5 out of 5Unique treasure
April 28, 2013
As fortune would have it we needed to stay in New Bern and because is the Shriner convention the mainstream hotels were full. Thus we found ourselves at the Captains Stay. Immediately upon arrival Capt Paul made us feel right at home. The accommodations far exceeded our expectations. Debs attention to the smallest detail provided the finishing touches that made it clear we had stumbled into a terrific find. After a wonderful nights sleep we were treated to the best breakfast we had had during out entire visit to New Bern. The innovation and nuance that creates the atmosphere at the Captains Stay makes this a destination you must not miss when visiting New Bern.
5 out of 5Perfect weekend getaway!

My husband and I wanted to get away to celebrate our anniversary and New Bern was the perfect spot. I'm so glad we chose The Captain's Stay - Paul and Deb are such nice, interesting people! The rooms are beautiful and we had everything we needed and more. It was so comfortable and peaceful that we didn't want to leave. We're already contemplating our next trip back!

April 06, 2013
We visited The Captain's Stay on a short trip away and were amazed to talk with the innkeepers about all their experiences on boats over the last thirty years. The inn was quaint and I was shocked to know that they had only been open for nine months and had furnished the inn themselves. Their expertise in culinary service was evident by the great breakfast that they serve. Deb even gave me an idea for an appetizer that I had to make for a party and made some for us to try out! Needless to say I have made the apps twice now and people rave about them! The innkeepers are so warm and welcoming!

March 17, 2013
My husband was celebrating his 70th BD and we wanted a special romantic getaway where we could have a nice time but relax also. This was the perfect place. We stayed in the Masters Stateroom with our own private bathroom that is decorated so adorable with books everywhere. Food was delicious cooked by Debbie and she couldnt do enough for you, the omelets were to die for!!! My husband is very shy and him and Paul (the innkeeper) got along so well and they discussed Pauls trips around the world when he was the Captain before he retired. So much to see in the town of New Bern and everything is within walking distance. We ate at Morgans restaurant and they gave us a special table for 2 in a secluded spot. What was suppose to be a 1 night stay ended up 3 days and we will be back, very soon. The Captains Stay has only been opened for about 9 months, but I bet it will be hard to get a reservation again as everyone wants to go back. Prices are reasonable esp. with the big breakfast. Ive been telling everyone, check it out on the internet. We hope to go back again the end of April for a wedding and all though there are several BB to choose from, Theres onlu one place for us The Captains Stay. We drove 7 hrs and 515 miles to get there and it was worth it!

February 24, 2013
Our time at the Captain's Stay was lovely. It was a perfect secluded getaway. The room we stayed in was relaxing and anything we needed was provided. The Inn was a fun historic setting and was a short walk to other historic waterfront places in town. We had a amazing seafood dinner at a cafe called MJ's. I had some of the best seafood I have ever eaten. This restaurant was a recommendation of the innkeepers.

February 15, 2013
My wife and I spent a night at the Captain's Stay last weekend. While it was a short trip, it was a perfect escape. New Bern is an adorable little town and certainly worth seeing. The Captain's Stay was a great base for our little tour. The bed was very comfortable, everything was very clean, cozy and tastefully done. Breakfast was very complete and delicious. The owners were real characters and very welcoming.
5 out of 5Felt right at home
January 13, 2013
The Captain's Stay is a wonderful B&B full of character and warmth. An old, pre-civil war dated home that the proprietors have carefully and beautifully decorated. The room we stayed in was spotless. The huge bathroom, complete with cast iron tub, was a real treat. A comfortable, king-sized bed provided a great night's sleep. The made-to-order breakfast was delicious. My husband and I went for a quick weekend getaway and The Captain's Stay provided everything we needed and then some.
4.8 out of 5Mother-Daughter Holiday Getaway
December 29, 2012
I love staying in B&Bs but most seem to cater to couples. When my daughter and I decided to get away for a few days, I searched the internet for places in New Bern with two beds in a room. I found that the Captain's Stay had two options. We chose to stay in the Crow's Nest - a small, cozy cottage located behind the house. It was just perfect for us with two queen size beds. Paul and Debbie were wonderful hosts. Debbie made us delicious omelets each morning and kept our room well supplied with snacks, toiletries and all the essentials. The Captain's Stay is conveniently located in historic New Bern - an easy walk to Tryon Palace and the wonderful shops downtown. I would definitely stay there again.
