Downtown!! - Vacation rental home in New Bern, NC

About this Property

• Apartment
• Approximately 787 square feet

Welcome to our beautiful 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in the heart of downtown New Bern. The iconic Spaight House, constructed ca. 1770, initially faced the Trent River before being reoriented to Metcalf St. between 1908 and 1913, and a huge rear two-story addition also transformed it into a duplex . In the 1940S, the home was further divided into 7-8 dwellings. The last remodel, until the current times, was in the 1970s. Beginning in 2020, work began to update each unit to retain the historic allure, original detail, and appeal of the Spaight House while adapting to the modern lifestyle. The property has a enchanting mix of long-term tenants and short-term visitors.

THE SPACE
A generous 785 square feet, our apartment features a King Bed, 3 Twin beds, Private Balcony, and Prime Location!

EXTERIOR
Unwind on the historic front balcony as you take in the photogenic Tryon Palace Gardens view. A glimpse of the Trent River awaits to your left. Embrace the convenience of being steps away from everything downtown New Bern offers!

LIVING ROOM
Sink into the sizable couch, wrap up in a comfortable blanket, and stream your favorite shows on the rare occasion you aren't hanging out in downtown New Bern during your stay! Appreciate the beauty of the fireplace, but please don't light a fire! This one's just for looks!

PRIMARY BEDROOM
Escape to our inviting primary bedroom, where a opulent king bed awaits dressed with European-style linens. European-style comforters are designed to provide each sleeper with their own individual covering, eliminating midnight blanket tug-of-war and improving individual temperature regulation.

Savor your choice of drip coffee or French Press - a luxury you won't find in a hotel room! Industry-leading Kinetico K5 water filter connected to the refrigerator ensures top-quality drinking water and ice for you and less plastic for the environment.

BEDROOM 2
Bedroom 2 homes a twin-sized bed, a twin-sized trundle bed, and a twin-sized fold-out chair/bed.

Booking the best New Bern vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To find the best value, try changing your family's Crystal Coast vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectrental:

• Start by having your family decide on the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Downtown!! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
