SUMMARY
Formerly an animal and vegetable farm, this handsome home sits on 10 acres and is only 2 miles from from hwy 55 and hwy 70 and not far from hwy 17. It has a cavernous yard with back porch and wheelchair ramp. Surrounded by a mature forest, the home is still a short drive from New Bern's burgeoning downtown, cozy eateries, trendy pier, and close by attractions such as local fishing, boating, bird watching, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Fort Jackson, Camp Lejeune, and Cherry Point.


THE SPACE
The home is new, but the land was farmed by my granddad and dad (and their siblings) since the early 1900’s. There were cows, horses, goats, hogs, chickens, dogs, and of course vegetables and flowers. Farming is what helped them survive the Great Depression, raise their families, and continue up to 2013 when my father sold the last goats. It really is a special place where time seems to stop and anxiety falls away. I hope you appreciate your stay.

This is a newer home and completely refreshed from the kitchen to the closets. There are tons of windows, which make the home bright and airy and provide vistas of the broad yard and field.

With 4 queen beds, everybody in your group will get the space and privacy they want for the price you want. The Master Suite has a queen bed, giant walk-in closet, and private full bathroom with garden tub and shower. The second bedroom has 2 queen beds and a walk-in closet. The third bedroom has 1 queen bed and a walk-in closet.

The home includes an eat in kitchen with breakfast bar and dining room, a huge living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and laundry room.

This home is great for individuals, families, or groups. Kids are welcome, but please note the home is not kid-proofed and does not provide any infant/toddler supplies or furnishings.


GUEST ACCESS
Guests can access everything, including a entirely equipped kitchen and the washer and dryer. Please, clean what you use (dishes, stovetop, spills, etc.) and return everything to its place (games, remotes, keys, etc.)


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
To stay in this home, at least one guest should be able to open the front gate by hand. It is about 20 lbs.

The interior doors are wide enough for wheelchairs and there is a ramp on the back porch.

This is a non-smoking home.

Family Animals and farm animals formerly lived on this property.


THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I appreciate this little area because it is a safe, peaceful, close-knit community. All of the neighbors know each other and are very friendly, but there is so much land between this home and the next, that there is tons of privacy. The home is tucked away, surrounded by mature trees and forest, but still less than 2 miles from highway 55 and highway 70 and not far from highway 17. You'll never have your roads blocked off for marathons and festivals, but you'll still be able to savor all the downtown activity.

You'll be about 10 mins. from anything in New Bern. With fast and simple highway access, downtown is nearly a straight shot from any close by road.

Tips to get the very best Pamlico area vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Pamlico area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Pamlico area area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Pamlico area area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sleeps 6 in 4 Queen Beds, former farmland, near New Bern, home of Tryon Palace. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Pamlico area vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• During check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
