Harbourside II Condominiums

The Resort and Its Setting

Harbourside II Condominiums is an independent property affiliated with RCI, offering condominium-style accommodation rather than standard hotel rooms. That means more living space, a separate sleeping area, and the kind of layout that suits families or groups staying longer than a typical weekend. The resort sits in New Bern, a city known for its colonial-era architecture and riverfront setting at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent Rivers — a setting that gives owners a genuinely different pace than the busier beach resorts further along the coast.

New Bern and the Surrounding Area

New Bern's historic downtown is compact and walkable, with colonial buildings, independent shops, galleries and waterfront restaurants all within easy reach. Tryon Palace and its restored gardens, along with the North Carolina History Center, give the town a depth of history that's unusual for a coastal destination. The Neuse River itself is right on the doorstep for boating or fishing, and the broader Crystal Coast — with its beaches and maritime museums — is within driving distance, which is why many owners choose to rent a car during their stay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Harbourside II Condominiums and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com is set up for exactly this kind of owner-to-owner resale and rental: you list your week directly, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on a completed sale — sellers only pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Harbourside II Condominiums is an independent resort, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than through a branded developer. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management what the current transfer fee is, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee stands at — these figures vary by resort and aren't something a buyer should have to guess at. A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and the ongoing maintenance fee obligation, but shouldn't assume anything beyond what's explicitly stated in the transfer paperwork, so it's worth asking the management company exactly what is and isn't included before closing.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching for a week at Harbourside II Condominiums are generally drawn to the condominium-style space — room for a family or multiple generations to spread out — plus the walkable access to historic downtown New Bern and its restaurants and galleries. Clear information on unit size, view, and the exact week or season being offered helps a listing stand out to someone comparing options.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

As an RCI-affiliated resort, Harbourside II Condominiums owners can use the RCI exchange network to trade their week for stays at other affiliated properties, which is worth highlighting in a listing if you're marketing to a buyer who values flexibility rather than fixed-week use. New Bern sees warm, humid summers and milder spring and autumn weather, so listings timed for shoulder season can appeal to renters looking for smaller crowds. The nearest airport is Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, with Raleigh-Durham International Airport also within driving distance for buyers coming from further afield.
