Arapahoe, North Carolina
Nestled on a bluff with oaks and pines, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has panoramic views that overlook the soft, sandy beach of the big and beautiful Neuse River, the Americas widest river at 4+ miles across. The private beach and large, very equipped dock is perfect place for a relaxed family and/or fishing vacation, not to mention great for sailing, motor boating, canoeing, kayaking, bird watching, sun bathing, swimming or simply relaxing!
We're located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood that's great for quality family time and small children, taking walks, jogs or riding bikes. This is the ideal getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy peaceful, quiet click off time, away from the busy strife of everyday life. If you're a family with young children, the shallow waters of the Neuse offer a great place for them to wade without the worry of large waves and strong currents that oceans have.
Blue Heron Beach House is conveniently located a short drive from historic downtown New Bern where you will find art, entertainment, and fine dining. While in New Bern, stroll downtown for unique shops and enjoy a short walk to historic Tryon Palace and the North Carolina History Center.
We are conveniently located in the heart of "summer camp country", between the very popular camps, Camp Seafarer and Camp Seagull. We are mere blocks from Camp Seagull, the ideal location to stay when dropping off and picking up your children.
We strongly believe in families coming together to reconnect, relax and enjoy their time together. While there is a max occupancy limit of 10 people, please contact me if you require additional child guests (under the age of 12). Each request is handled on a case-by-case basis.
Our riverfront neighborhood is a short drive to the sailing capitol of North Carolina, Oriental, a quaint sailing village with shops and restaurants, where you can buy shrimp right off the boat (when in season).
Blue Heron Beach House is also an ideal place to stay if you'd like to take day trips to visit many of NC's beautiful coastal communities, including North Carolina's gorgeous Crystal Coast beaches! The Minnesott Beach Ferry, a few short blocks away and offers free service and a beautiful ride across the Neuse. From here, a short drive through the countryside will take you into historic Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach NC Aquarium and the beautiful beaches North Carolina is known for.
Enjoy your morning coffee and beautiful sunsets while listening to the waves lap upon the beach from the very large outdoor deck that overlooks the bluff or from the comfort of your own bed. The deck is also a great place to play corn hole (provided on site)
If you're a golfer, play 18 holes at the recently renovated Minnesott Beach Golf and Country Club that is just 2 blocks down the street. It offers a great new restaurant with professional chef. Under new ownership.
The newly remodeled, large square footage and open floor plan is designed with all the modern amenities to make for stay comfortable and relaxing. The entire back of the house has very large windows that offer stunning water views. This home comfortably sleeps 10, has and is fully furnished to include a fully stocked, newly remodeled kitchen, new washer/dryer set and bed linens and towels (inc. beach towels).
The 300 ft. dock is fully equipped with built in fishing rod holders, a fish cleaning station, crabbing traps and other amenities.
Relaxing spot and convenient boating. The dock and access to the boat ramp was really nice. Lots of fishing opportunities although we didn't catch much. However we had a great boat ride to Oriental to spend the afternoon . The sunset riding back up the Neuse to the cottage was spectacular. Thanks
We took our family for a perfect beach get away, we loved our stay here!!! Close to attractions yet quiet and relaxing!!!! We would go back again for sure!!
The property was clean and the host was super responsive
We had an excellent trip. The home is well furnished and is in excellent condition. All the amenities of home. We loved the location and spent a lot of time on the dock. Wonderful trip at a wonderful home. Hosts are awesome and very easy to contact and are very friendly. We would love to stay here again. Highly recommend the home!! Very clean and in wonderful condition!!
Our group included 4 young kids, 2 of which get easily overwhelmed in all the chaos of going to a public beach. Having this private beach right there in the back yard made for the best beach trip we've had! The waves were very small, so it was a great alternative to the overpowering waves at an ocean beach. The kids had an amazing time, we adults loved the kayaks and that we didn't have to haul a huge wagon of snacks and drinks down since the house was so close! The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cups, plates, pans, etc. House was clean and tidy with an unbeatable view. We plan to be back!
The home was very nice, roomy and very comfortable. The beach area was great and the fish were plentiful. We had a great time and loved every minute in the home. We had 10 people and it never felt cramped. The back deck was great to sit and relax and watch the water. Loved the home
Awesome. Perfect for what we needed
Rooms are large. Great view from living room. Bar was a favorite spot for boat watching. Kitchen was well supplied. Wish we had more time there. Right down the road Gary's down east seafood had some of the best fried fish. Would highly recommend this house.
We went to Minnesott Beach to join in my in-laws for Thanksgiving. And fell in love with the area, the view, the house. Comfortable accommodations, amazing water, sunset, and sunrise views. 5 stars all around.
A good time was had by all!
We had a great time! The water view is beautiful from inside as well outside. We had such a relaxing time. The dock is amazing at sunset and great for fishing. Also enjoyed kayaking (bring your own paddles and life jackets) and relaxing on the deck while watching the wildlife. Definitely recommend! Hope to return in the future.
The property and layout is awesome for families! We enjoyed many hours on the dock or in the water at the small beach. We had great success fishing here, and caught red drum, sea bass and bluefish along with some shrimps, crabs and bait fish. The kitchen was nicely equipped for meals at home. Will stay again!!
This was the perfect location for our family to have a quite weekend with some extended family. Lots of things to do on the water and space to spread out in the house. Really enjoyed the large windows overlooking the water. Great dock for fishing and crabbing. Had a great time. Thanks!
