Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Craven County

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Breeze Inn! The views were simply breathtaking, especially during sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon was a highlight of our trip. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making meal prep a breeze. We also appreciated the binder with all the helpful information about the area – it made exploring so much easier. Overall, it was a very relaxing weekend getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Yve’s place was wonderful. It was peaceful and perfect for our group. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. They loved running around off leash for a few days. Would highly recommend Yve’s listing to anyone looking for a place around Havelock or Newport.

Great home. Very responsive hosts. Home was everything advertised and more. The home was beautiful and had all amenties including a grrat work space. Would certainly stay here again

We enjoyed staying here! It was just like being at home!

I have used Ms Helen place before and she has always been best host. I try and book this place each and every time I come to New Bern! Thanks Ms Helen for sharing your home!

If you travel with dogs and love to have them with you, this is a fantastic place. It is completely clean and looks totally redone. Three rooms are beautiful everything’s on the first floor and our dogs could just go outside and enjoy a completely protected backyard. It was great. The owner even recommended a golf course that we loved. I would totally recommend this new burner was a beautiful little town and we will certainly be back

If we could give 6 stars we would. the cottage was clean and we felt right at home. Elizabeth was always right there for us for any questions, always friendly and flexible. She made checking in and out super easy, we couldn’t have asked for a better host. We will be recommending this to anyone coming to North Carolina, we can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in New Bern! The space was very private, which made it feel like a peaceful retreat. I really appreciated how responsive and helpful the host was throughout my stay—it made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable getaway!

I had a wonderful stay at this property. It was peaceful, and quiet. I loved the old furniture. You can tell everything is very well taken care of. I will definitely choose to stay here again in the future.

My stay at the Whitehust House was delightful. My host Pollie is amazing and incredibly helpful making sure my time spent here was wonderful. This is a first time staying in downtown New Bern and I love the fact I could walk everywhere. It was such a treat. Perfect location and terrific host makes it a place I plan to return.

Absolutely wonderful! Could walk everywhere we wanted to go. She was extremely responsive. The house had everything we needed even things we didn’t think about, like aluminum foil and ziploc bags. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful and much needed get away - Exploring New Bern was great - so convenient and we really appreciated how peaceful Lil'dock was. More spacious that the photos showed and so clean and neat! Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and seeing the sunset.

I stayed at this apartment for 8 weeks while I was on a clinical rotation for school. It had all I needed and everything was in great condition. Michael was responsive to any questions or issues extremely quickly and helped me when my plans changed suddenly. Great location, so close to the waterfront and to several great breweries and restaurants!

This was a perfect resting place while I was in New Bern on business. Separate entry and living space in a comfortable home was great to come back to at the end of the day. The house and yard are lovely. James and Jennifer are very hospitable and thoughtful hosts who make the booking and experience easy.

My fiance and I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! It was private, cozy, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location was unbeatable, within walking distance to everything. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and charming place to stay!

Very nice apartment. I enjoyed staying here. Thank you so much for the warm welcoming.

Christine's place is beautiful, clean, and the kitchen is well stocked. It is easy to find with parking. We enjoyed the area as well as lovely mornings and sunsets on the deck. The bathrooms/showers are great. Big closet and dressing area. The bedroom is spacious. She has quite a selection of books and puzzles and games. We would stay here again.

Great place worth the money. Will definitely be checking to see if its available next time we visit family in the area.

The stay here was very nice ! A Great host ,that communicated very well and was very helpful with making sure we knew everything before we arrived. Easy check in and the resort pool was awesome ! We will be back!!!

Sandra’s place was just as described. Pictures are accurate and the space is very nice. Sandra was very responsive to messages and very timely with responses as well. We enjoyed our time there . For my wife and I the bed was a little too firm but that’s just a matter of opinion and preference. Sandra was a flexible host and gave us the opportunity to check in at an earlier time. It was a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing stay at this Fairfield Harbour condo! The unit was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The view overlooking the Neuse River was absolutely beautiful—perfect for morning coffee or a quiet evening unwinding after a day of exploring. The layout was ideal for our group, offering privacy between the two bedrooms and bathrooms, which made it super comfortable for two couples. The master bath’s walk-in shower was a nice touch, and the second bath’s deep tub was perfect for a relaxing soak. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short drive to historic downtown New Bern, where we enjoyed everything from Tryon Palace to the birthplace of Pepsi, charming shops, and fantastic local restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, but still close enough to everything we needed. We also appreciated having access to the community recreation center—it really added to the experience!

You cannot get more downtown than this unit. Two bedrooms and bathrooms with a nice living space. Cannot recommend enough if you’re looking to “ditch” the car and walk to restaurants and bars. Great communication and super clean unit in a bit of New Bern history.

Great stay. Would definitely recommend
