Home away from home
This was our 4th stay at this property. We have family in the area and the cottage - or the “little yellow house” as my mother-in-law calls it ;-) - is just minutes away from where they live. It’s so comfortable and convenient to everything. The owner is very easy to work with and does a great job of responding quickly to any questions we have. We travel to New Bern about every 3 months now. It is truly our home away from home!

Great experience
This was the second time I have stayed in this property. Everything was great and the location near my family was perfect. Communication with the owner during a trip delay due to weather was excellent. Highly recommend this property. Look forward to staying again in the future.

Charming bungalow!
We stayed here for two nights to drop off our kids at camp, a big trip with lots of logistics coming from NYC, and this sweet house was such a welcome respite, the perfect place to stretch out. We loved the swing on the front porch (lovely reading spot), and the screened in porch our back was just the right size for yoga with my kids. Amazing attention to detail — candy jars, coffee and creamer, snacks, and lovely toiletries. A great family alternative to the motels and B and Bs in town, it’s a 5 min drive from the shops and restaurants we love in New Bern.

Perfect Little Bungalow!
We enjoyed our stay in New Bern! This house is very clean and well stocked with anything you would need. Beds are very comfortable. Close to town, but not in town. Convenient to all areas. Loved both the front and back porches! Especially the porch swing. Just what we needed. We will be back! Thank you Maura and Peter.

Home Away From Home
Highly recommend this very welcoming home in New Bern. During cooler weather, a convenient walk to shopping, dining and hospital. Very quiet neighborhood. Loved sitting on the porch swing in the mornings and evenings. Just a short drive to downtown. Beds very comfortable. Nice fenced back yard. A place I could live.

Mum Fest Fun
We came into town specifically for the Mumfest. The location of the house for this was ideal. And while most people jack up the prices of their rentals for this exact weekend, the pricing was very fair. I loved all of the originality that the house still had. All of the extra touches were especially homey. Everyone in the family said we should definitely stay there again and I agree.

Cute Bungalow
House hunting so wanted to be close to a lot of things like groceries, gas stations, downtown. Maura always got back to us quickly to answer any questions. Host was thoughtful and left tea-coffee-snacks-water out for guests which is so kind and helps to make being away seem like home.

Our stay was a short weekend getaway.
The cottage is awesome. It is clean and very comfortable. The owners are super easy to work with and very good communicators. New Bern is a fun and funky little town. This is a fun and funky little cottage to come home to. We gave the experience 5 stars even though we gave location 3 stars. If you want waterfront, choose a waterfront hotel. If you want a nice place to come home to after a fun filled day or evening, choose this cottage.

Picture Perfect
Your property is gorgeous and we are lovef being so close to downtown New Bern! You did a fantastic job with renovating and decorating this lovely home. My travel buddy and I have stayed at many VRBO's and this is one of the nicest at which we have been. The proximity to downtown makes it very appealing. The cleanliness, your notes, the snacks, coffee, kitchen basics, laundry basics, and personal touches are amazing. The local literature was also very helpful. I can understand why your reviews are always so positive!!! If I have a reason to be in New Bern again, I would definitely seek out this property!

New Bern little Gem
We loved the location, accessibility to Downtown New Bern and surrounding neighborhoods. We were in town to paint with the New Bern Plein Air event workshops. Thoroughly enjoyed the event and outstanding artworks, restaurants Penningtons on the Water, Lawsons Creek and the local favorites. Accommodations were wonderful, comfy, relaxing and everything we expected. thank you Maura for a delightful and refreshing environment. So relaxing! Loved the screened in porch with birds singing in the morning.

Cute and Cozy
My sister and I are originally from New Bern, we just don't get to go back often or as much. Since we had an ample amount of time off for the holidays, we decided to book this place (after reading reviews). We were super close to all of our favorite places to eat (Smithfield's Chicken &BBQ) and (Hwy55), just a couple (too many to list)!!! Maura's place has cute decor, I hated that I couldn't enjoy coffee on the porch (it was too cold), but I did love the porch swing! Overall, it was a great stay!!! Thank you Maura!!!!
