Fit our needs perfectly

Nice area, clean and spacious. We were there pretty much only during the evening to sleep. Otherwise out and about town visiting family. Was a little surprised to see a bunch of towels in the washing machine when we arrived, as well as some standing water in one of the bath tubs. Called the property owner and he was very apologetic. Although it’s his responsibility I understand cleaning people were to blame. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place

The house was clean and comfortable with great views of the canal from the windows. Rooms were comfy. We had a great time fishing off the dock. The host of this property is very responsive. He returned our calls quickly and he checked to make sure that everything was in order when we arrived. Beautiful neighborhood, quiet location

Girls Weekend

Property was excellent for a quiet family get away. We enjoyed the seclusion of the area and the peaceful neighborhood. New Bern downtown shopping was great and so many fine places to enjoy a meal. Looking forward to returning sometime with my husband and bringing our boat to explore the rivers. The owner took the time to call before we arrived to let us know about a repair earlier in the week concerning a spot in the yard and was very nice to make sure we knew everything was ok.

Family Time

Our time at Anchors Away was great..... A lot of room to spread out for sure. The water was the best view whether on the deck, in the house or on the dock. Check in was easy. We liked the area where the house is at, To get to anything you have to drive to but we didn't mind because it is worth the drive to see new things. When we had questions or needed to know something the owner was quick to respond and talk with. Happy Vacationers who stayed July 1st to July 6, 2023!!!

Why they chose this property

We bought Anchors Away after searching up and down the coast for a waterfront home close to the ocean yet secluded enough to avoid crowds.We have vacationed in New Bern for many years and are entranced by it's unique blend of southern charm, natural wonder, and historical significance.

What makes this property unique

We fell hard for Anchors Away the moment we opened the front door and could see boats from the entryway. In this busy world there is serenity, comfort, and calm that comes from slowing down, unwinding, and enjoying the water.
