    Our second time staying here and the best words to describe it — in addition to all of the 5 stars — is the beauty of the peaceful surroundings overlooking the Neuse River.Thank you!

    This is truly a slice of heaven and I will be back. Dawn made the entire booking/checkin/checkout processes seamless. She’s definitely a 5 star host! Her condo is even nicer than advertised on VRBO - the only surprises were nice ones. And the wildlife in the area was amazing. We saw a BEAR. He just rambled across the road into the nearby blueberry farm. Amazing! Three deer and a bunny came by most mornings and evenings to graze out back and the birds in the marsh!!! Dawn even supplied binoculars for viewing them.

    Very enjoyable location, unit, and neighbors. Clean and fun indoor/outdoor community pool and kind staff to match. The putt-putt was well designed and unique.The unit itself is well stocked with appliances, such as a blender, and also it had a range of DVDs and books available. The unit was very clean upon arrival. The beds — comfortable. Dawn, the host, has great communication. She granted us a stay with two dogs and it worked out very well. Excellent view for book reading and a quiet remote location yet relatively close to New Bern.

    This is one of the very best VRBOs we have experienced! So very clean, beautiful setting on river / ocean marsh with sweet deer, bunnies, and interesting and meditative critter sounds. Very comfortable bed and seating area. Nice kitchen with the needful. Close to New Bern. Dawn is a fun and helpful host. She also shared passes to the recreative center that included classes, weight rooms and pools. We wish we could stay a week!
