Indulge in a purely relaxed vacation in the heart of Historic Downtown New Bern with a visit to The Captain's Stay. Housed within a charming circa 1800 home, this inviting B&B features all the romance and style of a bygone era, as well as a prime locale that’s within walking distance of all of the region’s top attractions.
The atmosphere is perfectly conducive to both exploring and relaxation, and guests can stroll to the harbor, historic attractions like Tryon Palace, and a range of restaurants, galleries and antique stores, or can stay close to home by enjoying the quaint and shaded front porch, or the breezy patio area with tables, hammock, and seasonal blooms. Additional common areas include a living room and dining room, where a hot breakfast is served daily, and guests will enjoy all-day access to the refrigerator, where ice and complementary beverages are waiting. On a rainy day, head to the game room with pool table, darts, chess, puzzles and other board games, or just retreat to the cozy antique-filled bedrooms that are designed for a good night’s rest. A perfect little haven for a quiet honeymoon or just a weekend of well-deserved relaxation, The Captain's Stay is truly a breath of fresh air.
The North Carolina History Center, which is part of the extensive Tryon Palace, is a new 65 million dollar complex which transports visitors back in time to explore New Bern’s more than 300 years of local history.
