About this property

Drake's Cove - Waterfront Oasis

This Waterfront Home is in the gated resort community of Fairfield Harbour. Bring your boat or fish from the backyard. You can Swim, Play Tennis & work out at the Recreation Center or play a round of golf. Take a walk along the 4.5 miles of greenway or watch the family play cornhole in the backyard. Play a board game in the game area or enjoy our 80's Style Arcade Games. Take advantage of the high-speed internet and then watch a Disney movie on the big screen tv.

Welcome To Drake's Cove!

The space
Discover the allure of this charming 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-minute drive from the historic downtown of New Bern and an easy one-hour journey to Atlantic Beach, this residence seamlessly blends convenience with coastal tranquility. Each bedroom, as well as both living rooms, boasts its own Smart TV for your entertainment.
The first floor is a haven of relaxation, featuring a full bathroom with a luxurious 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 mattresses.
Ascend to the second floor and be greeted by a flood of natural light through a wall of windows. Lounge comfortably while enjoying a movie on the 65" 4K Smart 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 breathtaking views. 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 jacuzzi 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. Children are welcome but must be supervised at all times. Embrace the coastal charm and comfort of this inviting home during your stay.

We have one security camera on the exterior front of the house covering the front door and garage and one on the exterior back of the house for the backdoor.

Broad Creek Recreation Center
We can arrange guest passes for 2 adults and children at the Broad Creek Recreation Center. There is a pool, fitness center, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Tennis Courts & Playground. They do provide towels, so no need to bring any from the house. Additional guests can purchase a day pass at the center for a nominal fee.

Pet Agreement

We love 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 furniture, please bring a protective blanket to
help protect the furniture.

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 flooring and door
frames. Please know your dog and do not leave him/her alone in the house, 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 house. I also agree to keep my dog close to me when other people/dogs are around

I understand this is a quiet subdivision and I agree to prevent my dog from barking excessively or causing any other disturbance while staying at the property.

So I rented this property for 4 days for my wife's 60th birthday. We live in this area but our house is too small for all the visitors that came in from out of state. The property is wonderful and the host was very accommodating to questions. Its a lovely home in a safe and clean community.

Convenient

This is the second time we have stayed in this house. The location is perfect for our activities. Check-in and communication with the owner was great. People need to realize that the living area is on the second floor, so if stairs are an issue, you need to think about it. For us, it was great and we would stay there again.

Superb!

My family and I are New Bern natives and this property was nothing short of amazing. We needed to be near downtown and the property was literally 10 minutes away. The photos online are a great representation of what you get, but the views from the balcony are much better in person. We used this property for my mother's 60th birthday getaway and it was a perfect location. The kitchen was fully stocked and the double oven came in handy. I will definitely rent this property again in the future.

Perfect home for a group!

After a bad experience with another rental, Jacquie and her home was a breath of fresh air - literally! We walked into a home that was obviously freshly cleaned. It smelled clean as soon as we walked in. Cleanliness is top of my wishlist so i was immediately happy. The view from the deck is amazing! The yard is great for playng some yard games and there is even cormhole there. Lots of trees surrounding the home and it feels private even though you are in a neighborhood. The driveway is long and plenty big enough for several cars. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need. Every cabinet and drawer is labeled. The grill is big and nice. There are several common areas with tv's, puzzles, games, an arcade & seating. The bedrooms were comfortable and not crowded. The host was very kind and accomodating! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!!

Amazing stay at Drake's Cove. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Lights and drawers were labeled throughout the house making it very easy to know how to operate and where things were. The kitchen was very welll stocked and we were able to cook several meals. The game area was well stocked, cute, and fun! The outdoor spaces had tables and chairs and we were able to watch the sun come up and enjoy the warm fresh air. The community was quiet, great signage, and the staff were welcoming and helfpul. The owner was kind, attentive, and available during our stay. Of note for anyone with ADA needs. There are steps leading into the home and you have to use stairs to access the main living area. The lower level was accomodating with bedrooms and had a bathroom with a higher toilet and a walk in shower with about a 6" step. The upstairs bedroom was accessible, the bathroom toilet was high but unable to use the tub/shower. Will definitely put this house on our list to stay again!

We liked the layout and the good communication from the owner. One thing my family would have liked is to have full access on Hulu-not a huge deal but it would have been a nice thing to have. Also cleaning products for the eating surface. Everything else was great!

Wonderful stay at Drakes Cove

Had a wonderful stay at Drakes Cove. Jacquie was very responsive and helpful in the pre-booking communication and throughout our stay. The house was in pristine condition and in addition to having everything we needed, Jacquie was kind enough to also provide snacks and much needed coffee! We were also grateful everything was labeled - we had a 1 year old with us, and it was super helpful to know what was in each kitchen cabinet, and it was all so organized! It was such a nice perk in addition to a wonderful stay.

Another White Family Reunion and James City Day in the books

We booked this location for a family reunion, and it couldn’t have worked out better. The space was spacious, clean, and very well-equipped for a group – plenty of seating, beds, and shared areas for everyone to gather and enjoy time together. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare big meals, and the outdoor area was a great bonus for relaxing and catching up.The host was communicative, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. The location was also convenient, with easy access to local shops and attractions, which made planning activities simple.Everyone in our group was impressed, and we’d gladly stay here again. Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a comfortable and memorable place to stay!
