Captain's Quarters w/ Boat Slip

JohnRating, 5 stars4 months ago

The Captains Quarters was a great stay for my family and I. The boat ramp, which is literally right out the front door, being available was a huge plus as we brought our boat. The outside space was wonderful and the inside space was the perfect size for 3 kids and 2 adults. The inside space was very cozy and has a great view of Blounts Creek. This is a perfect stay for the fishermen and hunters as well as family's looking to stay in a relaxed environment and spend some time outdoors. Judy was very communicative and helpful with any questions we had. Will definitely be staying many times again in the future.

The exterior of the home features a two-story structure with a large staircase leading to a covered wooden deck. The deck is flanked by sliding glass doors, inviting natural light into the living spaces below.

We had a wonderful stay! Papa's Hideaway was perfect for my husband and I with our two boys. The accommodations were beautiful, clean and comfortable. Having access to the creek just outside the cottage was a huge bonus - the boys entertained themselves for hours and we were able to relax on the porch while keeping an eye on them. Definitely recommend and we will be back!

Drake's Cove -Waterfront Oasis

AmyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

This home was one of our best stays ever. The house was beautiful and very well appointed! I appreciated the labels on the kitchen cabinets as it made everything easy to find. And the labels on the light switches helped as well! We cooked in and found everything we needed in the kitchen plus we enjoyed being able to grill. And the snack basket was a nice touch! The house was immaculate and very well cared for. We enjoyed hangout there when we weren’t out exploring. It was an easy drive to downtown New Bern. And the property and neighborhood were great for our dog. Jacqueline was friendly and proactive and we could not have asked for a better host. We would highly recommend this home and would definitely return. All around great stay!
