About this house rental
The Wacky Turtle is an updated, charming two story townhouse with it's own dock on a lovely canal. Bring your fishing rod! Tie up your skiff or small fishing boat on your own dock. This charming home is in a "Norman Rockwell" like community which is safe for jogging, walking, and enjoying the outdoors. If you like to golf you are a stone's throw from the community golf course with a restaurant & open to the public. Enjoy your morning coffee and the gorgeous view from the 2nd story balcony or from the deck off of the lanai or your personal dock on the water. Why is it named the Wacky Turtle? The turtles like to visit the dock area. Eat outdoors on the deck complete with a gas grill. Enjoy the view or have dinner in the Carolina Room (Lanai), with all windows over looking the canal on the first floor. The master suite has a full bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has an attached sitting room with a daybed/trundle. This is the room that can be used as a 3rd bedroom, separated by toile drapes. This bedroom has a balcony overlooking the canal. It also has a smart TV. WiFi is provided throughout as well as 2 designated parking spaces convenient to the front entrance. Quaint & artsy downtown New Bern on the water is a short drive. Paddle over to the marina close by with a restaurant & bar. You may rent this townhouse by the night (minimum of 3 nights), by the week, or by the (discounted) month. Golf & restaurants are a stone throw away. Karaoke at Attitude's Pub on Friday nights or "Shag" to beach music on Sunday's. Work crews are not permitted.

Beautiful place to getaway and exhale. Very peaceful. The pictures do not do the place justice. I would return.

Husband and I came down from Long Island to visit parents. Perfect location and close by.
Townhouse was immaculate and I loved that I could have my cup of coffee or glass of wine right on the canal! Downtown close by, shopping and hiking trails!
Connie was fantastic and responsive in a timely manner.
Will definitely be staying here again for my next family visit!

Found property to be to my expectations except the stairs. I am a senior and knew that there were stairs but each step is close to 11 inches high and I could only use them with the help of cane to propel myself to the next step. Everything else was great.

Lovely townhouse with everything you could want or need. Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the deck overlooking the canal. Owner was welcoming and easy to deal with. New Bern is a cute town. Walked up to the nearby River Brew Coffee House for delicious coffee every morning. Overall great stay!

Connie Sue,
Thank you so much for a lovely stay. We wanted for nothing, you thought of everything except I was surprised to discover that there was no stove in the kitchen. I don’t use microwaves but I made it work.
We will probably request to stay there again in a few months.

Had a wonderful stay here in River Bend, just outside of New Bern. The unit was clean, quiet, attractive and very comfortable for our visit! Next time, we will definitely stay here again!

Such a great location and quality of furnishings, cutlery, dishes, sheets, towels and toiletries. Good updated kitchen, baths and flooring. Pleasant sunroom complete with a lift chair (which I found to be a thoughtful and generous amenity!)
Fireplace with timered lights, fantastic area rug and large flat screen television made a comfortable evening chat space.
Large gathering table, comfortable beds. One of my favorite rentals so far, and we have been renting a long time.
If you are a baker, there is no oven, but the other appliances are top notch and counter prep space is adequate.
Beautiful view from back of home and master bedroom. Owner supplies a bike, kayak, paddle board, deck and dock.
Good price and owner is very personable and hands on. This home is clean, comfortable and just plain nice!
Recommend highly.

We absolutely loved the location and layout of this place. It was a beautiful place to stay for our wedding anniversary. I loved sitting outside in the morning with coffee and reading. The neighborhood was quiet, the design and decoration of the place was beautiful and everything worked well. The furniture and beds were comfortable too. We would stay again!

I have stayed at many vrbo's over the years - and this one by far was the nicest one I rented/stayed! All the little things that made it special but the décor and hominess of this waterfront townhome is what made it special for my stay. Loved the deck/dock/river view! Was the main reason we rented it and it did not disappoint.
We used the gas grill for dinner and all the kitchen appliances for breakfast and lunches. Beds were comfy and towels soft. Super close to New Bern so we explored the town one day and drove to the coast the next. Nice neighbors too as I took my morning walk. Would highly rec renting Connie's Wacky Turtle! Thank you!

We were needing to find a place to stay to attend our Nephew's wedding in New Bern. "The Wacky Turtle" was the perfect find for the family to enjoy the weekend and we absolutely enjoyed the beautiful views. This place was so relaxing and is very well maintained along with modern interior decor. Even though it was rainy for most of the day on Saturday, we were able to utilize the sun room area to still enjoy the outside views while keeping ourselves dry from the weather. It was a great location with just a short drive from the downtown New Bern area and we cannot wait to be able to come back again. Connie was very accommodating and was a pleasure to work with during our stay. We have added this one to the top of our list as one of our favorite places to stay and hopefully can enjoy a longer stay next time with some nicer weather. It was a very relaxing weekend for all and you will not regret booking this place for your stay!!!
