Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Craven County

Do not hesitate, book this Airbnb today! Michael and his wife are responsive with any questions! This house is clean as the linen’s, blankets, and towels smelled like Downey fabric softener! The furniture was comfortable and the beds slept amazingly with Hotel sheets and pillows. Yes, I even had to see what type of pillow it was so I can order myself one. The large backyard for my two Yorky service dogs was priceless and very secure! The covered patio with luxury furniture was so comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed a quiet morning of listening to the birds as my puppies laid on the cool concrete as I drink my coffee. Michael immediately sent me the code to get into the residence. I felt very safe here and I also noticed this was an exceptional neighborhood! Law-enforcement officer living across the street made my family feel very safe when we left. You turn out of the neighborhood and go right and you’re literally five minutes from downtown to restaurants, and shopping.

We had a wonderful time at the railroad cottage. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable and in a great location. The host provided recommendations that were very helpful. If you are visiting New Bern, stay here!

This is a great place to stay and relax. Tim was very responsive and proactive. We were checking in the day after a bad snow storm and he contacted us right away to let us know how the roads were and what to expect. Since it was snowy and cold, we did not get to use the amenities. But the house is located right next to the kayak launch area and it was a very short drive to the pool/club house. We come to this area often and will definitely be staying here again!

We loved our stay here. We all felt right at home. The location can't be beat - only 5 minutes by car to downtown New Bern and all of the sights. This is a nice historic neighborhood and we enjoyed time on the big front porch and the back porch. I really appreciated that there were LOTS of Keurig pods, including decaf! No need to buy coffee although there was also a standard coffee pot in the cabinet if you have a different preference. There was one comment in our group that the downstairs bed was too soft for her preference but that everything else was perfect. The upstairs bed was perfect for us. The little nook in the front of the upstairs hallway was a great place for a book and morning coffee while everyone else was still sleeping. This home has a great combination of spaces for time together and apart. Kitchen had everything we needed. And we appreciated having access to local channels to watch the NCAA championship. You really can't go wrong with this beautiful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed this home and will rent it every time we return to New Bern. Peter was terrific, sent highly detailed instructions and information before we arrived that made our start of vacation seamless. I highly recommend this location.

We had a wonderful stay! The property was peaceful and private with a beautiful view right next to the canal. My kids especially had a blast fishing off the dock — it quickly became their favorite part of the trip. The setting was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely love to come back!

Kelsey was super responsive and communicated very clearly.

Great location, not a high traffic area but close to a lot of businesses. Comfy home feel.

Good place to stay only down side is the walls aren’t very sound proof woke up and heard the neighbor snoring a couple times😂 Great location

Our stay has been great! We needed to be close by base for the SunDown Event on Cherry Point. We absolutely loved the cleanliness and the space it provided for us. Brian was very responsive when it came to our arrival and understanding of our long travel from Florida. Look forward to booking there again soon!

The place is a gem if you want to BREATHE! We are on the road quite a bit so to find a place surrounded by nature is a GEM! We LOVED the chickens, the frogs, the birds, the fireflies, deer, dogs cat, Bacon the pig, along with the sweet hosts Tom and Bob. After a day of sightseeing we looked forward to sitting on the front porch and exhaling! If you can, go to the boat ramp to see the beautiful moss laden cypress trees.

We loved watching a doe and a fawn each morning. The view was spectacular. The accommodations were wonderful. The place was clean. Loved that Celeste met us at our arrival. The covered parking garage was also a plus. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Our stay was wonderful, the home very well appointed, and Jim, indeed a very gracious host, who was highly responsive and helpful whenever I had any questions. Would love to go back whenever we are in the area next. Thank you again, Jim!

We really enjoyed our stay. This is a great location that's very walkable to Tryon Palace and the rest of downtown New Bern. The decor is lovely, it was very clean, and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the New Bern Waterfront Porchescape! The home was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully outfitted with everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to all the shops, restaurants, and charm of Downtown New Bern. We barely used our car! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, making us feel right at home. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the porch, enjoying the peaceful views and coastal breeze. This place is a true gem—we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful stay, very peaceful

Great place to stay! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, playing golf at Harbour pointe and exploring downtown new Bern on day 1, and then touring tryon palace, playing disc golf, and enjoying the amenities on property on day 2. Sara’s is a great dinner spot nearby for dine in or pick up!

JD was great from start to finish, always very helpful and quick to respond. The unit was perfect for me, great amenities, and the location is stellar. So many great restaurants, shops, and bars within a 1-2 minute walk. I stayed for an entire month and will definitely do it again if my remote work job permits the opportunity again in New Bern.

This place is very well appointed - anything you might need was there! It's a lovely space, nicely decorated in an oceanside theme, spotlessly clean, with comfortable furniture and a comfortable bed. The owner offered access to a nearby recreation center, and we would have loved to but it was very much a working weekend for us and we did not have time to take advantage of that. There's plenty of parking available and getting in was quick and easy. Highly recommended and would rent again next time we need a place in the area!

My family & I had a great stay, beautiful home with everything we needed. Dawn was very responsive and helpful. We saw lots of deer and squirrels, moon over the river was beautiful. A great retreat after beach days and running around New Bern.

Great view in the balcony and very pleasant stay. Only complaint was trying to get the elevator to work since the loft was on the 3rd floor, all luggage had to be carried up. Would have not known there was an elevator but since we were shown there was one from the host, we assumed it was working and accessible. Kinda pricy for 3 nights but overall was worth the location and walking distance to all the major attractions downtown.

Steve and Elizabeth were amazing hosts, their place was spotless and was as advertised! Additionally, they were very responsive to all messages and more than helpful! Will stay again in the future!

Nice little studio condo. Had everything I needed and was very clean. The neighborhood felt very safe as well.
