Frequently Asked Questions and Notes
1. Is the water safe to swim in? Are there sharks?

Answer: No sharks that I have ever seen in 16 years. Yes, it’s safe. You hear about lakes that have bacteria floating around and persons get infected. Not so on the Sound…the water is too huge and always churning.

2. Is there sand at Cypress Shores rental?

Answer: Yes, the Sound itself has pure sandy bottoms just like the ocean side when you put your toes in the sand. Unfortunately we don’t have a beach front, we have bulkheads that protect the property, typical for Sound side. The view is still spectacular.

3. Are there fish in the Sound?

Answer: Absolutely. In summer months (starting in June) large fish actually jump/hop out of the water in late evenings. You can see this on any nice evening in the summer. Fishing is best in the spring, summer, fall.

4. Can I fish off the pier?

Answer: If you have a fishing license you can.

5. Can I launch a boat at Cypress Shores?

Answer: You can launch a boat from Mackey’s marina (about a mile away), they have a boat slip. For a small canoe or kayak you can lunch from the back yard of Cypress Shores. If you can carry it, you can launch it.

6. Are jet skis used on the Sound?
Answer: Absolutely, if you have one. I’d go out on a calm day, otherwise you’re going to have a sore behind. Note: Jetskiis are not available on this property your use.

7. How deep is the water off the pier?

Answer: It’s about 4-5 ft deep, depending on tide. There’s ladder access directly to the water from the pier.

8. Why does it cost so much to rent for a week at Cypress Shores?

Answer: Actually it’s moderately if not cheaply priced. Compare this price per day to that of hotels, you’re find its about the same. Yet a hotel is a cramped bedroom and bath where-as Cypress Shores is very large. Also, living on the water is very expensive, from taxes, insurance, to upkeep. With hurricane Irene we lost all planks from the pier and needed 22 dump trucks to fill the hole made in the back yard and 1 tractor-trailer of sod. It was expensive.

9. Is it quiet at Cypress Shores?

Answer: Yes indeed. Cypress Shores is more for those persons or families that do not wish to have too much commercialism and heavy traffic and persons walking through yards. It’s very quiet with home owners. There’s large tracks of farmland on the front side, and nothing but water in the backyard. I can’t think of a better place to relax.

10. Is the water from the facets at Cypress Shores safe to drink?

Answer: Yes, it's municipal water. We prefer bottled water for drinking, but everyone has different tastes. Water is on the township water system, with good water pressure for showers.

11. Can I bring my very small dog with me to Cypress Shores?

Answer: Sorry, no. Totally against our rules. We must keep this place free of animals for those persons, including ourselves, with allergies.

12. What if we have more than 8 persons coming with us?

Answer: Send me a note on HomeAway and explain. It may be that we grant an exception in certain situations.

13. Are there enough games and things to keep us entertained at Cypress Shores?

Answer: We have many games and some arcades. There’s lots to do at Cypress Shores, from biking, swimming, fishing, cook-outs, etc.; however, what you must know is that it’s not necessarily the place that determines if you have a good time, it’s the people you’re with. They make it fun. Of course the environment helps.


14. Are there local stores to get grocery items?

Answer: Yes, only 15-20 away is Edenton and Plymouth. Both have at least 2 large grocery stores. Whichever way you come in, you’ll pass at least one.

15. Is there Air-conditioning at this home?

Answer: Absolutely, not just one large central unit, but two main units covering the 4 levels.

16. Is this home as beautiful as the pictures on your web site?

Answer: It’s identical, there’s how I took the pictures….with my camera phone. It’s the same as pictured.
