The Thomas McLin House.

A prominent local Coppersmith and merchant constructed this home for his daughter in 1822. While visiting New Bern stay in this historic 2 story federal style Apartment.

During the Great Fire of New Bern in 1922 the roof burnt, however the home was luckily able to be repaired and expanded in the federal style as two townhouse style apartments, as it remains today. The heart pine wood floor outlines the original 1822 floor plan, while the 1922 upstairs addition constructed after the devastating great fire has southern yellow pine wood floor. The original 1822 fireplace mantel remains, and the antique light fixtures make you feel as though you’ve been transported back in time.

You will be located within a short walk to many amentities such as shopping, restrauants, museums, and marinas. We are located 2 blocks from the historic Tryon Palace main gate and a couple more blocks from the NC History Museum. Whether you are touring the historical streets and sites of one of North Carolina’s colonial capitals or appreciating the neighborhood coffee shop, hunting for treasures at one of the many antique stores, taking a day trip to the beach, exploring coastal Carolina, or enjoying the micro-brewery a few blocks away, this is a convenient and great location to call home while you are visiting.

How to find the best Pamlico area vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in New Bern. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Pamlico area area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic Thomas McLin House Downtown, 2 blocks from Tryon Palace has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Pamlico area destination you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
