Clean, comfortable and cozy. It was the perfect place for my husband and our son and daughter. We were attending a wedding nearby at Amelia Grove and the location was ideal. A very peaceful and pleasant place to stay!

A great place to stay!

Everything was great about our long weekend! We stayed there instead of a hotel and it was well worth it. Next time we visit, we will spend a lot more time at the cottage and enjoy the beautiful river! The hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome.

Honeymoon Trip

We stayed here on our honeymoon. Beautiful home. Well maintained, stocked & furnished. Great price, very affordable! Super easy check in and out. Great location close to everythingBut yet not in middle of city. Host are very friendly. And their sweet dog Roo is such an awesome co-host! Was missing my fur babies and he was so sweet and friendly! Can’t wait to go back again and will hopefully get to stay at same place.

Excellent Riverside Retreat near New Bern

This is a clean, well-stocked retreat that has most of the comforts of home. The property is serene and remote, but still close to town & hiking. Marisol was a great host and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed sitting by the water, kayaking, fishing, and visiting with their lovely dog, Roo.

Will be staying again! Highly recommend!

Lovely, clean, relaxing, as advertised and the hosts are wonderful! Centrally located for downtown and the beach and we made use of the paddle boat and fishing right on the dock behind the house. Fully stocked with everything you need and the property is beautiful thank you Matt and Marisol

Birthday trip

The cottage was clean and the hosts were great and they walked our dog for us while we were out for a day trip. I cannot say enough about the experience and the fishing was great from the dock. Our dog Tide had a great time.

The Condo is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. It has great views, very nice patios off every bedroom and the main living room space as well. Scott was great to work with, very nice and quick to answer any and all questions. The only downside to vacationing in this building, is the parking. If you have a large vehicle, it can’t go to the 2nd or 3rd floor. There is a sign that states smaller cars to the upper level, but they don’t always go up and no one cares. If you go out, you could possibly have nowhere to park. It ruined our stay and we had to order in 90% of the time, this cost more and we felt it made our family vacation feel very limited. We couldn’t even go to parks, shopping ect. and we damaged our new SUV by trying to find somewhere to park. I feel this should be stated in the description of all Condos in this Island Tower Building, because it’s deceiving to say 3 levels of parking when it’s not for everyone!

A relaxing getaway

My husband and I had a much needed relaxing getaway —surrounded by nature and water in a quiet location. Just a few miles to down town New Bern offered great restaurants, shopping and activities. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect Place!

Spent 6 days in this perfectly situated cottage out in the pines, by the river! The hosts were friendly and attentive and welcomed Mister Max, my nervous doggy, with open arms! Everything you would need is in the cottage and if you're outdoorsy, you have options outside, too!Hoping to see you again!

Cute house / great stay

This house on the river was the perfect destination for my mother’s 80th birthday. We made great memories. Very dog friendly. Our dog loved jumping off the deck and swimming back to the shore with sticks. Would definitely stay here again.
