Thank you for helping discover the problem a previous client brought in undetected. Once discovered with your help, we gave you a full refund and shut down the house for a month plus to bring back the exterminator and fully eradicate the problem and do a deep clean to ensure there are no more issues.

Great stay at “The Buck”

The home was in great shape, very clean and completely stocked with everything you’d find in your own home!! Everything!!! We just moved to the New Bern area and their home was exactly what our family needed as we transitioned. 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs!! We loved it!! We will be renting their home again when family from out of town come to visit!!!! A huge thank you to Brian and his family!! They have done an outstanding job with this VRBO property!!

Get off the main road and find the Abode

Came to visit our son and his new bride for 4th of July weekend. The house is older but the updates make it feel VERY homey. We also got an awesome treat on the night of the 4th! The neighbors across the street … approximately 1000’ from the front porch put on a 20+ minute fireworks show. They definitely spent a good bit of money because it was a great show! While our son is in N.C., whenever we go visit we will book the Abode if available. There is not a lot in the small town of Vance and that was perfect for us! We went to spend time with our son and new daughter-in-law and being off the beaten path was PERFECT. There is a Food Lion grocery, gas stations and dollar stores about 5 mins from the house, so you can get all you need right in town to make your stay at the Abode a great family experience.
