What a charming little bungalow. Lots of character. Updated just enough in order to maintain the homes true character. Super close to downtown area and any other amenities needed.

Cutest bungalow!!

We came to town for a local university graduation. The house is adorable!! Perfect for adults who don’t like to stay in hotels. It’s perfectly stocked and the hostess had water and snacks left in the kitchen which was great because we got in late and we were hungry. The outdoor space had a great set up for sitting outside in the evenings and relaxing. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone!!

Cozy and comfortable as always

We stay here often as we have family in the area. It’s such a sweet cottage. My elderly mother-in-law has taken to calling it “our little yellow house”. It does feel like our home away from home. The owner is fantastic to work with. We’ll remain loyal renters for as long as we have family here.

Wonderful house!!

We had a wonderful weekend in New Bern! The house was perfect! It had everything you could possibly need for a weekend trip! We were so impressed by all the little details. The old charm of the house was adorable! It was in a perfect location for spending ample time downtown. It was a super short drive or uber ride to the local shops and bars. Everyone we met was so friendly. We would definitely rent again!!

Home away from home

This was our 4th stay at this property. We have family in the area and the cottage - or the “little yellow house” as my mother-in-law calls it ;-) - is just minutes away from where they live. It’s so comfortable and convenient to everything. The owner is very easy to work with and does a great job of responding quickly to any questions we have. We travel to New Bern about every 3 months now. It is truly our home away from home!

Home away from home

We were in town for a retirement. This cozy house was truly home away from home. Cozy and inviting. She was stocked with more than you could imagine to make the stay easy. The location was great, easy to access. We were able to head out the the beaches a few days and it was super great to be able to come back and hose everything off before our return home. Highly recommend and would stay again

Charming bungalow!

We stayed here for two nights to drop off our kids at camp, a big trip with lots of logistics coming from NYC, and this sweet house was such a welcome respite, the perfect place to stretch out. We loved the swing on the front porch (lovely reading spot), and the screened in porch our back was just the right size for yoga with my kids. Amazing attention to detail — candy jars, coffee and creamer, snacks, and lovely toiletries. A great family alternative to the motels and B and Bs in town, it’s a 5 min drive from the shops and restaurants we love in New Bern.

Your property is gorgeous and we are lovef being so close to downtown New Bern! You did a fantastic job with renovating and decorating this lovely home. My travel buddy and I have stayed at many VRBO's and this is one of the nicest at which we have been. The proximity to downtown makes it very appealing. The cleanliness, your notes, the snacks, coffee, kitchen basics, laundry basics, and personal touches are amazing. The local literature was also very helpful. I can understand why your reviews are always so positive!!! If I have a reason to be in New Bern again, I would definitely seek out this property!
