Wonderful place! The location was great and the neighborhood was quiet. There was a great park within easy walking distance right on the Neuse…a beautiful place for sunsets. We enjoyed coffee in the back porch in the morning. Everything we needed was available. We were come again!

Everything was as advertised! Owners were very responsive and thoughtful. Kitchen and laundry facilities provided all we needed. Beds comfortable. Such a cheerful, cozy house with a lovely beach vibe feel. Nice decorative touches and no issues with technology. Check in and out instructions were detailed and experienced no problems. Very dog friendly which is essential for us. Great location to everything needed (restaurants, grocery store, gas, etc.) and to the sites we were visiting, including downtown New Bern, Bath, and Emerald Isle Beach. If we return to this area in the future we would definitely book again!

Our two-month stay at Just in the Moment was truly something special. We came to town while waiting for the arrival of our first grandchild, and this beautiful little cottage quickly became our home away from home.The cottage was the perfect little spot—comfortable, cozy, peaceful, and in such a wonderful location. Mickey (owner) absolutely wonderful, so responsive and thoughtful, and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The neighbors were also fantastic and added to the warm, friendly feeling of the community.We will always have such fond memories of our time at Just in the Moment. It gave us a comfortable place to call home during such an exciting and meaningful chapter in our lives. We are so grateful we found this special little cottage and would happily stay here again.

House was clean. The kitchen was fully stocked which was so nice. The fenced in back yard was great for our dog. There is a park a half block away that was nice to walk to. Conveniently located to things in New Bern. We would not hesitate to book this house again.

We had a great time at the Just in the Moment cottage. This is a quaint little cottage in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was well stocked, and we loved the fenced in back porch with the nice little seating areas. It is just minutes away from New Bern, and only an hour away from the ferry to Cape Lookout. We would love to come back for more than the weekend next time.
