About this property
Cozy riverfront cottage with an amazing view, minutes from downtown New Bern.
We hope you’ll enjoy the amazing views, frequent breeze, unforgettable sunsets and quick drive to downtown New Bern as much as we do. Nestled waterfront in quiet Bridgeton, across the water from New Bern, you can enjoy the river while taking in the view of the New Bern waterfront from the sun room, living room, open deck, screened in porch or yard. There is a free NC Wildlife boat ramp just minutes away for boat launching and Bridgeton has a nice waterfront park that is a short walk away with a kid’s play structure, picnic area and open recreation field.
Guests are more than welcome to enjoy the dock! There are gray, plastic Adirondack chairs located next to the back deck steps that can be taken onto the dock. Please do not leave them unattended, as the wind has a tendency to blow things into the water. The boat lift pictured is not available for guest use and a boat (also not for guest use) will be present on the lift during most stays as will a sailboat in the wet slip. Please do not board the boats. There is currently no ladder into or out of the river.
We currently do not allow pets on property or smoking (or vaping) in the home. In order to help safeguard the property (and keep on eye on weather conditions) we have two security cameras present- one at the front door (a doorbell camera), and one facing the waterfront. The cameras are strictly for security purposes and do not record continuously.
Please note, our cleaner's rate structure varies by number of guests (linens) as do operating expenses (utilities). To be as fair as possible to couples and small families, our nightly charge and cleaning charge reflects six or fewer occupants but we welcome larger groups of up to ten. To help account for the difference in our expenses, the rental structure includes a $10 per night, per guest charge for each guest over six to offset the higher utilities and cleaning fees we must pay.
