Delightful stay!!

This property is perfectly appointed! Close to restaurants and things to do. The home is decorated fabulously and spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend this property. The host was very kind and checked with us to see if we needed anything.

About the host

Hosted by Tamara Andrews

I am a travel luster, mother, wife, speech therapist. I have lived in New Bern for 30 years and absolutely love the area. I moved away 12 years ago to marry a man with four sons. The purchase of this home allowed me the freedom to come back to New Bern regularly and to share my love of the area, as well as my hosting and decorating passions with others.
I have always wanted to do a renovation/restoration project of an old home and this afforded me the opportunity to do so. I am a lover of old homes and all of their charms as well as a collector and picker of interesting furniture and decorative items. This home is a cumulative effort of my pursuits in these areas. I do hope that you will find delight in the decor, amenities, comforts, and charm that this old home and New Bern has to offer.

Why they chose this property

There was so much that drew me to this home. I love the charm of this Old Southern front porch with its large columns; the detail in the brickwork on the front of the foundation; the hardwood floors; and the old shiplap walls in the closet and bathroom. Its size is perfect for its comfort and coziness. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. The area is redeveloping and is convenient to Downtown and all of New Bern.

What makes this property unique

Hardwood floors throughout. High ceilings, beautiful sunlit rooms. Great Southern Front porch. Quaint back yard. Quiet and charming sidewalk neighborhood located in Historic District. 5-minute drive to Downtown. 1.2 miles to downtown, so an easy bike ride or walk. Water access 2 blocks from the house in the way of a small public park where you can picnic, wade, swim, put in a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe. Located a block from the Neuse River.
