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.

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.

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.

Great gathering location for family wedding. Enjoyed the golf cart parade for the 4th of July. Caught the fireworks show in New Bern. The community recreation center was fun - miniature golf, fitness room, pool, hot tub. We even got to listen to some live music while enjoying some food from the food trucks. Great restaurants in New Bern, and the pizza at Sara’s on Broad Creek Road was good too. Very enjoyable stay.

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!!

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.

We had a WONDERFUL time on vacation! Fairfield Harbor is a great community that offers something for every age group. My kids range in age from almost 17-4, and they all had a great time! Fairfield Harbor has a golf course, 2 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, mini golf, pickle ball, basketball, 2 playgrounds and much more! The house was as pictured, was very clean, and Jacqueline was very prompt to respond to my questions. We definitely would return!

While the property is gorgeous, clean and located in a quiet and friendly community - it's the attention to every little detail that made our stay exceptional! Delightful signs with instructions for anything that could possibly come up during our stay and wifi password. Swift and friendly communication with the host. Beautiful view of the dock and large living spaces and decks. From excellent water pressure in the showers to a kitchen fully stocked with everything (but the food) to enjoy a meal with family and friends, this place was better than staying in a hotel! We're already planning our next stay.

The home was roomy and clean. All the little details were considered including provided games and toiletries. Back yard leads to private dock for your boat. Everyone loved the house and enjoyed their stay. We even got to access the clubhouse, and some enjoyed the indoor heated pool on a chilly day and mini golf. The host was very polite and ensured all are requests were fulfilled. We definitely would stay again.

From our first look at the pictures of this house to the final contact with Jacquie, my friends and I were very impressed! The house was exactly as described and seen in pictures. Jacquie is the quintessential hostess - every light switch, cupboard and drawer was labeled for our ease in finding things. There was a basketful of snacks left for us to enjoy. There were night lights in almost every room and each closet was fully stocked with hangars. It may sound trivial but these were the attentions to detail that put the icing on the cake for us. Thank you so much Jacquie! We hope to return again!!

House was spacious, clean, kitchen was well organized with labels on cabinets and drawers and right on a canal. Loved having our morning coffee sitting out back enjoying the water. Days were spent golfing, taking advantage of the community pool and day trips to Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle. At night we took advantage of the great restaurants in downtown New Bern. House has a great location and we will be back!!

This was a very clean and comfortable property with plenty of room to spread out. What a joy to sit out on the back deck for a morning sip of coffee or an afternoon of relaxation. We were happy with the location because of a great golf course right across the entrance. But a comfortable distance from the heart of New Bern. Jacqueline was easy to communicate with and responded to any questions we had immediately. We would definitely plan to stay here again.

Slice of Paradise
We went to New Bern to celebrate a family birthday. Drake's Cove was the perfect house for us! The back yard provided a beautiful view while enjoying happy hours and corn hole. It has plenty of seating for great gatherings outside. The large deck was perfect for easy access and great views :=)
The house is nicely equipped with spacious bedrooms (we had 6) and a great family room / eating area. The huge table was perfect for game playing. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need to include a great variety of snacks.
The location was great to get to New Bern and other area attractions.
Jacquie was a fantastic host to work with, she replied very quickly to any questions I had prior to arrival.
I would highly recommend Drake's Cove and Jacquie, it was the perfect accomodation for us.

Awesome host and property
This home was perfect for our needs. It was super clean, spacious and well stocked. The only issue we had was that the corner where the house is located is a bit dark and since we arrived in the late evening, it was hard to see the house. Once, we knew what we were looking for, we had no subsequent issues. Jacquline is a great host, very accommodating, and excellent communication skills. I would highly recommend her home!

Fantastic Property
Jacquie, my wife and I would like to thank you so much for allowing us to rent your house. It was just perfect for our children's families who were visiting us for a family reunion at Thanksgiving.
Everything they needed was there, and the house was spotless. The location could not have been more convenient. Our grandchilren really enjoyed the large yard.
The house is beautiful inside with a great view of the boats and surrounding area. The kitchen is large, well equiped, and totally organized with identification of what is in the drawers and cabinets making it super easy to find everything. The common living areas are large and very comfortable. It is kind of like living in an upscale resort area at a very resonable price.
Jacquie was very resonsive both during the booking process as well as duing the rental period answering all our questions and making the check-in and check- out process super easy.
We would rent the Pelican house again in a heartbeat.
Thanks again, Tom and Laure

If there had been a way to rate this home and our stay with 10 stars we would have done so. Everything was exceptional and most importantly, Jacquie, our host, was readily accessible and responded to our questions immediately. The four of us had a wonderful time and highly recommend this home.

Drakes Cove was absolutely perfect for our stay in New Bern for our sons wedding. Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of room for everyone, and the kids really enjoyed the games. The house was very clean, plenty of towels, and everything was labeled. That was a huge help. I highly recommend Drakes Cove for anyone looking for a home to accommodate a large group. Oh and they recycle which I really appreciated! Five stars!
