Host was very easy to communicate with before and after our stay. House is more conducive to families with young children rather than adult children regarding the beds and sleeping space. House is conveniently located near downtown and other points of interest however very near to the hospital so you hear a lot of sirens. Wishing you the best with your VRBO home just not for us and our family dynamics.

We have no complaints about our stay at this charming house. There were plenty of places to sleep and everything was well kept. I would stay here again.

The home is beautiful and in a great location! The house is in a good neighborhood and very close to downtown New Bern. The owners are amazing, they check in to make sure everything is perfect! The house is very clean, looks like it was recently updated, and has everything you need! It was just two of us, but we will be bringing family to stay with us here in the future!!
This property is fantastic. We have stayed in VRBO properties all over the country and have not found one as clean as this property. It is very fresh looking; decor is just right; beds are superb; the extra personal touches are fantastic; and the property manager is excellent.
very comfortable space. clean, perfect accommodations for 2 kids and 4 adults. beds were very comfortable and having the 2 bathrooms was perfect. house was in close proximity to downtown new bern where family was gathering. we didnt get the chance to use the firepit but wood was available which was nice. we would definitely stay here again!
We were in New Bern for a friend’s birthday party. This house was more than we expected. Extremely clean and roomy. The back yard fire pit area was private and relaxing. The host Stephanie was extremely helpful and made the check in and out process super easy. We will definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful time at this house. It was not to far from everything we wanted to do. Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The host was very responsive to us during our stay. We did not have any problems. We walk a lot so we met several people in the neighborhood who were very friendly. We would stay there again!

Great home...
We rented this home for a family event in New Bern. The location was perfect for going to downtown (just a few minutes away) and convenient to my family's home. This home is immaculate, updated and well stocked. We were very comfortable during our stay. Although we had no needs of Stephanie, she check in with me via a text and was available for any needs. We had a great time and we very likely stay here again.
