About this cottage rental
We hope you’ll enjoy the amazing views, frequent breeze, unforgettable sunsets and quick drive to downtown New Bern as much as we do. Nestled waterfront in quiet Bridgeton, across the water from New Bern, you can enjoy the river while taking in the view of the New Bern waterfront from the sun room, living room, open deck, screened in porch or yard. There is a free NC Wildlife boat ramp just minutes away for boat launching and Bridgeton has a nice waterfront park that is a short walk away with a kid’s play structure, picnic area and open recreation field.
Guests are more than welcome to enjoy the dock! There are gray, plastic Adirondack chairs located next to the back deck steps that can be taken onto the dock. Please do not leave them unattended, as the wind has a tendency to blow things into the water. The boat lift pictured is not available for guest use and a boat (also not for guest use) will be present on the lift during most stays as will a sailboat in the wet slip. Please do not board the boats. There is currently no ladder into or out of the river.
We currently do not allow pets on property or smoking (or vaping) in the home. In order to help safeguard the property (and keep on eye on weather conditions) we have two security cameras present- one at the front door (a doorbell camera), and one facing the waterfront. The cameras are strictly for security purposes and do not record continuously.
Please note, our cleaner's rate structure varies by number of guests (linens) as do operating expenses (utilities). To be as fair as possible to couples and small families, our nightly charge and cleaning charge reflects six or fewer occupants but we welcome larger groups of up to ten. To help account for the difference in our expenses, the rental structure includes a $10 per night, per guest charge for each guest over six to offset the higher utilities and cleaning fees we must pay.

We have stayed in New Bern before but wanted a different location besides a hotel. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck then on the evening our wine on the deck watching the river flow by. It was also a good base to go explore neighboring towns and islands. We would love to go back.

We fell in love with the cozy house!! Perfectly set up as your home away from home!! I’ve stayed at many places and I must say this was about the cleanest home I’ve experienced! The sunsets are amazing. Loved the screened in porch with swing. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy. We hope to return again!!

Overall, the experience was exceptional.

It's a nice, quiet, clean house with a lovely night view of New Bern across the Neuses River. Very comfortable. Well appointed, nice large kitchen and master bedroom. Easy communication with the hosts. We enjoyed lounging around while reading, and we also used it as a base to cover coastal Carolina. Had a very nice, relaxing time. Easy communication with the hosts. Would definitely recommend this property.

We were there for a wedding. Would love to go back so we could hang out more on the beautiful porch and dock.
10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed the wonderful view and had a great time fishing - caught two spot and one trout off the dock at the house.
It was a super location as the MumFest in New Bern was a beautiful drive across the river. In the four days we were there, we ventured to Shackelford Island for sea shells/horses and even traveled to Aurora and had fun digging up 500 million year old sharks' teeth, shells, and rocks.
The home was very well stocked. Nothing lacking. Our only suggestion would be to have a coffee pot that automatically turns off.
We certainly would book this home again!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this immaculate, comfortable home right on the banks of the Neuse River. We particularly enjoyed the option of a screened-in porch or sitting on the open deck to enjoy the evening breezes. Great proximity to New Bern and not far from Beaufort, Cherry Point MCAS and Morehead City.. Great communication with host...just a great stay.

The property was perfect for us. loved the location to town and the view and river had a calming effect on our busy schedule.
Just a few things to consider adding... iron and board, BBQ and some smaller for eating say ice cream or yogurt and fruit. We would rent the house again and recommend it.

We especially liked the variety of spaces the cottage offered no matter what weather-screened in deck, outdoor deck, and sunroom. We would recommend and look forward to coming back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Susan's waterfront cottage. The cottage has been remodeled recently and has everything we needed. It was very clean and communication with Susan was easy. It is directly across the Neuse river from New Bern in a quiet neighborhood. The views are fantastic. About 10 minutes to downtown New Bern. If you want to visit New Bern and prefer not to stay in town this cottage is ideal.
It is exactly what we wanted and I would recommend it to anyone visiting New Bern.

Qauint New Bern is just a short distance and has many sites to see. We would stay here again for sure. Clean, roomy and relaxing. Host communicated well and many amenities provided. Great to have a washer and dryer! We had a great time.

Wonderful views and so conveniently located to get to New Bern or to primary roads. The house was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and had multiple places to sit and read, work, relax and take-in the views of the river and New Bern. The neighbors were chatty but, then again, they are seagulls!

We stayed at this property while at a dance competition in New Bern. The house was impeccably clean and well kept. There was much more space in the home than we expected, and we are so thankful we chose to stay here. We definitely hope to be back.

It was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. The location was perfect and only minutes from downtown New Bern. And the view every day was beautiful.

My friends and I stayed here for a girls weekend! We had the best time. Like the other reviews say, this home has everything you could possibly need. I’ve never stayed at another home with the kitchen being fully stocked like this one is! Everything was beautiful. You can’t beat the back porch and the view! Would definitely come back here and would recommend it to anyone!

We had a great stay at the cottage. Everything was exceptionally clean and well taken care of. The owners thought of everything you might need. I loved the décor and the cottage feel. The views of the river were fabulous as were all the seating in the sunroom as well as the deck and screened in porch.
The owners were thoughtful and replied to questions very quickly.

This home is an absolute gem and we highly recommend it! So conveniently located (7 min drive to historic downtown New Bern), the home was sparkling clean and very comfortable with multiple places to relax, read, play board games, be together, be alone, and enjoy meals. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed - ice cream scoop? Check. Mixing bowls? Check. Griddle for French toast? Check. Ziploc bags? Check. Clearly a lot of thought went into setting up this home for maximum comfort and we greatly appreciated it.
Bedrooms included large TVs mounted on the wall and beds that were very comfortable - our 12 year old granddaughter rated her sleep as bussin’ which apparently is quite decent. Showers were very nice with plenty of towels available.
We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and one morning, we were stunned to see a pod of dolphins swim by very close to the house - in the Neuse River!
Favorite spots included the sunroom, the deck to watch the spectacular sunsets, dinner on the screened porch, and the porch swing (which was enjoyed by all). So glad we found this home on vrbo, hope that we get the opportunity to visit again!

If you are trying to find the best place to stay for your vacation/trip then look no further because you have found the perfect place! This is by far the cleanest place I have ever stayed. I stayed for one month and the kitchen was stocked with everything that I needed and more. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. The location is perfect! There is a grocery store 5 minutes away and downtown New Bern is a short 10 minute drive. The pictures truly don’t do the view from the deck justice. The host were amazing and extremely quick to respond. Everything about this place is a 10/10! I will definitely return in the future!
