Premium Resorts Collection @ Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer Ii

The Resort and Its Setting

Premium Resorts Collection @ Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer II is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort in New Bern, North Carolina. New Bern itself is one of the state's oldest towns, built at the confluence of two rivers, and the resort benefits from that waterfront position along with easy access to the historic downtown core. It's the kind of base that suits owners who want a quiet riverside week, with the option to swap for other destinations through RCI when they fancy a change of scenery.

New Bern and the Surrounding Area

Downtown New Bern is walkable and compact, built around colonial-era architecture, so a short trip from the resort puts you right in the middle of the town's history. Tryon Palace, the reconstructed 18th-century governor's residence and museum, anchors the historic district, and the New Bern Riverfront offers paths and park space along the Neuse for an evening stroll. Swiss Bear Brewery is a reliable stop for a local pint, and for travellers flying in or out, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport is only a few minutes away. Those wanting sand and surf can head out to Atlantic Beach on the Crystal Coast, roughly 22 miles away — easily done as a day trip rather than a dedicated stay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your week at Fairfield Harbour/Windjammer II, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as a private resale: you set your own asking price, interested buyers contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live. The same applies if you'd rather rent the week out for a season instead of selling outright; you set the rental terms and deal with renters directly.

Because this is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded developer process. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its HOA what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee is for the unit and week in question, since these figures aren't published and vary by contract. It's also worth asking whether the association holds any right of first refusal on resales, and getting the answer in writing before a deposit changes hands.

A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded week or points interest and its RCI affiliation, meaning they can continue exchanging through RCI once the transfer and any membership update are complete — but they won't inherit loyalty perks, promotional upgrades or back fees tied to the previous owner's account. Ask the resort directly how long a transfer usually takes to process, since timelines differ between independent associations.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters searching for a New Bern week tend to ask about proximity to the historic downtown, river or waterfront access, and whether the unit comfortably sleeps their group. Being upfront about unit size, view, and which week of the calendar you're offering (and whether it falls in spring, summer, or the quieter shoulder months) will help your listing stand out to the right renter.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Whether you're buying, selling or renting, it pays to request the resort's current fee schedule and any HOA documents before finalising anything. RCI affiliation is a genuine asset here, but it's membership-based, so confirm with RCI directly what's required to activate or transfer exchange privileges once a resale closes.
