Private Riverfront Retreat - Just outside of Town

Gated private and secluded riverfront oasis just outside of town with easy access to Interstate 17. Electronic gate to access the property. Property is protected by a privacy fence that extends all the way to the river and mature trees provide additional privacy. The house has river views from 2 bedrooms, a dining area, and a sunroom. If you want to enjoy the outside without being exposed to the heat there is a very large covered area to sit and enjoy cool breezes.

Excellent Property
The location and physical setup is well above average. Nice and secluded yet close to Elizabeth City and other sights closeby in Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and the Outer Banks. The house is well equipped kitchen-wise and appeared really clean until we lost a phone and searching into/under things revealed some less-than stellar cleanliness (typical hotel room cleaning pattern). We broke out the vacuum and gave it a good under-the sofa, chairs, beds, etc. cleaning. While there were an appropriate number of beds/bedrooms, bedtables and bedside lighting was insufficient in two of them. Overall, we really enjoyed our week at Pirates Treasure as it is a real gem locale-wise. The property owner let us in early and replied to queries quickly and kept us aware of things during our stay like the lawn service that week. Being river-side was beautiful and we could image the fun and activities to be had when the temperatures come up. Lots of games, water equipment etc. available for use at the property. BTW if you are looking for wood for the firepit at the base of the wharf, it can be purchased at Lowe's in Elizabeth City. We had a number of great evening fires.

Beautiful, relaxing home
Our family enjoyed this home. Because of the bad weather we were unable to enjoy all that they have available to enjoy the water. I got the most beautiful pictures of the sunset right from the back porch. The girls also enjoyed having a room for them to hang out. It was also so peaceful there.

A hidden GEM!
We had the most wonderful time with our family here. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, having bonfires at night and making s’mores, arcade games in the game room and cooking on the grill. We made some special memories here in this very clean, well equipped home that is a hidden GEM. We loved it and appreciate the hosts so much!

Happy days in Nixonton.
This house is in the country outside of Elizabeth City and is so quiet and a real FIND. Beautiful inside and great view outside. Always a nice breeze under the large carport. Awesome streaming service on all four TVs. Comfortable beds and furniture. Kitchen was well equipped (Icemaker and Keurig coffee. We highly recommend Pirates Treasure.

Working on the lake
This property was actually very beautiful. It had everything we needed. The gate did break half way through the stay as the owners had already mentioned they had been having trouble. The work space was great for I. Although this is a no pet household, I have a service dog and in the vrbo rules it says I didn’t not need to list I had a pet. They then required me to send proof of the certificate; which is against the law to even ask me to show them service dog registration; but I did with no problem. They then said they were missing a remote but couldn’t tell me which exact remote was missing. All and all it was a great stay but I don’t think I’d be staying here again as the owners didn’t know the rules.
