Welcome To Drake's Cove!

Welcome to your ideal waterfront hideaway! This cavernous two-story home was designed for relaxation, with the main living areas upstairs so you can appreciate calming vistas of the peaceful cove. It’s just 15 mins. from historic downtown New Bern and about an hour from Atlantic Beach — close enough for day trips, yet tucked away for a true getaway.
Every bedroom and both living rooms feature Intelligent TVs, so everybody can relax with their favorite shows.

Downstairs:
Kick back in the family room, complete with a classic arcade game loaded with over 5,000 titles. French doors open to landing and steps which lead down to the patio where you can relax outdoors. You’ll also find a full bathroom with a extravagant 6-foot soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower. Three bedrooms are on this level — one with a king bed, one with a queen, and one with a bunk bed (full on bottom, twin on top).

Upstairs:
Natural light fills the open living space through a wall of windows overlooking the water. Settle in for movie nighttime on the 65” 4K Intelligent TV or prepare up something delicious in the entirely supplied kitchen with a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The enormous dining table is ideal for family meals or board games while soaking in those vistas. You’ll also find a coffee station with a Keurig, drip coffee maker, and electric tea kettle, plus a fun game area with puzzles and family favorites. A full bath with a hottub tub and rain shower, along with a roomy bedroom featuring two queen beds, completes the upstairs.

Please note:
This home has direct water access and is not childproof, so while kids are welcome, they must be supervised at all times.
Guests should also be comfortable with stairs — there are steps leading up to the front door as well as an interior staircase to the upper level.
This is a non-smoking home. Smoking is not allowed inside or near the home, including on the deck, as smoke can drift indoors. If you do smoke, please do so away from the home and dispose of cigarette butts safely.

Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer stay, you’ll appreciate the simple mix of comfort, fun, and coastal appeal this home offers.

Pet Agreement

We appreciate 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.
