Romantic Waterfront Carriage House in Heart of Edenton's Historic District
About this bed and breakfast
Situated in Edenton, this charming bed and breakfast for $245 per night is a great option for your next break. The perfect couples retreat! Location, Location, Location! Park your car and grab your walking shoes, a bike or a kayak. You will be staying on the prettiest historic waterfront street in Edenton , surrounded by shops, restaurants, art galleries and historical sites. Step out your front door and toss a fishing pole in the Bay, take a stroll over the charming wooden bridge, launch your own kayak or rent one from the town then after enjoy a picnic on the lush historic Green in front of our magnificent courthouse. It's all just steps from your door. Perhaps you just want to relax or explore the rich history that Edenton is famous for. Whatever you choose to do, Burch House is the ideal historic waterfront location. You are very welcome to also enjoy the view from the front porch of the main house as sailboats glide across the Albemarle Sound and perhaps take a stroll in the park just across the street. In a place where porch sitting is an art, indeed often in the evenings as the Sun gently sets over the water you can see how special this incredible and rare place is. Being protected and shielded from the modern world in many ways, the essence of small town living and being one of the true historical destinations where the very ideals of America were born before the Revolution and set into motion by Penelope Barker herself still hangs in the sweet Southern air along with the Magnolia blossoms and Jasmine. My friends, you absolutely will feel what it really must have felt like hundreds of years ago when this house was built when sitting in our rocking chairs looking out upon the day and into the fire fly lit up evenings and can easily imagine a time that is truly now, Gone with the Wind. ( yes we borrowed that from Margret Mitchell) In addition to the main house front porch views, also prepare to be impressed as you sit on your private courtyard patio. Relax to the sounds of the water fountain just outside your door. In the morning you may want to sip coffee to the sounds of the many birds that call our lovely yard home. Evening brings gas lanterns to light your way through the courtyard leading to your completely remodeled and comfortable home away from home. Inside you will snuggle by the fireplace and enjoy the water view from your king bed suite. Interior designer, David Stevenson has created an incredibly homey yet stylish environment by brilliantly combining new and antique furnishings and decor, all with a nod to our coastal location. You will find the downstairs living room to be a happy and fun place to unwind with a cheerful aqua sofa, antique secretary, funky crystal chandelier and overstuffed swivel rockers. Not to mention the custom made fireplace, window treatments, and the garden view, Soft hues exude tranquility and restfulness in the upstairs king bed suite. Lush monogrammed robes, fine linens and even candles are provided for your comfort and relaxation. Goody baskets await you in the kitchen and your every need has been well thought out and provided in advance. Extras such as flowers, a spa day here in town, coupled with easy drive day trips to the beaches of the Outer Banks, great golf, the historic narrated trolley tours, private dinner on the deck, or small occasion garden parties, vow renewals, weddings and surprise engagements can be arranged by our accredited event and wedding planner. Also kayaks for rent and boat tours can be enjoyed best to explore the area by water just a couple of blocks down Water St. by the lighthouse. Burch House By The Bay is not just a vacation rental, it's an experience and one we trust will be a wonderful memory for years to come.

We are frequent visitors to Edenton and exclusively stay at this or its’ sister property. Both properties are beautifully decorated and scrupulously clean and well appointed. The host is a phone call and a few steps away. The location is easily walkable to all of the downtown attractions. I can’t recommend the property highly enough!!

We just completed our stay in the Carriage House with the most wonderful Judy Burch and her son Hunter. The place itself was beautiful with everything you could possibly need near at hand. The view from the Front Porch was also delightful. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Edenton, NC. The town itself is so historic and beautiful and the people so friendly I think everyone should visit! When you're visiting you can't go wrong with a stay in the carriage house!!!

We have been to Edenton several times since discovering it in 2021, having stayed at The Carriage House every time. The porch views of the Albemarle Sound are breathtaking! You will enjoy shopping on Main Street ( 5 min walk), the friendly folks and close restaurants. If you are a history buff there is much to see and learn about in this charming town.

This carriage house is exactly as described and pictured. Location is walking distance to many restaurants & Shopping. Our favorite eatery was Herringbones. Hunter was a pleasure to work with while booking our stay.
There is a self guided tour to some very interesting history in Edenton.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Communication with the owner was great. The city has a lot to offer and we especially loved the kindness of the people. If we have the time we will definitely return!

Listing just as described. Beautiful cottage with all that is needed for a weekend stay. Historic sites within walking distance and tasty restaurants to end the day. Nightcaps on the front porch with a glass of wine to enjoy the view was our favorite part. Would not hesitate to book again.

You can take the girl out of Edenton, but you can never take Edenton out of the girl. I found myself needing to return to my childhood hometown due to a family situation. It had been more than 20 years since my last visit, and I was delighted to find this particular carriage house property on Water Street, as I know the area well. My communications with the owner/property manager were always prompt and professional. I found the cottage to be more than I could have even hoped for, and traveling alone, I immediately felt right at home and very comfortable. The family dog was an unexpected bonus and his puppy kisses were much appreciated. I will undoubtedly find myself going back to Edenton more frequently in the coming years and this will be my single “go to” property. I would encourage anyone who is visiting the area to book Burch House By The Bay and surround themselves with the true feel of a beautiful, colonial town known as “The Prettiest Small Town in the South.”

