Casa De Pearl -A Pirate's Cove Retreat OBX

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.

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.
