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 (5 mi) from the popular Historic Downtown New Bern and home of Pepsi. 2 miles to airport, 1 mile to Amelia Grove.

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 & an ice cream stand next door.

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.

Please keep in mind:
This property is a house, built in 1984 with many nice updates, but it is to be occupied by our guests only.

Please be respectful to neighbors and honor this as a vacation home, not a place for outdoor reunions or large celebrations. Although we do not allow pets, there are other places close by with fenced in yards that surely will accommodate your fur babies.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Very disappointed. Reviews were very good so we decided to book. Home and grounds are not well kept. Owner was very nice when we reached out to them as there were no bath towels in any bathroom.

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!

House was in a great location, nice neighborhood and convenient to downtown. We did a 45 minute drive to Atlantic beach for a day trip.Back yard was amazing! Great views !!House had lots of room to spread out, 2 living areas and deck off second floor was great place to relax and take in surroundings.Large back yard was so nice, played corn home and did a lot of fishing. House came with kayaks and we brought a few more and spent a lot of time exploring the waterway.Kitchen was well equipped with all we needed and host was quick to reply with and questions or concerns we had.Would for sure recommend!

A wonderful overall experience during our stay in New Bern. The property was absolutely perfect for my wife and I, our two adult sons and soon to be daughter in-law. We absolutely loved the layout of the home with multiple living spaces, two large patios one enclosed on main level one open above overlooking Brices Creek, good sized well stocked kitchen and a large kitchen table for the entire family also looking out to the beautiful private back yard and Brices Creek. Bed rooms and bathrooms were spread nicely throughout the three stories for privacy and beds were all very comfortable. The entire outdoor property was beautiful and the very private back yard with lots of water front, dock and fire pit was one of our families favorites. Location was perfect for visiting the historic town of New Bern and our many other adventures throughout our stay, and close to any needs we had for groceries, etc. Our check-in/check-out process was super easy and wonderful communication with the owners when we had any questions about the surrounding area, resturaunts, etc. A Big thanks to Jen & Ken for a great experience, we truly enjoyed the home and would highly recommend to friends and family. Sincerely, Justin & Wendy

Quiet location for a relaxing waterfront vacation. Convenient location. Close to downtown New Bern and Croatan National Forest trailhead. Easy, 50 minute, drive to the coast for a day trip. Comfortable beds. Stocked kitchen and baths. Would stay here again. Our multigeneration family stayed here for 4 nights.
