Downtown Historical New Bern! 'Higgins Downtown Depot' – Savor exclusive access to this entire home, unlike many other properties in the area that are divided into separate sections. With a cavernous layout and a huge private backyard, this gorgeously decorated, industrial railroad-themed home offers a unique experience that feels like a journey back in time, all while providing modern amenities. Located in the heart of historical downtown New Bern, you’ll be just steps away from shopping, coffee, food, and drinks. Highlights of this home include vistas of the Trent River from numerous rooms, calming on the front or side porch, roasting s'mores in the smokeless fire pit, playing cornhole, and watching the train pass right in front of your home away from home. Yes, the train really does run every day right in front of the home (very slowly and only during waking hours!) This multi-level home features tons of added conveniences and additional details (just wait til you see what all is in the kitchen!) as we live up to our company name, A Stay Above The Rest! Full of antiques, photos, and historical family treasures, this home is captivating, to say the least, but is also super kid-friendly with tons of toys, books, and movies supplied to ensure that all kiddos feel welcome and entertained!

You will feel like you are in a Hallmark movie while visiting this gorgeous town! Don’t let the vintage feel fool you, this home has opulent linens, fantastic amenities, and is very well maintained!! Gather around and savor the elegant open kitchen and dining area, entirely equipped with a Ninja Air Fryer (the best!), Ninja Blender, gourmet food processor, Keurig (with a frother for those lattes/ cappuccinos), a coffee maker, our signature KitchenAid Stand Mixer, plenty of bakeware, dishware, pots and pans, a crockpot, and more! The shotgun-style home offers great spaces to gather around, but you have the option of closing those original double doors to close off each room. Also downstairs is a study equipped with a desk (with a monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse), seating, and a Intelligent TV! There is also a family room with a gas fireplace, Intelligent TV, a full dry-bar with tons of different drinking glass options, and a mixer set! There is also a full bathroom on the main level and we provide salon-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and extravagant white plush towels!

All three bedrooms are very roomy and are located upstairs. The first of two primary bedrooms has a king-sized bed with striking linens for an spectacular nighttime's sleep (plus sound machines/ alarm clocks in every room!), a comfortable sitting chair, a charming non-working fireplace, and a closet. The 2nd primary bedroom also holds a king-sized bed, a computer desk, a vintage non-working fireplace, and a closet. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds each with a twin-sized trundle and a sizable rustic dresser plus a very enormous closet. There is another full bathroom upstairs with a claw foot tub (handheld shower). The onsite laundry area is off the kitchen, simple to use and we even supply a few laundry pods. We also supply plush 5-star quality white towels, black hand towels for make-up removal, extremely cozy linens, k-cups, coffee filters, creamer, hot cocoa, spices, a few rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, paper towels, trash bags, and the list goes on (we’ve thought of it all!)

Taking you back outside, you can appreciate the great outdoors in the various shaded seating areas with seating for your whole group. The backyard provides ample space, shade, lighting for nighttime relaxation or fun, a fire pit with seating around, and fun outdoor toys, including ring toss, frisbee, and corn hole.

You have fast access to the Trent and Neuse Rivers, Union Point Park (accessible via walking/ bicycle trails), and many other attractions around town. You're also less than an hour's drive to Atlantic Beach where you’re able to rent tons of various equipment for water recreation - jet skis, paddleboards, and boats.

Beaufort, NC vacation rental booking tips:

Get the best rental home value:

  • Summer is high season in the Beaufort, NC area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Property managers frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
  • Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Beaufort, NC area visitor guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Beaufort, NC area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental in New Bern:

  • To start, have your family select trip dates and a budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Entire Home, Located Downtown with easy walk to shopping and dining! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your group.
  • Does your group require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
  • Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

  • Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
  • During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Lock your rental while you are out. Keep your property safe!
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Walk through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
  • Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
