your boat and the tide you should be able to launch right there!!!! We have a place for you to dock your boat 20 feet from where you lay your head down to sleep! (The beach area in my pictures is accessible by about a 10 minute BOAT ride!) Access to beaches and 30 minute BOAT ride across the river to Oriental to enjoy lunch or an ice cream or just doing the tourist thing. Explore our many creeks and visit Lukens Cemetery. This is a kayaker/sailboaters’ dream! ( I have written instructions in the rental on how to get to a awesome little beach about 5 minutes from us and you can drive there! So if you don't have a boat - you can still enjoy our pristine beaches!)

If quiet and solitude is what you are after—this is your place. No hustle and bustle. Small community life with nice folks and a church to attend on Sunday morning if you are so inclined.

Read a book on the porch and just relax! Ride out on “The River” and watch the sunset or just watch it from the porch! We have just completed a new sundeck and screened in porch! It's quite fabulous!!!!
Three bedrooms and two full baths mobile home—Newly renovated master bath!! Full kitchen and washer and dryer for your convenience. All decorated with a coastal flair!!! Wi-Fi included and DishTV and land line phone.

We look forward to sharing our paradise with you!

***Please keep in mind that this is a very secluded place - no hustle and bustle!!!! We do NOT have beach ON our property - the beach in my pictures is accessible by a short boat/kayak ride.......Just want to make sure that I point this out again!!!!!

Checkout by 11:00 a.m. - check in at 3:00 p.m. unless prior arrangements have been made..........Just call or message and ask!!! We are pretty easy to work with!

NOTES***If you are bringing pets we charge a nonrefundable pet fee. Please - no more than 2 pets. NO CATS!
Deposit will be returned if there are no damages. It will be automatically returned in 7 days. We ask that you leave everything like you found it.! We don’t charge a cleaning fee because all of our former renters leave everything great! As long as that’s the case we will continue not to charge the fee. The following will be deducted from deposit in the event of: Excessively dirty- $65 cleaning fee....Excessive dog hair $50.00...dirty dishes $25.00......Trash not taken out and put in outside cans...$10.00.......Thank you!

Weather issues are yet another issue for vacation rental owners to grapple with when it comes to potential cancellation requests. Although severe storms are out of our control, it’s fair to offer a refund to guests when a mandatory evacuation is given.
However, if guests are just unhappy due to bad weather – sorry – no refund. We cannot guarantee the weather for your trip and as long as you are able to use our home – a refund will not be issued.
If there is a hurricane or tropical storm and the State or County of Carteret order a mandatory evacuation a refund will be given for any unused portion of rent from a guest currently registered, any unused portion of rent from a guest that is scheduled to arrive and wants to shorten their stay and any advance rents collected or deposited for a reservation that is scheduled to arrive during the hurricane or tropical storm.
We will be willing to reschedule your trip in lieu of a refund for a later time if one is available.

No refunds will be given for rain, thunderstorms, snow, etc. ONLY for Hurricanes/Tropical Storms.

Great getaway

Solitude, serenity, and scenery! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy a quick trip out to eat or shopping in downtown Beaufort. Our stay was comfortable and very clean. The owners are really wonderful to work with and provided great recommendations.

AWESOME SPOT

We had such a great stay. Beautiful spot. the yard was huge and our Great Dane had so much fun running around. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved the secluded beach down the road so our dog could run. Will be going back next year!

We really enjoyed staying there. It was very quit

.The fish was awesome. There was a dock right by the house and there is a place right there that you can leave your boat all week and you can sew it from the house. One thing I love the most is that it is PET friendly.

Amazing

The home was great. Using the boat ramp allowed access to excellent fishing and a nice cruise to oriental by boat. Any grocery, shopping, and restaurants are a little drive but well worth the peace and quiet.

The property had a wonderful view and beach vibe. Quiet and serene surroundings. We all loved everything about it. The Host was very helpful with information and answering our questions regarding restaurants and attractions. We loved the front porch and actually ate all our meals on it. would definitely recommend it as a place to stay and visit again.

Great place to stay!! Newly remodeled three bedroom and two bath!! Awesome view!! Great boating and swimming or just taking it easy. You can put your canoe in the water less than 40 feet from the retreat and head to "the river"!! Quiet neighborhood!! Retreat has all of the necessities with WIFI with cable TV!! Huge deck on the front with an awesome view of the river!!

Don't let this one get away!

This is a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the tourist scene. The owners and their family are wonderful people, local and always available. No fuss with long distance landlords. Property is very clean and well maintained. Kayak and boat heaven. Great place to take the boat out to your own private beach. We have stayed here several times and cannot wait to go again.

Cute, lovely house in great location

My husband and I spent the weekend here on our anniversary and it was excellent. My favorite part of the house was the porch. It has a wonderful view of the river and we spent a lot of time relaxing out there. Our fishing charter even picked us up in front of the house right off the river! We have to travel with our 3 dogs and were able to do this easily here. It was a great experience. The house was very clean and we loved all the beach themed decorations.

Great Host and Wonderful Property

My family and dog enjoyed our stay at the Rivershore Retreat. Janie was readably available in communication and/or responsive in a timely manner. The property was quiet, well kept inside and out, and had nothing but excellent cleanliness and hospitality. It is much better in person than what a picture can depict. The property owner family is respectable and genuinely cares about their home, guests, and neighborhood. Great people, home grown environment, and feels like family. The home was beautiful, the grounds are well taken care of and the scenery and river access is phenomenal. Great place to stay and I would definetly visit again!

Boonies..

Though it's like 30 minutes or so from nearest store, it's great.peace and quiet.beautiful clear view of water. Water was a bit choppy for the men on the boat.but they caught a few fish.the screened in front porch is where we spent alot of time .i even took a nap on the wicker couch it was comfy lol.when I say boonies I mean it.u away from everything out there.it rained heavy on our last day.so it dampened my plans to explore downtown Beaufort area.but we will be back.

Truly a secluded hideaway

We really had a great stay. The property is lovely, secluded and super quiet. The hosts were very communicative and super nice about altering our stay when we had a change of plans. Our dogs loved romping in the yard and playing in the water. I will say that the expectations for cleaning were not clear in the listing. I don't mind tidying up after myself, but doing all the laundry and making the beds was not explained in my initial view of the property. Honestly didn't damage my view of the place. We would recommend, just budget the time it takes to wash and dry all the laundry before you leave!

South River

Trailer needs updates to the floor. The view and water access are both great. There was plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. "No hustle or bustle" was expected, but.....we were unaware of the red drum tournament. The neighbors all had boats join them and theirs, which led to alot of traffic and boats in and out of the area for 4 of our 7 days. We would stay again just not during 2nd week of August. FYI, the really nice beach in the photos is only accessible by kayak or real small boat due to the shallow sand bars.

Why they chose this property

This property sits between two pieces of land that my father in law owns - we just couldn't see letting it be sold out of the family so when our cousin decided to sell -we scooped it up!

What makes this property unique

Quiet peaceful - dock right on site - No hustle and bustle -
