We had a great stay. The property was immaculate, spacious,quiet and in a quiet neighborhood and had about everything we needed. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog and we used the little patio and grill quite a bit. It's a short hop to down town and there were supermarkets and almost any store you would want very close by. Our host was very responsive but she was so well organized, we didn't need her help much at all. We can wholeheartedly recommend this property. We hope to book it again in the near future.

Jocelyn's home was perfect for our visit to New Bern! The home is very comfortable, is located just a short distance from downtown, and the fenced-in backyard was an ideal spot for our dog to romp around.

Perfect place in New Bern

We stayed at this property for the weekend as our son was getting married in New Bern. The house was clean and the check in process was very smooth. The property manager was very responsive to my messages and all concerns were handled promptly and to our satisfaction. It is very close to downtown and all the sites to see in this cute town!

The house was exactly as expected, clean and roomy for the 8 of us. Close proximity to the Wedding Venue, Amelia Grove, which was perfect. Went shopping downtown and the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning was great. Plenty of things to do to keep is all busy.

A very good place to stay. Definitely worth the money

When you consider that a quality motel room runs close to 100$ a night, a long term stay in this house, (a month plus) is definitely a great value. When you consider the ample space afforded by the dining and living room areas, even on a nightly basis, its more than a great value. Top it off with a private back yard and a grill, and entertaining a group while in town beats even the largest motel suites, and the three bedrooms offer ample privacy. The location is on a residential side street, so traffic is minimal, and yet within a half mile you have access to many restaurants, shops, and a very good medical facility. Definitely a great value for 6-8 people.

About the host

Hosted by jocelyn topper

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in Pennsylvania and love camping and warm weather. Currently, I am a school teacher in PA and travel back and forth to North Carolina when I am off. I love the access to water and the small town.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have been camping and visiting many beach towns on our travels for a few years. We stumbled upon New Bern and loved that it was a small town but close to the water. We came back to visit many times because you have two rivers in your backyard and a short drive to the beach. It was the perfect spot to buy a vacation home.
