Best Location in Oriental, NC! King Room.
Good place to stay only down side is the walls aren’t very sound proof woke up and heard the neighbor snoring a couple times😂 Great location

Waterfront Getaway in sailing village of Oriental
The place was really nice with a useable dock on the water. The host was super friendly and responsive and gave us some good local recommendations. It was definitely a quiet, quaint, and peaceful getaway!

Sandpiper
Sitting on the wrap around porch of this end unit gave beautiful, serene views of the water and boats. Watch the fishing or kayaking while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee provided by the host. Inside the unit is just as nice being clean, comfortable, and modern with beach vibes. Plenty of blankets, pillows and even a mattress topper. Will visit again and highly recommend!

Luxury 2 BR. Suite, Bead Diva Loft
We travel to eastern NC every year to vend at a local festival and always enjoy finding a new BnB to stay in. This location was excellent and is the perfect spot for 2-3 guests. Super clean and felt like home!

Luxury 2 bedroom suite, Cloud Break
Jennifer was a wonderful host. She upgraded us to a larger cottage due to work she needed to do to the original place we booked. It was a great location for us. We were in town for CycleNC Coastal Bike ride and we could ride our bikes to the registration area and the starting line. We could also walk to a couple of restaurants and a microbrewery. She was very responsive and getting in was a breeze, as was checkout. Thx so much Jennifer for being such a great host!

Sailor’s Choice @ Blackwell Point Marina
This apartment was perfect for the 3 of us. It has everything you need. the view is beautiful. The beds and furniture was comfortable. We loved it and can't wait to stay again. Thank you Sarah, you're a wonderful host.

New Bern Waterfront Porch Escape
We absolutely loved our stay at the New Bern Waterfront Porchescape! The home was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully outfitted with everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to all the shops, restaurants, and charm of Downtown New Bern. We barely used our car! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, making us feel right at home. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the porch, enjoying the peaceful views and coastal breeze. This place is a true gem—we can’t wait to come back!

The Loft on the Neuse
Results took immediate response to a few inconveniences.Cottage is very peaceful, sitting on the chairs at the end of the dock to watch the sunset was fantastic.Watching the train slowly crawl over the river was calming to us both.The cottage was stocked with everything needed. New Bern was very close and enjoyable to walk about and visit to the Tryon Palace was interesting as was the Battlefield. The Cottage was a great place to relax and recharge .

Captain's Quarters w/ Boat Slip
The Captains Quarters was a great stay for my family and I. The boat ramp, which is literally right out the front door, being available was a huge plus as we brought our boat. The outside space was wonderful and the inside space was the perfect size for 3 kids and 2 adults. The inside space was very cozy and has a great view of Blounts Creek. This is a perfect stay for the fishermen and hunters as well as family's looking to stay in a relaxed environment and spend some time outdoors. Judy was very communicative and helpful with any questions we had. Will definitely be staying many times again in the future.

Neuse River Retreat
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. Terry is an exceptional host, she went above and beyond to accommodate a special request and made sure we had everything we could possibly need and more for the perfect stay. The surroundings are beautiful and the cabin is so charming. We would absolutely book again and recommend anyone else to do so!

Drake's Cove -Waterfront Oasis
We had an amazing stay! The property was immaculate, beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The water view was stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. Our teens loved the variety of games and spent hours enjoying them. The nearby rec center and putt putt course were a huge hit and added to the fun. Communication with the host was quick, friendly, and helpful—they made everything easy from start to finish. The location was perfect, close to everything yet peaceful and quiet. We’ll definitely be back!

The River House w/Boat Dock and Kayaks
Zero issues! Everything went smooth. Got this for my grown kids to come visit and they enjoyed the stay. Will definitely come back !

Welcome to Sailors' Haven
Lisa’s place was great! It was cozy and the design was really well thought out. She had a lot of nice little touches and it was easy to feel right at home. The couches were so comfortable which made it super easy to relax. Lisa was really responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend if you’re coming to Oriental!

Riverfront New Bern House: Gourmet Kitchen & View!
Our family enjoyed the convenience to the family that we were visiting, and everything was clean and working properly. There is a faucet in the kitchen sink that has the valves reversed from a normal installation, but I figured that out. There were plenty of chairs on the deck and the house was interestingly appointed and homey. I need a bit more light and I thought it could have been more bright in the master bedroom. The only thing my elderly mother complained about was that there was a flight of stairs to climb to get to the bathroom. Not much can be done about that, so I think it is a nice house to stay in and we would do it again. Mom probably won't make another trip there anyway. The A/C system works well and you can change the temps in various rooms. Kept us cool all the time.

Dream Weaver
Great little place. You can tell it’s a nice little water community of similar getaway style homes. Clean and easy.
