WHY CHOOSE A CONDO OVER A HOTEL

Since Reel Escape is a smaller condo, we often get inquiries from guests who are choosing between us and a hotel room. There are many advantages to choosing an independent vacation rental over a hotel. We have listed some of them below for your reference:

-Our full kitchen enables you to cook meals when you would otherwise have to dine out. The average traveler spends approximately $45/day dining out, which can add up to significant savings for a week long stay!
-Reel Escape is larger than a typical hotel room and has more privacy. With a separate living room, porch, bedroom, and kitchen - there is plenty of room to spread out during your stay.
-We have a washer and dryer inside our unit and even provide laundry detergent for your convenience! (Anyone else hate using the same dirty beach towel for an entire week )
-Hotels typically have basic cable and charge big fees for any additional entertainment. At Reel Escape, we have an extended cable package as well as a Smart TV with a complimentary Netflix subscription.
-Amenities! No hotel in the Outer Banks offers the type of amenities that Pirates Cove Resort does. By choosing Reel Escape, you enjoy access to a pool, hot tub, baby pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, bocce courts, a huge fitness center, picnic area, walking trails, an onsite restaurant and tiki bar, convenience store, marina, AND MORE!
-Last but certainly not least --- We truly want our guests to have an awesome stay. This is our home away from home, and we try to do everything we can to make your time here perfect.

    The condo was perfect! Decorated so cute. TVs in the living room and bedroom. The kitchen had anything you needed along with a guest book listing local restaurants and sight seeing. The little deck overlooked a small pond with ducks swimming around. The perfect spot to read and enjoy a cocktail or coffee. The bed was so comfortable I wanted to take it home. Great shower and water pressure. In walking distance to the subdivision restaurant. I enjoyed the amazing boardwalk around the marsh. A 4 mile total around or you can cut it short and hop off anytime. Close drive to the beach. I was attending a wedding and the reception was in Pirates Cove in walking distance from the condo. I will definitely rent this again!

    This is a lovely, nicely furnished, well maintained, clean condo with adequate amenities which even includes several hooks in bathroom, and on bedroom door, and a clothesline on the lovely deck—-not always available in other rentals.The bed is very comfortable, bathroom very clean. Michael is very attentive, responds quickly to any questions. He has a helpful binder with great info on the area including favorite places to dine, shop, sightsee and rules.Beautiful areas to walk around the docks and to walk or ride bikes around the neighborhoods.Parking spaces could be more plentiful, and that’s the only issue we had, but it all worked out. We would definitely stay here again.We highly recommend this beautiful condo!The Wilsons

    The condo was beautiful, clean and well stocked. The host was a fantastic communicator and so easy to get ahold of. Pirates Cove is a great community! We used the fitness center, the pool, and ate in the restaurant. The fitness center had all the equipment we needed. Our daughter literally played in the pool for the entire day. The restaurant was packed but we got a table within an hour and the food was great. All around the perfect way to kick off our week in the outer banks!
