Rudder Village 14 - Gorgeous Canal-Front Home in Pirate's Cove

We visit the obx every summer for the past 20 years and this was one of the best summer trips! We will forever have this memory and experience. The home is lovely, spacious and clean. The location is perfection. Nestled in a serene part of pirates cove which is wonderfully located right before you cross over the bridge on the water. You have the best of everything.. not in the thick of the hustle and bustle of the banks and summertime tourists but close enough to be if you want to. Also very close to downtown Manteo, Wanchese, and driving our jeeps out on the beach in Nags Head, it was a dream location for us. Pirates cove has all the wonderful things that you want for family as well, beautiful 3 mile boardwalk with natural wildlife and peaceful serenity as well as a pool, clubhouse, gym, and tennis courts all of which were wonderful. The clubhouse had activities all week as well. We will most definitely be back!!

This house is our new favorite rental property. The house is very well stocked and nicely furnished, and you really feel at home here. One of the features we loved is that each bedroom has its own en-suite. We’ve stayed in many rental properties throughout the years, and in our opinion we haven’t come across anything that has been as nicely furnished and comfortable as this one. We are already planning our next visit! Thanks so much for a perfect stay.

I recently stayed at this beautiful vacation home that offered a truly memorable experience. The house was beautifully decorated, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities one could need for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, providing breathtaking views and easy access to local attractions. The outdoor space was equally impressive, featuring a 2 cozy decks/patio (one screened and one without), and a wonderful front deck area all perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. However, there were a couple of minor issues that detracted from an otherwise perfect stay: dog hair and nearby construction. Despite the home being generally clean and well-maintained, there was noticeable dog hair on some of the furniture and rugs. For guests with allergies or sensitivities, this could be a bit problematic. Additionally, there was new construction going on next door, which occasionally caused some noise every morning at 7...omg. While it didn't completely ruin our stay, it was a bit of an inconvenience when we were trying to relax. Overall, I highly recommend this vacation home for its beauty, comfort, and excellent location. With a little more attention to cleaning up pet hair and being mindful of the construction schedule, it would be absolutely perfect.

Awesome stay at Pirates Cove! Perfect location, central to many fun activities, and the facilities couldn’t have been better. The accommodation were beautiful and we will definitely be returning!

Came down to fish with large client, had amazing accommodations, place was spotless clean, loved it!

Wry nice place to stay!

Everything was excellent except for the invasion of ants in the kitchen

House is beautiful, views at night are spectacular, decorated beautifully...only problem...ants around kitchen sink....other than that I would rent it again! :-)

We had a wonderful stay except the ants in the kitchen tried to overtake us. They remained all over the counter throughout our stay, inside cabinets, on the kitchen walls. We did not keep food out anywhere except the island which seemed to be the only safe zone besides the refrigerator.

Great place! Will be back.
