awesome 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.

Condo was perfect for our getaway. Beautiful location and view of Marina. Quiet and peaceful. Loved the added touch of music CD player and album player. Hosts responded right away to a request. Will be back next family gathering.

Best place we've stayed in Fairfield Harbor

We were in this area for a regatta at Blackbeard Sailing Club. This was our 3rd stay in Fairfield Harbor and it was the nicest property so far. It was well maintained and stocked with all the essentials. We love boats, so the view was across the Marina was perfect. The hosts quickly responded to any questions I had, so they were very easy to deal with. However, this would not be a good place to stay for anyone with mobility issues. Like many coastal rentals the property is accessed via a set of stairs going up to the 2nd level and then the 2 queen bedrooms are on the 3rd level. The twin bunks are on the 2nd level but there is no dresser or closet in this bedroom. This wasn't an issue for us but it is something you might need to know.

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!

View of the Marina never gets old.

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.

Lovely Quiet Unit!

We had a lovely stay. The unit was even better in person than the photos! The kids bedroom is on a separate floor which might be bothersome for some with younger children. A short 3 minute walk to the indoor and outdoor pool which our kids loved! Beautiful view. We had all kitchen necessities. Thank you!

The Many Layers & Deer Too!

This was a definate seaside Marina vibe. The decor was dated and cute. The record player was fun to show my teens. I really enjoyed the private deck off The Master Bedroom. It was a treat to see the Deer come out to graze on a few occasions. The hosts provided many extras and a store was a short drive away for extras we needed. If all elsed failed..."Take Out!" Lastly, who dosen't rave about the top mini deck, and most of all "The View" :-))

Waterfront Marina

This property was Amazing! We had the best time. It was super clean, very comfortable, wonderful scenery. Anytime I had a question the host responded immediately! They were proactive and on it!. When we checked out my grandson left an item behind. I was immediately contacted with an offer to mail it to him! Now that's customer service. I would highly recommend staying at the Pelican's Nest at Fairfield Harbor

Stunning views and awesome hosts!

Awesomely beautiful location overlooking marina. Great amenities like indoor and outdoor pools and hot tub. Rec center activities nightly that you don’t want to miss. Everyone was so friendly. Our host, Terri and David communicated quite often via text to check up on us and give us recommendations and answer questions. They did everything they could to make us feel welcome and ensure we enjoyed our vacation. Thank You! Atlantic Beach is only an hour away, we loved Fort Nacon State Park - free parking! Would definitely pack suits and a lunch and head to Beaufort to take the ferry to Shackleford Island. Enjoy the ocean, Wild horses and beautiful and abundant shells. New Bern itself is a hidden gem. Great shops and restaurants. For local food we absolutely loved Sara’s Pizza. All in all we were extremely pleased with the location, the amenities, our hosts and their gorgeous location.

1st visit to New Bern

Nice place, convenient to New Bern, but far enough away to enjoy some quiet time. The home was nice and clean. Harbor view is nice. Outside mosquitos were a little rough, so we didn’t spend much time on the porch. Definitely would recommend.

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.
