About this house rental
Incredible sunsets on the Neuse River for your family in a home that has amenities! Sleeping up to 16, our property has a private infinity pool, hot tub, tennis court, basketball court, and ramp/dock area for your small boat should you decide to bring or rent one nearby. New Bern offers many historic attractions while a 20 minute ferry ride and 30 minute drive lands you at Morehead City and Atlantic Beach on the Atlantic Ocean. While we are remote, many guests are happy to never leave the property. We have many families where the grandparents, parents, and kids enjoy vacation together but our property is spread out so that individuals still have their own space.

What an awesome place!! We have rented many summer homes in the past for our family but this one was so much more than we expected. The mere expanse of the property is amazing. The lap/infinity pool/hot tub area is so extensive even with several adults using it, it never felt crowded. The pre-set music stations on the sound system in the work-out room (also great to have) was a great feature. The teens spent hours on the basketball/tennis court - with lights for evening use. The rocking chairs on the front porch were used almost 24/7. The view never gets old. Renee was helpful and quick to respond to our inquires. Even after we reported accidentally disabling some electronic equipment, Renee responded in a kind way. Thank you for allowing our family to enjoy this amazing property.

With a few upgrades throughout, this would be 5 stars across the board.

Beautiful views, great compound for a big group, all the rooms were larger and more comfortable than expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but encountered a few issues that we wanted to make sure other renters are aware of.
-The Infinity Pool was not functioning properly, as the outer basin was very dirty and not usable. As we understood it, there was a larger structural issue that caused the pool to leak water and would require major repairs. We appreciated that a temporary repair was done so we could use the main part of the pool. We were given compensation for the pool, however we would have appreciated being forewarned. It would not have changed our plans, but I have to think this was known to some extent prior to our arrival.
In general, the house and pool area were not clean. Most of the beds had dog hair from prior guests; one bed had bugs in it (not bed bugs); many areas under furniture or counters had crumbs/dust/food; swimming pool had debris (mostly cans) at the bottom.
We understand that the prior housekeeper had been let go and that the property manager and her family did their best to clean. We appreciate their effort but it was clearly not done by professionals, which we expected with the cleaning fee. We did some cleaning of our own and re-washed all of the sheets and were fine.
Trash storage is not reasonable for a house of this size. There are two good-size bins at the main house. We had 13 adults (and 3 toddlers) for a week, rarely left for meals and probably needed four bins. This caused trash bags to pile up, and unfortunately I doubt we left much room for the guests who stayed after us.
In general the Property Manager was very responsive during the stay…but after we left the tone changed and we were accused of leaving the house a mess and trying to “steal” rounds of golf from the local country club. To our knowledge none of this is accurate, but it left a sour taste in our mouth. Unfortunately I do not think we would be welcomed back.
Overall, we had a great time, it is a beautiful place if you are looking to hunker down and you are ok being farther from attractions. While we likely will not be back, we do hope that others looking to rent are aware of a few of the obstacles that we encountered.
