Premium Resorts Collection @ Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I

The Resort and Its Setting

Premium Resorts Collection @ Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I is an independently run timeshare resort within Fairfield Harbour, a planned waterfront community just outside New Bern, North Carolina. Its RCI affiliation means owners aren't limited to using their week on-site — they can also deposit it into RCI's exchange network and book elsewhere among RCI's member resorts worldwide. That dual option — enjoy your week here or trade it — is really the core appeal of owning at this property.

New Bern and the Coastal Plain

New Bern is the historic seat of Craven County, sitting where the Trent and Neuse Rivers meet. It's one of North Carolina's oldest towns, known for its colonial-era streets, Southern hospitality, and a waterfront that invites slow mornings with coffee rather than crowds. Fairfield Harbour sits a short drive from downtown, so owners and renters get a quiet residential base with easy access to New Bern's sights, restaurants, and river views whenever they want them. This is a destination for people who like history, boating, and a gentler pace rather than theme parks or nightlife.

Things to Do Nearby

Within easy reach of the resort, New Bern's historic district offers colonial-era architecture, independent shops, and museums along the Neuse River waterfront. Tryon Palace, the restored colonial governor's residence and gardens, is one of the area's signature attractions, and the North Carolina History Center rounds out the story with exhibits on regional and Native American history. For time on the water, the Neuse River itself is popular for fishing and boating, and the Fairfield Harbour Marina — just a short distance from the resort — offers local boating access and waterfront dining.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer I and are considering a resale or rental, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise. Renters typically choose a resort like this one for the quieter, residential setting and proximity to New Bern's historic sights and the Neuse River, rather than resort-style amenities, so it's worth being clear in your listing about which week or season you're offering and whether RCI exchange points or deposits are included.

As this is an independent resort rather than a branded chain, resale transfers are generally handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national timeshare operator. Specific transfer fees, any right of first refusal, and the current annual maintenance fee aren't listed among the verified facts for this property, so before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm these details directly with the resort's management: the transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and the current annual fee. A resale buyer should also confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — for instance, whether RCI exchange privileges are automatically included or need to be set up separately once the transfer is complete.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Owners planning to use RCI should register and explore the exchange platform well ahead of their preferred travel dates, since availability at popular exchange resorts can be limited closer to the time. Spring and autumn tend to bring the most comfortable weather for exploring New Bern on foot and spending time on the water. Anyone buying a resale week here should budget time to verify transfer paperwork and current fees with the resort directly, since these details sit outside what any resale marketplace can confirm on a seller's behalf.
