Sunflower Smile is a private lot in a wooded area with a big beautiful field in front of it. It is conveniently located 4 miles from the Havelock Walmart and the Cherry Point back gate. It is about 30-40 minutes from Emerald Isle or Atlantic Beach. The aquarium is fun to visit, historic downtown New Bern, Tryon Palace, and the beautiful riverfront. Please send us a message about your sweet fur baby - breed and picture. We do work with military and workers in the area needing a longer stay. 🌻

Problems Resolved

I had a few problems but the host and VRBO resolved them satisfactorily. If you're visiting someone stationed at Cherry Point this is an exceptionally good location.

Not so much

I knew it was an older house and didn't mind the wear and tear. However it was not clean. The owner said she had it "professionally" cleaned but she should get her money back. The owner was pleasant enough but our expectations of clean obviously isn't the same.

Making the Best of technology

Our stay started off with a technology glitch, but the owner was honest and willing to overcome the issues. While the stay had a few hiccups, I would rent from this owner all of the time if I could.

Cozy and quiet

The house has a well stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms as well as plenty of lounging space in the living room. It was very quiet and easy to get to the beach, New Bern, and Havelock. There was a small issue with the cleaning but Wendy took care of it quickly and made sure we had everything we needed. The outside play area was awesome and we took advantage of the huge yard while we were there. Overall it was a great house to stay in!

Sunflower experience

The house is nice, but could use some upgrading. Lacking a few features such as table lamps,,,there was only one in the house, none in bedrooms. Had a nice size yard and play area for children.

Great location for visiting Marines on the base

Was just what I was looking for close to base and easy to access the highway. Only recommendation I would have for property owner would be a coffee pot and a toaster.
