About this property

Cozy riverfront cottage with an amazing view, minutes from downtown New Bern.

We hope you’ll enjoy the amazing views, frequent breeze, unforgettable sunsets and quick drive to downtown New Bern as much as we do. Nestled waterfront in quiet Bridgeton, across the water from New Bern, you can enjoy the river while taking in the view of the New Bern waterfront from the sun room, living room, open deck, screened in porch or yard. There is a free NC Wildlife boat ramp just minutes away for boat launching and Bridgeton has a nice waterfront park that is a short walk away with a kid’s play structure, picnic area and open recreation field.

Guests are more than welcome to enjoy the dock! There are gray, plastic Adirondack chairs located next to the back deck steps that can be taken onto the dock. Please do not leave them unattended, as the wind has a tendency to blow things into the water. The boat lift pictured is not available for guest use and a boat (also not for guest use) will be present on the lift during most stays as will a sailboat in the wet slip. Please do not board the boats. There is currently no ladder into or out of the river.

We currently do not allow pets on property or smoking (or vaping) in the home. In order to help safeguard the property (and keep on eye on weather conditions) we have two security cameras present- one at the front door (a doorbell camera), and one facing the waterfront. The cameras are strictly for security purposes and do not record continuously.

Please note, our cleaner's rate structure varies by number of guests (linens) as do operating expenses (utilities). To be as fair as possible to couples and small families, our nightly charge and cleaning charge reflects six or fewer occupants but we welcome larger groups of up to ten. To help account for the difference in our expenses, the rental structure includes a $10 per night, per guest charge for each guest over six to offset the higher utilities and cleaning fees we must pay.

Birthday celebration

We have stayed in New Bern before but wanted a different location besides a hotel. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck then on the evening our wine on the deck watching the river flow by. It was also a good base to go explore neighboring towns and islands. We would love to go back.

newbies to new bern

The property was perfect for us. loved the location to town and the view and river had a calming effect on our busy schedule. Just a few things to consider adding... iron and board, BBQ and some smaller for eating say ice cream or yogurt and fruit. We would rent the house again and recommend it.

Peaceful Escape on the River

My recent trip to the Neuse River was an absolute dream! The sunset view was stunning! The detailed description and photos were accurate. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. Communication with the owner was quick, clear, and concise. Overall, the experience was exceptional.

10 stars!!

This home is an absolute gem and we highly recommend it! So conveniently located (7 min drive to historic downtown New Bern), the home was sparkling clean and very comfortable with multiple places to relax, read, play board games, be together, be alone, and enjoy meals. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed - ice cream scoop? Check. Mixing bowls? Check. Griddle for French toast? Check. Ziploc bags? Check. Clearly a lot of thought went into setting up this home for maximum comfort and we greatly appreciated it. Bedrooms included large TVs mounted on the wall and beds that were very comfortable - our 12 year old granddaughter rated her sleep as bussin’ which apparently is quite decent. Showers were very nice with plenty of towels available. We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and one morning, we were stunned to see a pod of dolphins swim by very close to the house - in the Neuse River! Favorite spots included the sunroom, the deck to watch the spectacular sunsets, dinner on the screened porch, and the porch swing (which was enjoyed by all). So glad we found this home on vrbo, hope that we get the opportunity to visit again!

We travelled here for a week as a family with several younger children and really enjoyed our stay! The house had plenty of space for us, had a wonderful kitchen, and we also enjoyed the access to the river right at the back yard. It made for very relaxing afternoons, and the perfect place to watch the sunset at the end of the day.

This has been one of the best vrbo’s that I have stayed. The home was exceptionally clean and anything you would need is there. The views are exceptional and the screened in porch and sunroom were fantastic. I look forward to another relaxing trip in the future. I had one small question and Susan replied very quickly. The pictures on website are completely accurate.

Oh, my word!! I cannot emphasize enough the quality of this Vrbo vacation spot! From start to finish, Susan did everything you could hope for to ensure a wonderful place to stay. Communication was thorough and the entrance and location were well explained and easy. The home is BEAUTIFUL! It was clean, it smelled great, and everything was so organized. We had more than you could possibly need for supplies also. And the view from the porch was heavenly! Thank you, we all hope to be back!

Loved it

This house was absolutely spotless. So cute. Fantastic view. Everything worked. Everything’s labeled. Good stash of towels, cleaning products, etc. Lots of places to sit/hang out, so family members could seek out a quiet place to read or nap if needed. The laundry machines worked well and came in clutch! All the appliances were modern.We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thankfully the bedrooms are on the other side of the house from the next door neighbor who had bunches of people over, loudly talking outside until late at night, 2 nights in a row (that could happen anywhere so we sure don’t hold it against the host!). The only thing we would add would be a kayak or paddle board at the dock so we could experience the riverfront…but we understand that could be a liability issue.One of the bedrooms has a non-usable closet because of a strong mildew smell…the owner/host is clearly aware of it, as there is a large anti-damp packet in the closet. This wasn’t an issue for us because we didn’t bring hanging clothes LOL. If we had, there was ample room in the master walk-in closet for everyone. This is a recently-renovated older home, so it has charm and it has quirks. I also would have liked a “your stay is coming soon; here’s the details” kind of email like I have received from every other VRBO host a few days before the stay. I was a little anxious that we might have been forgotten because I didn’t receive that last contact from the host.
