Absolutely wonderful
We loved the property. The cottage itself was roomy, clean, updated kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Our favourite part was the yard. There was a firepit with firewood supplied - and we had probably 3 fires. Chairs were set up and was so comfortable, when we were at the cottage we were outside. New Bern is a wonderful place to go, we went for a wedding and had never heard of it. We want to go back.

Location was great. Close to all and downtown. Park was close and meeting and talking to the people was good. Morgan’s Bar and Grill was outstanding. The Farmers Mkt. worth the visit. On the way home we are at a place called The SeaGlass for breakfast and it was great. Will go back.

Loved this place! Walking distance to everything with a cute back yard. Clean and modern kitchen and bathrooms. The hosts were easily accessible if we needed them, however, we had no problems at all. I have recommended this space to others.

The perfect cottage
Everything about the Sea Turtle Cottage was perfect. Located in the historic district, only one block from the river, the inn has been updated inside to provide all the amenities we like when we travel. The yard was beautifully landscaped and private. My visit was in June so I had no reason to use the fire pit, but it was inviting. As was the hammock under the trees and the hot tub. I will definitely stay at The Sea Turtle again. Crystal and Ray were the best hosts.

Even better than the photos! As I told the hosts Chrystal & Ray, and my friends and relatives that visited me, I would rather stay at Sea Turtle Cottage than any of the 4 & 5 star places that I have been to previously.

My family stayed at the sea turtle cottage while I was on a business trip in the area. The cottage was well maintained and decorated. My wife and daughter were extremely comfortable during our stay.

Spring Break in New Bern
My partner and I wanted to get away from the city (Philly) with our dog, Charlie. Though the weather didn't always cooperate, our trip was fantastic thanks to the Sea Turtle Cottage! The hosts were wonderful and very communicative. The cottage was peaceful and comfortable. Charlie loved being so close to the water and stalking the squirrels in the backyard! We will definitely return!

Everything awesome from check in to checkout. Super hosts! I was able to walk the whole town easily and the glorious sunrise was right out my door over the river. Also a delight to stroll the historic district and see the wonderful old homes close up! I’ll be back!

Sea Turtle Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was in the perfect spot for walking on the river, walking to eat again and again, walking to explore such a lovely town. Our hosts were amazing a d the cottage had a comfy bed, an excellent big screen tv with so many choices, and a never-ending hot shower. Book it whenever you can....you won't be disappointed.

Quiet Location in the Midst of Beautiful Downtown New Bern
Perfect location for us to visit this charming town! We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the beautiful neighborhood to enjoy the river just about a block away. Cute shops and delicious local restaurants were an easy 5 -10 min walk away, yet our cottage was very private and quiet. Hosts were very friendly, responsive, and kind. They provided bottled water and snacks, and a great list of ways to enjoy New Bern. We appreciated the cottage being dog-friendly. The off-street parking in front of the cottage made it very easy and convenient to unpack. The space is bigger and more sun-lite than expected. Great hooks by the front door! A small thing but thoughtful for guests. Thanks Ray and Chrystal for letting us stay in your cute and convenient cottage!

Awesome little cottage
Asweome little cottage nestled in a quiet little street just a few blocks from the heart of town. The location is great easily walkable to lots of great food and many different historical sites. We were there for a family wedding and could not have been happier. Would recommend to any family or friends, and would stay again.

We had such a wonderful time at this place! It has everything needed to make it feel like "home away from home". Ray and Krystal were super hosts! We enjoyed the fire pit both nights (plenty of wood) and the hot tub was awesome too after we ran the Colors for Cancer race Saturday morning. We cooked out on the grill Friday night and had everything we needed to prepare the rest of our meal inside. Thank y'all for making our trip great! We will be back for sure!

Perfect in so many ways!
Our hosts were lovely people. The electric charger was a huge help to lessen our anxiety in returning home (small towns can be a challenge ) The property was so convenient and attractive. We had plenty of room and thankful the person using the sofa bed didnt have to go through our bedroom to get to the bathroom. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Sheets and towels were plentiful and comfortable. Hot tub was great after our MS ride and clean. Daughter said sofa bed was really soft and uncomfortable. We figured out the tv since it was US open weekend and we were happy ! If any future improvement is made I’d suggest king bed. We don’t usually stay at VRBO homes but we’d love to come back! Thank you so much !