The carriage house was just as it appeared online. Judy, our host, greeted us when we arrived. She was a delight and part of the reason we will return. The property was beautiful and the weekend very relaxing, which is just what we wanted!

As described in listing! Great location, pretty waterfront setting, walkable to all historic areas. For us, Not the warmest weather while visiting (really just passing through) so did not take advantage the outdoor amenities. Interior is gorgeous with beautiful furnishings and many thoughtful touches. Entry at ground level to a nice sitting room. Upstairs is found the bedroom, bathroom & kitchenette, all very tasteful and homey.
Streaming worked well on the only TV which is upstairs. Pros: walkable, comfortable furniture, lovely setting, nice coffee machine, & great linens. Cons: Not really cons but worth mentioning: the primary living quarters are on the 2nd floor reached by stairs only. The driveway is narrow and turn around is tight, but manageable, quite common in these historic properties.

Judy was an excellent host! Easy to communicate with upon arrival. I stayed here for my wedding in Edenton and it was the perfect bridal suite! Perfect for getting ready pictures and tons of spots for outlets, multiple mirrors and folks to sit and have coffee and breakfast with me while we all got ready. I wish I could stay here everytime I come to Edenton!

The community is terrific as are the property owners. The property is beautiful and close to everything. The owners were anxious to please and very generous but allowing for privacy. The only surprise was all the living space (bedroom, kitchen and bath are upstairs)

Judy and Buddy are the perfect hosts and the carriage house is a wonderful home away from home! The property is beautifully appointed and super clean with a lovely courtyard and just steps from the Ablemarle Sound. It is located within walking distance to the quaint downtown area with shops and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked and included a welcome basket. Didn't want to leave.

Meticulous carriage house in the quaint historic town of Edenton. Hosts provided bicycles and kayaks and invited us to use their front porch to relax with a book or "people watch" or simply enjoy the view of Edenton Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Burch House and loved meeting all the locals who shared the rich history of Edenton.

Burch Carriage House was beautifully located on the waterfront with indescribable Sound and river views. So convenient to the center of town that we didn't need to drive anywhere. The Burch's were extraordinary hosts. Will definitely be going there again.

Judy and Buddy were wonderful! The property is absolutely gorgeous and its proximity to all of the beautiful historic sights in town is perfect. We walked everywhere! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch and even spent a few hours chit chatting with the Buddy and Judy later that afternoon. The carriage house was so welcoming and homey. It had everything we needed and more. I even got the chance to relax by the fireplace and read one of the many books available. If you're looking for a relaxing, quiet retreat, this is the place for you! We will definitely be returning!

Charming southern charmer
We loved our stay in Edenton, especially staying at the Burch house. The cottage is located behind the main house, but the owners very generously shared the manicured grounds. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on their front porch admiring the view of Albemarle Sound. The cottage is inviting and casual, yet elegantly decorated. Our first morning the owners brought a basket of fruit, cheese and crackers, etc. We would definitely recommend staying at the Burch house.

Fantastic!!!
The place was perfect - very beautiful, everything we needed and more. Loved the fresh fruit and goodies, the mini-kitchen was perfect for our needs. Even things we didn’t realize we needed were thought of. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed just relaxing in the room. Our hosts were very friendly and lovely people to chat to. Edenton is such a charming little town, too. If we find ourselves down in NC again, we’d definitely stay here again! Thank you again for your hospitality!

Judi & Marlene's Coastal Excursion
Southern charm galore in an incredible 18th century home! Luxury accomodations. Too many extra touches to list them all! Fruit basket, breakfast pastries, bottled water, specialty coffees, etc.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary in Edenton and at Burch House by the Bay. Judy and Buddy are wonderful, charming hosts. We were welcomed with cake, bubbly and roses when we arrived. Burch House is even more charming than the online pictures. We had everything that we needed and more. Judy and Buddy graciously welcomed us to spend hours on their front porch which has a spectacular view of the bay. Edenton is a friendly, historical town. We were welcomed everywhere we went. Whether biking or walking, we were amazed by the history surrounding us and the variety of architectural examples. We highly recommend a boat tour on the Liber-Tea. Captain Mark shares a wealth of knowledge about Edenton - past and present. We are looking forward to returning to Edenton and to Burch House by the Bay. Many thanks to Judy and Buddy.

This Carriage House is everything that it says it is in the listing. From the beginning, booking and throughout the stay our hosts Buddy and Judy were there if you needed them. Their home and location is beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed the town with all its history. Everyone we met was friendly. We used the bikes and kayaks and saw the area from a different prospective. If you have any doubts about staying here, DON’T! Thanks Buddy and Judy for allowing us to stay in your home, it’s truly amazing. We will be back.

Sitting on the porch, enjoying the breeze, the view and afternoon drinks was one of the many highlights of our stay at The Carriage House. People who walked by the porch said hello and some even stopped to talk. The friendliness of the community continued in our excursions around town. The experience reminded us of a story book place.
We highly recommend that you experience The Carriage House. It is beautiful, in a great location, and has terrific outdoor spaces to enjoy; but the best part is the wonderful owners. Judy and Buddy made us feel right at home and well taken care of the entire weekend!
