We had to be in New Bern for work for about 6 weeks. The host was great to deal with. She was very quick with responses if we reached out with a question or issue. Great location for walking to downtown businesses as to not have to try and find parking.

A charming house and very comfortable. It has been renovated perfectly - it has all the charm of an older house but all the modern amenities. The coffee service in the kitchen was a nice touch and very appreciated. The location is great, a few blocks from downtown.

Beautiful weekend

We came into town for a funeral. There were five adults in our group. Great location. Not only could we walk to town for meals, we could walk to the church service as well. Very clean and large home and beautiful, quiet walking neighborhood. We are so glad to have found this place.

Great location. Spacious accommodation s

We stayed here for a weekend. The house is very spacious with more than enough room. Large bathrooms that are very nice and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable but could use some new pillows and would have liked TVs in the bedrooms. Kitchen well equipped and every type of coffee/tea maker you could want. Small private backyard with nice large porch and good seating. Quiet area walking distance to downtown. Host was responsive and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful home and perfectly located

This home is so much larger than it seems from the street. It was perfect for our group of 6. Well appointed and Kelley was quick to respond with any questions. The two living rooms allows for kids and adults to have their own space to hang and all the furniture is so comfortable. Will absolutely book this property again!

Fantastic house and location

This house was actually much nicer in real life than the listing did Justice for. My family and I were impressed the moment we pulled up to the curb and walked into the house. We enjoyed just hanging around our the deck and porch as well as the fantastic neighborhood location and easy walk to beautiful downtown New Bern. Would stay here again on our next visit to the area.

Exceeded Expectations

Each side of this duplex is spacious, welcoming and accommodating. We were in New Bern for our daughter's wedding and our family rented both sides. We had a couple of get togethers before and after the event. The properties are a joy to visit whether it's a quiet night alone or a family gathering. 420 evokes the historical feel of the neighborhood and 418 is an impressive example of taste and elegance. Kelly's hospitality throughout the rental process even made that part enjoyable.

Old house

An old house- duplex.1903 and has old house smell.Overpriced. Outside is rough. Nasty Carpet throughout first floor and yucky couches. Bed linens were nasty looking. Glad I brought my own. Bathrooms updated and nice. Very nice hostess/owner lives on other side of duplex. Had a nice time with family there but won’t return.

A lovely home in New Bern

This is our second time staying at Kelley's home. We love everything about it; the character of the house, and being surrounded by other historic homes, walking distance to downtown's main fare. The place invites you to step out and just walk taking it all in. Then come back and finish your day at the front porch, a glass of wine and friendly neighbors passing by.
