This home was a clean, comfortable and perfect place to stay for our weekend getaway for a family wedding. It’s on the water and in a quiet neighborhood but yet it was very close to the uptown wedding rehearsal dinner @Hackneys and to the reception at the Mulberry House on Main Street. Would love to return at a later date to tour the town.

Greatly enjoyed our stay at the Sterling House. Spent evenings on rear porch looking out to the Pamlico River. Walked into town for lunch, dinner or just to meander along the riverfront. William was a wonderful host.

This is a lovely home in a peaceful location. Set on the river, it was a soothing place to wake up in the morning. The host provided everything we needed for our two night stay. Washington, NC offers a rich history with wonderful shops and restaurants.

Cute old house in a historical community on the river. The owner was very helpful. Unfortunately when we got there the a/c was on 75 and it took us all night to get it cooled off in the house. Then we found cockroaches in the kitchen. The house could use some updating. Update the furniture and artwork on the walls it would be a perfect place to stay

Check in and check out could not have been any easier. Home was exactly as pictured. The back porch view and experience were exceptional. We enjoyed the short walk to downtown and the water front park. The restaurants we visited were superb. Don’t miss prime rib night at The Bank Bistro. What a lovely home and a beautiful small town.

Our stay was fantastic! What a beautiful house with fantastic view of the Pamlico River! William was available to answer any questions prior our stay through the Vrbo online tool! I would highly recommend this property as a pleasant and relaxing place to stay. It is very convenient to downtown as well as the river boardwalk. I can’t say enough great things about William and his property! Both are 5 star along with two very big two thumbs up!!!

We had an incredible stay in Washington to visit my sister who lives in nearby Greenville. We wanted something that was quiet and felt like a mini-vacation getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of a larger town. This property was absolute perfection. William is an incredible host - accommodating, communicative, and respectful of privacy. We can't wait to stay again. We fell in love with the small-town charm of this house and this town! We will definitely be coming back for another visit.

My wife and I spent a weekend there with our two dogs. There's a great backyard space where they can run, with a nice view of the water. The place was super clean and William couldn't have made check-in and check out any easier. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood on a one way street ... a manageable walk to the Washington downtown/waterfront, or about a 3 minute drive to there if your stay is as rainy as ours unfortunately was! Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for a place that is dog friendly.

The Sterling house a charming historical home and has a backyard that is right on the river. We loved the room off the porch where you can watch the ever changing wind and currents. The location is walkable to downtown but allow enough time. William was very helpful with information for our side trip to New Bern and locations of the local grocery stores. We appreciated the parking space beside the house and having a washer and dryer. Don't miss the river walk and the great restaurants downtown. A perfect home away from home.

We found the Sterling House to be extremely welcoming, clean while offering relaxing waterfront views. From the quaint front porch sitting to back porch relaxation looking out over the water, both created a very relaxing environment. Out stay kept us in the historic district and, for us, just a short drive with plenty of parking availability downtown made this easy. We could have made a walk in about 10 to 15 minutes but for this trip we elected to drive. William was an excellent host bei g extremely responsive to any inquiry and even keeping us updates on weather conditions for our outing plans.

We had such a nice stay, the home was lovely and peaceful. The owners were so nice. Everything was perfect. A short walk or drive into downtown, a fishing pier. We found a restaurant we loved called Blu. Can’t wait to go back for another stay.

We were so pleased with this home and its owners. The home is quite lovely, with comfortable furnishings, all the amenities that we needed, and was pet friendly as well. The location close to the historic district, quaint shops, and the water, was perfect, with a rear porch overlooking the water. The arrival and departure requirements were minimal. The home was super clean and fresh. Even with four of us, we always had hot water for showering. Our only change would be to move the TV into the larger family room, as the living room was a bit small for all our of us. We plan to stay here again soon.

We needed a short vacation to de-stress and this was perfect. We could sit on the deck and enjoy the view. The town has several nice restaurants and we tried 4 of them. All had delicious food. There was a park nearby and a beautiful river walk.

We spent a easy and comfortable few days at The Sterling house. William had dog beds and food bowls ready for us. There is a big yard (unfenced) and a large, grassy dog park a 10 min walk or 2 min drive. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and an awesome back porch with a view to eat and visit on. Thanks William!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. The house was clean and comfortable and within walking distance of Historic Downtown Washington. We had a great dinner at The Bank Bistro and a fun lunch at Backwater Jacks, down the street. We kayaked at Masons Landing and Goose Creek, both close by. Overall a great getaway weekend!

It was a nice and quite place at which to get away for a few days. Enjoyed the serenity and quietness of the back porch, sea gulls on the posts of old docks; a few ducks and Canada geese flew over the edge of the water; and saw a few boats on the water, as well as a paddle-boarder. It was all very nice.

Excellent gem of a place!

We were only there a few short days but loved this property. It was very clean and nice inside and though remodeled, it kept the charm of being old. The view of the river was great. There is a drive for parking and it is close to a quaint downtown. We also loved how convenient it was to get to Greenville, New Bern and other places. Would recommend renting this again! William was very prompt on responses and even turned on the porch light for us when we got in later on arrival.

The property was comfortable, relaxing and charming. I could have stayed on the back porch swing forever. It was a perfect home base to explore the area from Bath to New Bern. I was on a weekend getaway from the triangle and the ability to escape the traffic and crowds was just what we needed. Thanks to William for providing this most excellent relaxing getaway.

Lovely house in a residential neighborhood. The house is older but has had some wonderful upgrades. The house was clean, had plentiful supplies and amenities. The pictures are an accurate reflection of the space. The back deck and backyard were our favorite features. Enjoyed lounging and looking at the view of the river. We enjoyed fishing at the river as well.

We did not want to leave!

This is by far one the best places we've ever stayed! From the minute we walked up the steps and yay we have found the perfect place. Our host, William, stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process. The house was immaculate and the view was to die for. I loved the neighborhood and everyone was so friendly. This was a fantastic place to walk and the place was I got to bring our dog with us. There was even a dog bed and bowls! One of the best touches was the bag of Starbucks coffee and creamer for our enjoyment. Everything about this house was warm and inviting. It was so hard packing up and leaving because we love this place so much.

My husband and I had the good fortune to stay at Sterling House for 10 days. Our host William was very welcoming and knowledgeable about what to do and see in Washington and the surrounding area. The house was immaculate and provided everything you may need. It is situated in the Historic District and it is a lovely stroll to downtown where there are several good restaurants and plenty of shops. Perhaps the best feature of all is the lovely view of the river from the back deck! Both Washington and Sterling House are both are charming.
