Premium Resorts Collection @ Fairfield Harbour Fairway Villas

The Resort and Its Setting

Fairfield Harbour Fairway Villas is an independent timeshare resort operating under the Premium Resorts Collection name, affiliated with RCI. It's built into the wider Fairfield Harbour community in New Bern — a long-established residential neighbourhood rather than a standalone resort strip, which gives the property a quieter, more settled feel compared with purpose-built beach resorts. Owners hold a week here and can use it directly or, thanks to the RCI affiliation, trade it through RCI's exchange network for stays at other affiliated resorts.

New Bern and What's Around It

New Bern is the county seat of Craven County, set where the Neuse and Trent Rivers meet, and it's one of North Carolina's oldest towns, with genuine colonial-era history to show for it. The historic downtown and waterfront are a short drive from the resort, and the area combines river access with Southern small-town charm — good for owners who want a base for exploring eastern North Carolina rather than a single-beach holiday. Tryon Palace, the reconstructed colonial governor's residence and gardens, is one of the region's standout sights, and the compact downtown is easy to explore on foot once you've parked.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Fairfield Harbour Fairway Villas and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to put the week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded chain, resale here is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort or association directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, as these aren't published figures we can quote here — they change from year to year, and the resort will have the up-to-date numbers. Also ask whether the week carries any RCI deposit history or banked points, since that affects what the buyer actually receives alongside the deed or contract.

Renters looking at this resort tend to ask about the Fairfield Harbour setting, proximity to New Bern's historic downtown, and whether the unit suits a longer stay for exploring the river and colonial sights rather than a one-beach week — useful points to mention clearly in your listing.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Anyone buying a resale week should get written confirmation of the current annual fee, any outstanding special assessments, and the resort's transfer process before completing. Transfer timelines vary by association, so factor that into your planning if you're buying with a specific trip in mind. If you intend to use RCI exchange, check with the resort or RCI directly on how the week deposits and what exchange fees apply, since these sit outside the resale transaction itself.

Getting the Most from a Visit

A car is genuinely useful here — New Bern's downtown, the riverfront, and the historic sites are all a short drive apart but not realistically walkable from Fairfield Harbour. Spring and autumn bring milder, more comfortable weather for exploring the town and river on foot, and these seasons also tend to be when New Bern's local festivals run.
