Casa De Pearl -A Pirate's Cove Retreat OBX

Pros: *Location was very convenient and located near everything. *The full kitchen was very nice when we didn't want to go out into town to eat. *Was very nice to walk around. *Liked having the pool right nearby us for when we wasn't able to make it to the beach due to the riptides. *Loved having the balcony *Condo was a nice size *Liked having the TVs in both the master bedroom and the living room. *Washer and dryer was very convenient Cons: *When we arrived the screen door to the balcony was busted up, and just sitting in the condo next to the couch. While we was able to put it back on, it came off again a couple days before we left. We figured at that point we may as well not bother/mess with it. *The top of the ottoman set near the couch was busted where the top wouldn't properly sit on top. *The shower head worked but had a visible crack/leak around the handle that held it. *The Jacuzzi at the pool was busted the whole time we was there. Husband was very bummed since that was one of the things he was looking forward to with this location. *Went to grab spoons from the drawer first day, and a few were all crusty and gross. *Bottom of the microwave handle was coming off, so had to grab from the top to use it. *Felt like the smart AC had times it didn't really wanna run, and it got very warm in the living room area a few times (ended up having the balcony door open to let the breeze in) Overall we still enjoyed ourselves, but was a smidge disappointed for the price.

I didn’t like that there wasn’t an elevator. A lot of steps to climb with suitcases and coolers

Pool was great - restaurant was close and food good. Condo clean. Down side - no elevator.

Easy access to everything around. Very small. Sleeping for 6 is not accurate.

Everything was perfect. The condo had tons of natural light, which is always a positive! It was decorated tastefully. I greatly enjoyed walking on the docks once the sun sank lower (it was HOT this week)! The host was great! No issues with anything.

We had a great stay in this condo. It was sufficient room for our family of 5. A/C worked great against the heat wave with humidity during our stay. Marina was nice and location was perfect for traveling to popular OBX sites. Access to fitness center and clubhouse with pool was a bonus. Clubhouse had cool activities that you do have to pay extra for during your stay if you choose to participate. Balcony great to sit on and enjoy the view too. Overall, it was clean and had ample kitchen supplies for eating in. Highly suggest washing dishes and kitchen utensils before use as that area does need a deep clean-found food dried on kitchenware and crumbs in the drawers with “clean” silverware. We had a “palmetto bug” visit us and the owner quickly notified the office who had pest control spray. Told by pest control this was normal for the South and have heard this from friends too who live in the Carolina’s but still alarming when it’s not your normal. King bed was very comfortable but pullout had springs jabbing you-good enough for my kids to tolerate but definitely not us adults. Upper bunk had window which would be nice if it had a curtain at night-kids thought a little creepy. Bring chargers for outlet use because there are no USB ports. Two tv’s were nice so kids could watch one while adults could watch the other. Washer and dryer combo perfect to use but definitely bring your own beach/pool towels. Would stay in Pirates Cove again!

The property was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Pirates Cove is a great community and very convenient to many local attractions. If I could make any changes to the condo, it would be a new shower head (maybe would fix the low water pressure in the shower, and a fitted sheet that fit a little tighter. All over a great spot to stay.

I often have difficulty sleeping due to uncomfortable beds. This property is the exception to that rule. very comfortable and very tidy overall.

Property was as described. Perfect for just 2. Will likely return to pirates cove

This place is in a safe neighborhood close to everything (short drive)—food, entertainment, beach, activities and attractions. My kids are 3 & 7 and they had fun at the playground and guest swimming pool. The only downside of renting this condo is it doesn’t have elevators. However, my kids and I don’t mind the stairs. The condo we stayed at needed minor cosmetic repair but it didn’t take anything from our enjoyable experience. Beds were comfortable. Amenities as described in listing. No surprises. We’ll rent again if we come back to this area next year! Loved it!

Had a little bit of a hiccup during check in but the office helped us out! The night before we left we noticed there was still unwashed dishes in the dishwasher from the previous stay and there was a used water bottle on the counter top when we arrived. Housekeeping may need to check these things in the future! The place itself was cozy, well decorated and clean! Pirates cove is beautiful. Lots of docks to walk on and places to fish. Would definately stay here again!

Clean, decorated nicely. Close to the pool and tennis courts! Tons of towels and extra bedding. Extended our stay in Pirates Cove - we had stayed in a larger condo with extended family the week prior and didn’t need all that space for just the four of us. I did miss the elevator in that other building! Couldn’t quite figure out the tv but we also didn’t reach out for help. We kept busy without it! You cant beat the privacy and amenities of Pirates Cove! Book it over a hotel if you are torn!

Our experience was great. Justin was very accommodating.

We loved the condo and Pirate's Cove. It is beautifully decorated (even down to the Rae Dunn coffee cups) and has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay. I am seriously going home and buying the pillows and mattress that are in the master. Our family loves tv in our downtime and they all commented on the amount of choices. Our little guys (4&6) loved the bunk room space and it was nice how we could close them off and still enjoy the rest of the condo after their bedtime. We hope to come back again!
