Perfect Getaway Spot

Jeff has done a great job setting the property up for a nice getaway. The house is located on property with several other rental cabins, but is separate from them so you don't even know they are there unless you are looking for them. The community area is perfectly set up with hammocks, horshoes, cornole, massive firepit, blackstone grill, and smoker cabinet. As for the house, it is an open layout with plenty of room in the kitchen and dining area to entertain, the bedrooms are huge, and the closets are stocked nicely. The back deck is right over the man made beach and water, has a private grill and hammock swing. You can fish from the beach or go to the shared dock if you wish, plenty of kayaks and a paddle boat complete with lifejackets for your use. Plenty to do on the property, but extremely close to downtown and alll the restaurants and bars. It gives the best of all worlds, you can hang with other guests on the property, be isolated by yourselves at the main house, or head downtown for shopping and dining. Great find!

AMAZING stay for our wedding party!

Man oh man I cannot say enough good things about this property. We just recently got married at Amelia Grove, right down the road from the Grey Goose. My husband and a few of his groomsmen stayed at this house, and it was the PERFECT place for them and honestly anyone looking to stay close to property for their wedding. They raved about the beach and back porch, and just had the best time. This is also where all his groomsmen got ready for the wedding and hungout before the ceremony, and it could not have been more convenient. I could not recommend this place more.

Coffee with a view

What a view! If you are renting this property, you value a beautiful view with your morning coffee and evening cocktails. Jeff’s place is a rustic home on the water. It has the little quirks of an older home. But it is spacious, has enough beds for a big gang, and is perfectly suited to fun in the river. We had people sit with their toes in the sand for an evening, hosted a small brunch for family members who were in town, kayaked, and spent hours watching wildlife and boaters in the river. The house was clean — no sand, clean beds, no evidence of dogs staying there before us. It does have a slight damp feeling like all homes that sit on the water. There are 2 bathrooms, one with a step in shower which is nice for older folks. Plenty of parking. Drip coffee maker. Lots of pitchers, which I especially appreciate because we love cold iced tea and water when we are outside a lot. The little sand “beach” beach is unique and wonderful. While the dock is shared, there aren’t a lot of people coming and going and we loved chatting when someone actually did come to the dock. There is a huge banquette in the kitchen to set up a buffet — we had brunch and a huge Italian feast one day. Just perfect. If you have a lot of people, bring some paper goods, platters and serving bowls. But if it’s just a family of 6-8, you’ll have plenty of supplies to make meals. The location is within 5 min of the airport,and less than 10 to the town of New Bern. Amazing, welcoming hosts!

Enjoyable stay

Property had almost everything my family needed. The host was very responsive. All appliances were adequet. Gas grill was also quite large and clean which was a pleasure to see. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The furniture in the home was up-to-date and ample. There isn't an area for the furbabies to get out of the water unassisted. The dock is set on deep water which was also nice for boat parking. The kayaks were moldy and dirty and the seats were all rotted and unusable. We enjoyed what we could with kayaks but they needed a good pressure washing and seat replacements and updated paddles. There were minimal utensils. We were only supplied with 4 forks which was not idea for a group of 5. The deck and beach area were beautiful!! The only thing I wish is that there was better and more comfortable seating. The cushions on the furniture were flat and worn. It was difficult to sit for any amount of time and enjoy the view. There were hanging hammock chairs which the kids and myself enjoyed but again for the price of the rental they were tattered and needed replacement.The only other seating were thin metal benches. I would recommend bringing your own beach chairs for comfort. The beach area was enjoyable! There were Adirondack chairs but the cushions were tattered and flimsy. The home could really benefit from a deep clean. I would return to this property with my family. Knowing what I would have to bring for comfort. Great location on the river with deep water.

Great location

A little pricey for me, and the house itself I would rate as funky but chic, but its right on the creek with beautiful views and a short drive to town. Eagles flying about. Kayaks, etc. Should have brought my boat but its 800 miles to where i live. We went in late March, would be great in the warm months. I give it a 4 out of 5. Do it.

Ultimate relaxation

We had a brief, but wonderful stay at the Gray Goose. The panoramic view of the creek was great and the reflection of the trees in the creek makes for a great photo opportunity. There is a Food Lion close by and it is a short drive into New Bern. The property itself is great with everything you could want. The kitchen is especially well stocked with dishes, utensils and appliances. I do not remember what is advertised, but I would recommend bringing your own shower items (soap and shampoo). We were here in February so we did not take advantage of the kayaks, but those would be great in the summer. Do not hesitate to stay here if you are looking for a vacation property in this area!

This was a great house! Check in was super easy. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived. There was plenty of space for everyone. We LOVED the deck and the beach in front of the house. We spent one whole day playing in the water. It was perfect! We would definitely stay again! A small issue arose (something we did, nothing wrong with the house or amenities) and the owner was super friendly and accommodating in a way I feel like you don't see nowadays! We were super close to everything we needed in town! Great stay all around!

Perfect spot on Brices Creek

The view from the Grey Goose is outstanding. We spent most of our time on there on the porch, beach, and dock. The property is oddly situated on a piece of property with some rental cabins, but we rarely saw other guests. The inside of the house is a little rustic (no frills), but worked for our purpose. The next door neighbor's dog barked ferociously each morning around 5am which was unfortunate.

AMAZING!

What an AMAZING place to stay. So, so many positive things about this vacation home. The waterfront views, the porch is amazing, the views from inside the house overall, the many outdoor opportunities right out the back sliding doors. We enjoyed relaxing in the sun, swimming, kayaking, paddle boating, fishing and soaking in all the views. Such a beautiful and friendly area, and close to downtown where there is plenty to do and visit and see. A big plus that it was pet friendly. The house was beautiful, well kept, the house amenities and furniture was all comfy and nice. Very cozy place! Mr. Jeff is an awesome host and responds quickly as well as makes sure you are enjoying your trip and dont need anything. We will definitely be back.
