Wonderful location and great accommodation!The bikes were great and wonderful to explore the areaGreat community facilities for tennis , pickleball and swimming pool all a short walk away and included with the rentalOur hosts were accommodating and responsiveCheers
This home was perfect for our visit to see my son at Cherry Point! We all enjoyed the spacious and clean home, the indoor pool, the gym and the bicycles! The hosts were quick to respond to any inquiries and provided a well stocked kitchen. The ping pong table was awesome too!
This place affords a family time to have fun together.We enjoyed playing ping pong and listening to records and CD’s. We Enjoyed walking thru the neighborhood along the old marina. The Recreation Center provides indoor swimming year round. It was comfortable even though we had every bed filled.
There are a lot of entertainment options for this house that our family loved, and it was well stocked with the essentials. It is close to a grocery store, and the drive into New Bern is short and beautiful. The only negatives were that I was surprised by the sulphur water smell, and it looked like some of the dishes were put back in the cupboard without being washed first. Washing the dishes and putting them away are part of the check out process, and the people who stayed there before us did not do a great job.
All went very well - the house is in such a great spot (close to downtown New Bern) - and the facilities (pool, gym, etc) were fantastic, and we used them all!! The house itself was lovely, clean, beds were great, and the everyone LOVED the ping pong table!!!
Would love to come back!!!
Great location for us, quite and very nice. The house was clean and comfortable. The host’s communication was great. Checking in and out was very easy. Very well done !
Beautiful home with comfy beds. Loved playin ping pong each day and listening to records. My favorite was Carole King. Just a short walk to the pools. Enjoyed pizza in the evening at the outdoor pool then headed into the hot tub. So nice and quiet. Had a great time. Only thing missing is a restaurant close by.
Had a great time and enjoyed several games of ping pong. Would definitely stay here again. Host was very responsive throughout the whole process. Area was nice and quiet. Loved the community amenities.
We always look for the extras when booking a VRBO and this one was just right for my teens. Ping pong was a huge hit, and so was the bike availability. Not to mention the close access to tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and basketball courts. The open kitchen was great for family conversations over pizza. A grill was even available. This was a nice retreat for my family to gather our thoughts and be together.
We enjoyed our stay. Owners were very accommodating and they were great communicators. It was as described and very clean. Ping pong table and music was fun!
We were visiting from Florida to participate in the 2023 MS Historic New Bern Century Ride. We rode in 2022 (our first) and stayed here then. David and Terri are great hosts, very communicative and accommodating. The home was in great shape and well-appointed. It handled the 5 adults who stayed over the weekend comfortably. While it's a little bit of a drive to New Bern, we chose this location because it is near the water and quiet. We only wish the mosquitos didn't like us as much as they did. We'll be back next year!!
Great for family vacation together. Love the location, views and outdoors! House had plenty of room and ping pong was a hit! Owner was quick to reply to any requests. Would stay again.
The house was clean, in a quiet neighborhood, and had everything we needed for our stay. Check in was very easy with excellent communication from the host. The hosts we very friendly and responded very quickly to an issue with the AC, getting it fixed within a couple of hours. The ping pong table was a nice bonus and got a lot of use during our time there. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Our overflow family stayed there and had nothing but positive comments. We didn't get to enjoy it enough. 3 bedrooms make it very desirable. The hosts were gracious and accommodating.
We absolutely loved our stay at David and Terri’s house for our trip to New Bern. We were a family of 4, including 2 kids visiting for my birthday. The house was clean and had so many fun touches. The game room not only had a ping pong table, but also board games, along with a record player and a CD player! We also loved the short walk to the pools (both indoor and outdoor). The hosts were gracious and helpful with any of my questions. I highly recommend staying here!
We enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed three bedroom house. Fairfield Harbour is very pleasant and our kids had fun in the pool. Getting out on the water with our kayak and SUP boards was easy. We appreciated our hosts for their good communication and restaurant recommendations in New Bern. We would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Fairfield Harbour. The house was clean and spacious. We loved the area and hiked as well as kayaked in Broad Creek. Our hosts were accommodating and had good communication.
We had a few things that occurred on the trip and the hosts made sure to get everything fixed almost immediately. There were items and amenities supplied that we did not even know about. The hosts were very sweet and constantly welcoming. Definitely would reserve again
We had a great stay in Fairfield Harbor. The house was perfect we had a great time playing ping pong. The communication with host was excellent they got back to me right away. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Terri and David Payne
Hi. Thanks for choosing our home. David and I, Terri, love New Bern. We also live here in this quaint little corner of our world and love it. We love to share with our guests all that New Bern has to offer. We both love the water. We actually met on a little island called Hope Town, which is located in the Bahamas. Some of you may have been or heard of it. We love to go sailing and take advantage of all this area has to offer. Enjoy our home and please reach out with anything you may need!
