Location was great. Close to all and downtown. Park was close and meeting and talking to the people was good. Morgan’s Bar and Grill was outstanding. The Farmers Mkt. worth the visit. On the way home we are at a place called The SeaGlass for breakfast and it was great. Will go back.

Loved this place! Walking distance to everything with a cute back yard. Clean and modern kitchen and bathrooms. The hosts were easily accessible if we needed them, however, we had no problems at all. I have recommended this space to others.

Everything about the Sea Turtle Cottage was perfect. Located in the historic district, only one block from the river, the inn has been updated inside to provide all the amenities we like when we travel. The yard was beautifully landscaped and private. My visit was in June so I had no reason to use the fire pit, but it was inviting. As was the hammock under the trees and the hot tub. I will definitely stay at The Sea Turtle again. Crystal and Ray were the best hosts.

Cottage was perfect for our stay. Very spacious kitchen, bedroom and living space. Screened in porch and back yard was very relaxing. Clean and very welcoming. Walking distance to downtown, river front, shops and dining. Definitely stay there again on our next visit to New Bern

Even better than the photos! As I told the hosts Chrystal & Ray, and my friends and relatives that visited me, I would rather stay at Sea Turtle Cottage than any of the 4 & 5 star places that I have been to previously.

My family stayed at the sea turtle cottage while I was on a business trip in the area. The cottage was well maintained and decorated. My wife and daughter were extremely comfortable during our stay. Ray & Crystal were wonderful host, they are among the most attentive host I have ever had while staying at rental properties all over the country.

My partner and I wanted to get away from the city (Philly) with our dog, Charlie. Though the weather didn't always cooperate, our trip was fantastic thanks to the Sea Turtle Cottage! The hosts were wonderful and very communicative. The cottage was peaceful and comfortable. Charlie loved being so close to the water and stalking the squirrels in the backyard! We will definitely return!

Everything awesome from check in to checkout. Super hosts! I was able to walk the whole town easily and the glorious sunrise was right out my door over the river. Also a delight to stroll the historic district and see the wonderful old homes close up! I’ll be back!
