Comedy of errors first day

….. but owners were awesome! First I couldn’t understand the lock box, and of course, right after calling, I figured it out, sooooo, sorry for the numb brain call, second, we wanted to watch Game 7 Stanley Cup, couldn’t figure out the Roku stuff, we don’t have Roku, unfamiliar territory, but they walked us through it in a huge laughter event. After that, our stay was still awesome, no hitches no glitches. Neighbors were nice, town was friendly, views on river spectacular. Town was as special place for my girlfriend, grew up there family vacations since a child. I’m glad I made the call. Thanks folks Kevin and Susan

Perfect home away from home

It was amazing!! The house was perfect and so much local charm. I rode a bike which I haven’t done since I was child. The house felt like my grandparents summer home and was so welcoming. Thank you for sharing your families home. Highly recommended hopefully we will be returning again sometime

The most relaxing place ever

From the moment we pulled in the driveway we could tell that this was going to be a great place. The porch to sit on, screened in porch to relax on, peaceful location, great yard - it was incredible. It is close enough to everything to be convenient but in a quiet neighborhood. This is my new favorite place. We slept great, the pups slept great after playing in the backyard and we could walk to the marina. This was a little slice of heaven.

Comfortable and quaint

We enjoyed our stay at the Pugh House for a work/short vacation trip. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the owner reached out to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The house was ideally located--close to restaurants, shops, water front; and the people of Oriental were very friendly and welcoming!

Charming wonderful experience

My husband and I could not have asked for any better place to stay. The place felt like home immediately when we opened the door. Well stocked with more then you would need for our stay. Very clean and close to the perfect little beach and park on the water with chairs along the water way to watch the boats and read a good book. Walking distance to all restaurants and shops and docks. Bikes we provided to ride everywhere we wanted to go. Quiet neighborhood for walking our dog. Just didn't want to leave. The house is beautiful inside and out. The owners were available for any questions to be answered. Just felt like a forever home. Thank you for letting us enjoy one of the best times of our lives.

Comfortable and Charming

We loved our stay in this lovely older but updated home in historic Oriental. The house had so much charm and personality. We found everything we needed for our stay. The location is great... walking distance to the waterfront and most anything you would want to do in Oriental, including some good restaurants and a brewery.

Oriental sailing camp

Well maintained older home. With 4 teens and tweens the sparsity of electrical outlets for charging phones, watched and I-pads was a challenge. Loved the screened in porch with swing and the availability of bicycles. Kids rode to camp each day and to a nearby park. All good except Oriental municipal water!

Oriental Gem

The Pugh House was a great spot to spend a relaxing month in Oriental. It had a cottage feel about it, with lots of spots to watch TV or read a book. There was a huge fenced back yard that our dog loved exploring and racing around at top speed. A short walk to the small downtown and several restaurants, though we did a lot of cooking, too, and enjoyed the fresh local shrimp and sea scallops.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Tointon

My brother David and I were willed our grandparents home when our father passed away in 1996. We rent it selectively so we can keep the place in the family.

Why they chose this property

This property was home to our great grandparents, our grandparents and is where our father grew up. We spent a lot of time there and continue to have wonderful memories there with our own families. With the numerous songbirds, 100 year old pecan trees and the original tin roof, you may want to stay a while.

What makes this property unique

Much of the furnishings are original pieces and photos of the Pugh family are scattered in the home. It is a special place and we welcome you to make your own memories there. It is a peaceful place and very relaxing. Use of the cruiser bikes is a wonderful benefit. Riding around the town on a bike is the best way to see it.
