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!

A perfect New Bern getaway
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!

Walk Away Your Worries
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.

Amazing place
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!
