What makes a vacation rental worth booking? Usually it’s the details guests remember after they leave.

At this newly remodeled 4-bedroom home in New Bern, NC, designed by Sharon Duncan, we built the stay around how groups actually travel:

→ Space to be together: an oversized living room, board games and a full coffee bar
→ Room to spread out: 4 bedrooms sleeping 8, plus a bonus playroom over the garage
→ Comfort that shows up in reviews: a master soaking tub, quality linens and 1GB fiber WiFi with smart TVs in every room
→ A location that works: 5 minutes to the airport, 9 to downtown, 20 to Cherry Point

The result is a home guests describe as “airy and spacious and cozy at the same time.”

Thoughtful design and hospitality turn a house into a stay people book again. If you own a home in Eastern North Carolina and want it to perform like this, let’s connect.

A $10,000 refresh. A 38% increase in revenue.

Sometimes the most profitable investment in a short term rental isn't adding another bedroom or completing a major renovation.

It's improving the guest experience.

At NC Stays, we've seen the impact firsthand:

• An Atlantic Beach property generated 38% more revenue following a $10K refresh.

• A Pinehurst property saw 47% year over year revenue growth after upgrades that included a putting green.

These results highlight something important for vacation rental owners: the right improvements can make a bigger difference than the most expensive ones.

Guests want memorable experiences, thoughtful amenities, and properties that live up to their expectations.

We put together four takeaways from what we've learned managing short term rentals.

For other hosts and property owners, what's been your highest ROI property upgrade?

Meet the Team: Dylan Harris, Head of Business Development ❕

Before NC Stays, Dylan spent years in tech sales at companies like Cisco, where he learned to listen, build trust and deliver for clients. In 2024, he and his wife Tori bought their first luxury Airbnb. Today it’s the #2 highest-revenue vacation rental in all of Pinehurst.

He’s an owner too, so he knows what’s at stake, and he loves helping other owners bring their property and financial goals to life.

Fun fact: Dylan is a former college golfer who met Mike when they were roommates in college. That friendship turned into a partnership. ⛳

Thinking about renting out your home in Pinehurst or beyond? Dylan’s your guy. Link in bio.

You could drive past this Pinehurst home a hundred times and never guess what's inside. 👀

Built in 1919, Thistle Dhu has one of the coolest stories in North Carolina. Its backyard was home to America's first 18-hole miniature golf course!

Today, the 10,450 sq ft estate sleeps 14 and has a few surprises of its own.

We're talking a hidden speakeasy, private movie theater, pool table, beautiful gardens, and even a confession room.

With 7 bedrooms, plenty of space to gather, and the Village of Pinehurst just a short walk away, it's an incredible setting for golf trips, family reunions, and wedding weekends.

Would you explore the speakeasy or movie theater first? 🍸🎬

Tori is the creative designer behind The Laddie Shack. It's the #3 vacation rental in Pinehurst and has already earned $200K+ in 2026. Dylan and Tori live in Wrightsville Beach and know our beach markets as well as anyone, and they'll bring that same magic to our homes.
Together, we're bringing the NC Stays mission to more families: experiences and memories that last a lifetime. Welcome to the team! 🏡⛳🌊

Meet the Team: Sierra Reilly, Broker in Charge & Head of Design 🏡

If you've stayed at an NC Stays property, you've probably seen Sierra's work without even knowing it.

Sierra oversees the brokerage side of NC Stays and has a hand in designing the homes our guests enjoy. She's all about creating spaces that people actually want to spend time in, whether that's around the dinner table, out by the fire pit, or just enjoying a slow morning.

Outside of work, Sierra is a marathon runner, loves traveling, and stays busy raising three kids with Mike. ❤️

What if one of New Bern’s most historic landmarks was right outside your front door? 👀

Tryon’s Corner sits right across from Tryon Palace, just a short walk from downtown New Bern’s shops, restaurants, and waterfront.

This 3-bedroom home sleeps 8 and has all the extras, including a coffee bar, workout space, and private patio with a grill.

And that front porch might just be our favorite spot. 🌿

A lot of Airbnb owners focus on the wrong stuff.
More bedrooms won’t save a boring listing. Good photos, good design and amenities people actually want will.
And once they book, the small details are what get you the 5 star review.
