Originally, I was supposed to come down with my 11 year old daughter but she got sick the two days before I left so the trip was just me.
The property is very quiet and centrally located if you want to check out New Bern and the Croatan National Park.
Since my itinerary with my daughter was blown I had to pivot to other things and the park turned out to be fantastic hiking. A quick 15 minutes away you also get to see the New Bern civil war battlefield with an interesting history. The house was great! Very clean and well maintained. I think it’s the best maintained property I’ve enjoyed using VRBO. Also, the owners were friendly and very nice. I brought my own dog which worked out great.

This is a lovely cottage. Immaculate and beautifully decorated. The owners are very friendly and the property on the riverfront is relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed our visit and hope to return.

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

From start to finish, everything was perfect. From communication, checking, stay and check out - could not have asked for nicer hosts, or place to stay.
