Waterfront River House on Brices Creek, New Bern
Welcome to our spacious 4 Bedroom, 3 Full Bath waterfront river retreat on Brices Creek—perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water. You'll love the large acre lot in the outskirts of town with its own private dock, and location less than 10 minutes from the popular Historic Downtown New Bern and home of Pepsi.
We are excited to host your family for your relaxing family get-away with the comfort of home and proximity to downtown for nighttime adventures. Walk around the City of New Bern and look for all the Bear statues (0ver 100 Bears), or just enjoy a stroll down the river front in New Bern right off the bridge. For a unique dining experience, try lunch at one of the many local restaurants, or dining on one of the waterfront restaurants in New Bern facing the marina.
Situated on a private acre lot, this home offers a scenic view Brices Creek. From the back lawn, you'll enjoy fishing right off the dock or watching other boaters or water skiers pass by. The boat launch is just around the bend across from the corner gas station, Merchant’s Grocery, for your kayaks or boats. You'll be able to fish right off the dock, or if you're brave and enjoy river activities there is a ladder attached for swimming.
The home features a screened porch on the back with a laundry room and three levels, so it offers the perfect space for quality family time as well as separate spaces with a full bath on each floor. We offer two comfy living rooms, one on the 1st and 2nd floors, each with its own HDTV, so you can divide your indoor time if you just want to relax and watch your favorite shows. There are also several games to choose from for a family game night & toys/books for the young & the wise. The kitchen is fully equipped with keurig, coffee maker, crock pot, & pots/pans/baking dishes/utensils. Run the dishwasher for convenience & enjoy a new fridge/dishwasher & stove. Kayaks & washer/dryer available spring/summer/fall.
If in vacation mode, travel a day (45 min) to Atlantic Beach/Emerald Isle and go to the Aquarium with the kids, or visit the Big Rock Landing, where they have an annual fishing tournament, pirates festivals, and several top-notch waterfront restaurants. You'll find several top golf courses, walking trails, and kayak rentals within a 20 min. radius. In the evenings, you can sit by the fire and visit with your family and friends or head downtown for fresh local seafood.

This location was perfect for staying in New Bern, NC for our son’s wedding. The back yard was so relaxing on the water with a firepit!

We absolutely LOVED our time! Location is beyond beautiful and so relaxing! Not only is the home right on the water, but the surrounding area itself is just as perfect! Very close to down town area of New Bern, yet secluded enough for our own private retreat! The kayaks the owners provided were a huge hit, and we enjoyed having a fire almost nightly! Each morning we would sit either on the balcony of the 2nd floor or right down by the water and enjoyed our coffee, over looking beautiful Brices Creek. We love being outside and there is so much space outside in the back and the front. I can't express how much we truly loved being on the water! We didn't even need to reach out to the owners at all during our week stay because everything was provided that we needed! We couldn't have asked for more! Prior to our arrival any questions we did have we answered immediately and owners were helpful and honest most importantly! We are a family of 7, the 5 kiddos ranging from 9-21, and we had plenty of space for all of us, with the house having 3 levels, it was perfect! We would highly recommend and would stay here again!
