Cute and well done!

The house is perfect for a couple or small family. Amenities are great and the house is in excellent condition. It was everything we were looking for...walkable to downtown and fenced in yard for fur babies. Coffee shop and great restaurant a block away. Would definitely stay here again.

New Bern Scouting Trip

A charming little house, one of the oldest in New Bern. The location sits in the Beer-muda triangle (super close to three local breweries) with easy access to downtown. Great communications with the owner.

Overall this property was what we needed, for our family of 4, loved that it was pet friendly as we took our dogs and it had a fenced in back yard. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms nice and updated. Kitchen looked stocked, though we did not cook. Beds and furniture were comfy along with throw blankets to use while there. We didn’t get to enjoy the back porch much due to rain but it was nice to sit when the dogs were out in the back yard. The home is very close to Tryon Palace and diagonally across the street from a bar and brewery which one night had a food truck. It was also walkable to the main part of town and accessible from both the front door and the back door. Couple of things to note, the bedrooms do not have doors and the master is upstairs and the other room is in the basement. Additionally since this is an older home, the ceiling height is low so if you are taller it might be a tight fit. Great rental option in New Bern!

Adorable Cottage

This wonderful cottage was everything we were looking for when dropping our children off at Camp. Tasteful and thoughtful decor and amenities. Great private backyard and we really enjoyed the bikes and biking to downtown New Bern. Beautifully restored piece of local history and close to everything! Host was responsive and accommodating.

This place is a gem. All the rooms were immaculately clean and sparkling. I had seamless connectivity with the Wi-Fi. The bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything and more. The host was remarkably responsive and accommodating. Everything is within walking distance; didn't need my car at all during those three days. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Perfect Storybook Cottage

This restored cottage is very well restored and more importantly while maintaining charm, is modern in execution. Very walkable neighborhood and close to downtown. I parked my car and did not need to use it again until I left. The home is as described and all amenities worked well. The owner is vey easy to work with and welcoming.

Race weekend

The owners thought of every little detail at this house. We were very comfortable and the furnishings were beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. The dishwasher is not full size so if you plan to cook a lot bring paper plates. We enjoyed our stay and would rent again!

Outstanding

We have stayed at several VROBs and this is definitely among our favorites. Everything about the house and the yard was perfect! The host had thought of everything that provide convenience, entertainment, relaxation and comfort. The only complaint was location as it was a little further walk to the shops and restaurants than we were expecting. However, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Couples Getaway!

We absolutely LOVED the Alston Charlotte house!! Such a cute place and a short walk to so much dining and night life! We all said we would stay again in a minute! The house and set up was super easy, check in and out was a breeze and everything was so ready and available…down to coffee and basics to do a quick load of laundry! We enjoyed every minute of our stay even through a tropical storm! Y’all, stay at the Alston Charlotte!! You will not regret it!

A beautiful historical cottage within walking distance of the town centre.

We stayed for a weekend to check out New Bern and all the historic homes and buildings. This home has been beautifully decorated to a very high standard . Every little detail has been thought out to make your stay more comfortable. We loved having our morning coffee in the pretty back garden whilst our two dogs enjoyed pottering about . The house was immaculate and a real joy to call our home for the weekend . We will definitely be back .
