enter. Call the Parkers at 252- 637-4966. Here are directions:  From New Bern 
take NC 55 east toward Bayboro. At aprox. 1 mile turn right onto Broad Creek

then proceed to a right on Caracara. Left on Pelican. Pass the golf  
clubhouse and on to a left on Gondolier. Right on Black Swan. left on Port
