The owner's directions for check-in were accurate and everything went smoothly. The home was charming, clean, and matched its photos. The kitchen was well-equipped and the house contained everything that we needed for a smooth trip. The location was perfect for easy access to downtown New Bern in less than 5 minutes. Grocery store across street was convenient for making dinner. Walked our dog around the neighborhood and fenced in yard allowed our pet to have some room to stretch his legs.

Retro Retreat was the PERFECT place for us to stay in New Bern! We needed a dog/pet friendly home as we had to travel with our Lucy for a family event. The decor was colorful but soothing at the same time, the beds and couches were comfortable and there was absolutely everything we needed plus three (yes 3) coffee pots. The location was very convenient to our family's homes (but not too close) and only 10 minutes from the lovely downtown area. In addition to the great downtown restaurants, there's one local favorite within walking distance. The site is also just a short trip to Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and Beaufort. Chris was an awesome host, providing clear information for both check-in and check-out. Additionally, he responded quickly to any questions and offered recommendations for restaurants, and checked in on us every day. We did not want to leave, but "real life" was calling. I'll defininately chose this (if available) for any future visits to the area.
