Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I

The Resort and Its Setting

Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I is an independent timeshare resort rather than a branded chain property, located in the Fairfield Harbour community of New Bern, North Carolina. Its RCI affiliation means owners aren't limited to using their week on-site; it can also be banked and exchanged for stays at other participating RCI resorts. New Bern sits where the Trent and Neuse Rivers meet, giving the Fairfield Harbour area a waterside setting that's typical of this stretch of eastern North Carolina.

New Bern and the Historic East

New Bern is North Carolina's second-oldest town, settled by Swiss and German colonists in 1710, and its downtown still shows that heritage in brick storefronts, church spires and tree-lined streets running down to the river. Tryon Palace, the reconstructed home of North Carolina's colonial governors, is the city's main draw, with formal gardens and costumed interpreters bringing the 18th century to life. The historic downtown district, a short drive from the resort, mixes galleries, antique shops and waterfront restaurants, while the Riverfront Convention Center hosts festivals and markets throughout the year. For beach days, the Atlantic coast around Beaufort and Shackleford Banks is within comfortable driving distance, making New Bern a reasonable inland base for a coastal Carolina trip.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I and no longer use it, you can list it for private resale or rental on BidMyTimeshare.com. As this is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the property's own owners' association or management company rather than a national brand transfer desk — so before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth checking directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee amounts to. These details vary by contract and aren't published figures we can quote here, but any serious buyer will expect you to have them to hand.

On our marketplace, you set your own asking price as the seller, and there's no commission taken from your sale — we charge a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers. Interested buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and the final decision. Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, it's worth being clear in your listing whether any RCI membership or deposited exchange credits are included in the sale, since these generally don't transfer automatically with a resale and may need to be set up separately by the buyer with RCI.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching New Bern and Fairfield Harbour listings are typically after a quiet, self-catering base for exploring Tryon Palace and the historic downtown, or a stopover en route to the coastal beaches further east. Being specific about unit size, view, and the week or season on offer helps your listing stand out to this kind of traveller.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Spring and autumn tend to bring the most comfortable weather for exploring New Bern on foot, with milder temperatures than the humid Carolina summer. Anyone buying a resale week should ask the seller for written confirmation of the current annual fee and any outstanding transfer costs before completing a purchase, and should contact RCI separately to understand how their own membership and exchange options would work with this property.
