We stay here often as we have family in the area. It’s such a sweet cottage. My elderly mother-in-law has taken to calling it “our little yellow house”. It does feel like our home away from home. The owner is fantastic to work with. We’ll remain loyal renters for as long as we have family here.
We had a wonderful weekend in New Bern! The house was perfect! It had everything you could possibly need for a weekend trip! We were so impressed by all the little details. The old charm of the house was adorable! It was in a perfect location for spending ample time downtown. It was a super short drive or uber ride to the local shops and bars. Everyone we met was so friendly. We would definitely rent again!!
Cottage is always great. I have stayed 3 times now and everything is just as described in listing and the property manger is great in communications. Highly recommend this property.
My wife and i stayed here while in town for the Cherry Point airshow. It is a very cute and clean little house that has great access to many nearby activities.
We would definitely love to stay here again, thank you
We had a great stay at this property! The host was incredibly easy to communicate with and was extremely responsive. We had a terrific time with family and the location was just perfect. Highly recommend this property!
We loved staying at this comfortable and clean bungalow. It had everything we needed. We have family in New Bern so will definitely be looking to stay here again.
This was a great house and had everything needed to feel like home away from home. The location to family was just perfect. Seemed central to everything.
Amazing two bedroom cottage on plenty of land, super clean and up to date. Beds were very comfortable and you can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in this house. Very up to date, tons of amenities and extras. Highly recommend this house!!
This home was just as described with great amenities! Very clean, lots of room to relax and the kitchen was easy to cook in! Wonderful energy and aesthetic! Would book again for sure!
We enjoyed our stay in this cute bungalow. The house has a nice layout and the hosts added nice touches like good coffee, thick towels, and comfortable beds. We hope to stay here again.
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!
We were in town for a retirement. This cozy house was truly home away from home. Cozy and inviting. She was stocked with more than you could imagine to make the stay easy. The location was great, easy to access. We were able to head out the the beaches a few days and it was super great to be able to come back and hose everything off before our return home. Highly recommend and would stay again
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.
The house was clean. The backyard and screened in porch was nice. Easy to find location. Good communication with owner.

About the host
Hosted by Maura J Allard
Three years ago after a visit to New Bern I bought a home here. I loved it so much I wanted to share this beautiful city with as many people as I can. Hence I am opening the Beautifully Balanced Bungalow. I'm no stranger to Airbnb's, I have another one in Beverly Massachusetts (right next to Salem) and I frequent Airbnb's whenever I travel. Prior to our move to New Bern I was a full time Realtor where I learned first hand what people want in their homes. I now run an energy balancing company where I energetically cleanse homes, incorporate holistic Feng Shui design features and energy balancing of space (removal of EMF's, etc.). The name of my business is Wind, Water and Wisdom. So in addition to the space looking great I also want it to FEEL great. In my free time you will find me walking the shores of the Crystal Coast, on the hunt for a great cup of coffee, walking my dog downtown or riding on our motorcycle down the windy roads of Eastern North Carolina.
Why they chose this property
As a former Realtor my very favorite house is a bungalow and when I think of the South I immediately am drawn to a bungalow with a porch swing (insert sweet tea). I'm a huge fan of porches and outdoor space. This house offers a large front porch and back screened porch overlooking a large backyard. The home offers all the creature comforts to make a stay enjoyable from a physical standpoint and an energetic standpoint.
What makes this property unique
A fully packed beach bag complete with sunscreen, two beach towels and two sand drink holders. Fresh ground coffee from my favorite local coffee shop. I am happy to provide for your arrival a custom charcuterie board complete with a bottle of wine, beer or your favorite beverage (just ask me how). Live plants for health, crystal placement and feng shui touches for energy balancing and the house will be cleansed with sage prior to your arrival to remove any of the last guests energy. I want your stay to be filled with peace and ease.
