The space
Discover the allure of this striking 2-story home with its main living areas strategically placed on the upper floor, offering a captivating view of the serene cove. Just a 15-min. drive from the historic downtown of New Bern and an simple one-hour journey to Atlantic Beach, this residence seamlessly blends convenience with coastal tranquility. Each bedroom, as well as both living rooms, features its own Intelligent TV for your entertainment.
The first floor is a haven of relaxation, featuring a full bathroom with a opulent 6' soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower. Unwind in the family room, equipped with a Classic Arcade Game offering a selection of over 5000 games, and step through French Doors to access the backyard and covered patio. Three bedrooms on this level cater to diverse preferences – a king-sized, a queen-sized, and a bunk bed accommodating both full and twin-sized beds.
Ascend to the second floor and be greeted by a flood of natural light through a wall of windows. Parlor comfortably while appreciating a movie on the 65" 4K Intelligent TV or prepare a family feast in the well-appointed kitchen with a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Gather around the dining room table to relish both your culinary creations and the beautiful vistas. The coffee station, featuring a Keurig, drip coffee maker, and electric tea kettle, ensures your favorite brew is always at hand. There is a dedicated game area that is equipped with family friendly board games and puzzles. A full bathroom with a combination hottub tub and rain shower head adds a touch of luxury, and a generously sized bedroom with two queen beds completes this floor.
This home has direct access to the water, multiple staircases and is not childproof. Kids are welcome but must be supervised at all times. Embrace the coastal appeal and comfort of this inviting home during your stay.
We have one security camera on the exterior front of the home covering the front door and garage and one on the exterior back of the home for the backdoor.
Broad Creek Recreation Center
We can arrange guest passes for 2 adults and kids at the Broad Creek Recreation Center. There is a pool, exercise center, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Tennis Courts & Playground. They do provide towels, so no need to bring any from the home. Additional guests can purchase a day pass at the center for a nominal fee.
Pet Agreement
We adore our dog and are pleased to allow you to bring yours, if he/she is
well behaved. Our preference is not to allow dogs on the furnishings. We recognize this can be a difficult request, so we offer a compromise. If you have a dog that is accustomed to getting on furnishings, please bring a protective blanket to
help protect the furnishings.
A booking with a pet agrees to the following:
I agree that my dog is up to date on all vaccinations and that he/she are on a flea/tick preventive.
I agree to provide my own dog bed and supplies.
I agree to pay a $200 fine if I leave my dog unattended and they cause a disturbance.
I agree to pay for additional cleaning, repair or replacement of any items damaged by my dog. The fear and separation anxiety experienced by many dogs left unattended can result in barking/howling and destruction of floor and door
frames. Please know your dog and do not leave him/her alone in the home, uncrated, if this is a possibility.
I agree to always pick up after my dog.
I agree to keep my dog on a leash always held by me or a responsible individual when outside—and I will remove the leash from my dog only while he/she is at the dog park, or within the confines of the home. I also agree to keep my dog close to me when other people/dogs are around
I understand this is a peaceful subdivision and I agree to prevent my dog from barking excessively or causing any other disturbance while staying at the property.

Tricks and tips to get the best Pamlico area vacation rental experience:
Sticking to a rental budget:
- In the Pamlico area area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
- Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the largest rental home within your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Pamlico area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
- Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
- Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
- Look for your local Pamlico area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.
How to pick the best rental home:
- Begin by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
- Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Drake's Cove - Waterfront Oasis has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
- Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is optimal for your vacation.
- Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
- Is your family looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
More tips for your stay:
- Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
- Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
- Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
- Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
- Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
