Nice property

It was perfect for what we needed. It’s a nice property and had plenty of room for two couples and two young children. We were there for a celebration in Bridgeton so location was perfect for us, but also very convenient to get into New Bern.

Hidden Gem!

Spacious and well appointed coastal home with amazing water views of the beautiful Neuse River. Just 5 minute drive from the historic downtown New Bern. Very spacious master suite and comfortable beds. The fresh local blueberries were a nice touch and awaited us upon arrival. Wonderful host. Would stay here again and will!

Thankful for sunsets on the river

We spent our Thanksgiving holiday here and really enjoyed the place. The kitchen had everything we would need to prepare the holiday feast. The WiFi was dependable for the work zooms we had. The beds, linens, and towels were all high quality. And of course the location, seeing the sunsets on the river was an added bonus. Megan was a great host.

Perfect Summer Get Away home

This place was absolutely wonderful. The house is just as pictured, extremely clean, and comfortable. It is a short drive to downtown New Bern with great brew pubs and restaurants. The house is in a very peaceful location. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch and adult beverages on the upstairs deck while watching the super moon rise. It is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed. Megan, the owner is kind and gracious. She was very accommodating and helpful with information on the area and local attractions.

Great weekend

Beautiful house. Very clean . Great host . One little tick mark that could improve is the physical address was not clear to understand. We needed to push the map to direct us there . Still would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Priceless Sunsets!

We loved Breathe Inn so much the first time we just returned again for 5 days. This home is well appointed and perfectly located to enjoy all the sites and historic areas of New Bern, NC. We couldn’t get enough of the spectacular sunsets over the Neuse River with the historic New Bern lights glistening in the horizon. The host is so responsive and easy to work with. Bottom line is we loved everything about it! We will return again soon for an even longer stay.

Amazing! Better than the pictures.

We loved our stay here. The pictures do not do this place justice. It was spacious, comfortable, and clean. There was plenty of room for the 3 adults we had. It would have easily fit 6 people. The view was beautiful and the neighborhood was quite and safe. We love the personal touches. The communication between the owner was spit on and she meet all of our needs. Above and beyond amazing. Will be back.

Family gather to celebrate granddaughter graduation

We loved our stay at the BREATHE INN. Such a wonderful neighborhood. People were very friendly and we enjoyed our walk’s throughout the area. Beautiful sunsets and early morning coffee on the deck was lovely. Easy access to getting to New Bern and ocean beaches made this a perfect quiet setting. Thank you Megan for being such a great host.
