A nice home to stay at

This was a nice home to stay in for our holiday away. It was clean, activities on-premise, and close to shopping & places to eat. The beautiful sunrises and sunsets with a great view of the marina. They were very helpful in providing recommendations (BreakDay Charters, Kayaking, food, beach, trails, etc.). Thank you for the ideas and sharing your home!

my sons and i stayed here to celebrate my mum’s (who lives in the neighborhood) birthday. the home is very comfortable, with three full bathrooms that are all well-supplied with shampoo/conditioner/body wash and other necessities. starter supplies of coffee etc were there as well as a kitchen fully stocked with essentials for cooking. the views of the marina are lovely. terri and david were excellent communicators (better than i am bc i missed two of their messages). if you are staying in the fairfield harbor area, i highly recommend this home.

The owners are very kind and patient. We came to New Bern to celebrate my brother-in-laws 75th birthday. We went to Atlantic beach one morning & found lots of shells. The fort was interesting. I would highly recommend the Pelicans Nest to my friends.

Beautiful Area; Nice home

We stayed here for a wedding at Amelia Grove. Nice home and perfect for us. Bedrooms we’re comfortable and it was much nicer than a hotel-we had a nice common areas to spend time together. A bit far from downtown New Bern (about 15-20 minutes) so keep that in mind. Hosts were very communicative and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Terri and David Payne

Host profile image
Hi... We are happy you clicked and stopped by to read about our unique property! David and I are avid water people! We purchased our property in 2016. At first we weren't thinking of VRBO, but since we travel between NY and Atl., we decided to share with others while we are not there! We actually met on the water, in a beautiful Cay in the Bahamas called Hopetown. You will find a few pictures in our home from Hopetown. David is a sailor and has known about New Bern for years. He actually went to Oriental to buy a sailboat, never bought his there but did fall in love with the area! One reason we bought this unit is the proximity to the water, the sailboats! We absolutely love it here. We hope you will as well!

Why they chose this property

No need to explain much why we bought this property! The views say it all. Along with the tranquility of the area, but also the proximity to the beautiful town of New Bern which we adore! Fairfield Harbor is a family friendly area, safe with many activities. Boating, kayaking, golf, swimming, tennis, basketball, biking and many more. Their are beautiful National Parks close as well.
