Captain's Quarters: Soundfront | Private Boat Slip

Captain’s Quarters overlooks the Roanoke Sound with a spectacular sunrise view of the Washington Baum Bridge and south Nags Head. This luxurious condo, nestled in the world-class gated marina resort of Pirate’s Cove (the “Venice of the Outer Banks” as the owners like to call it), has it all.

Wake up to ever-changing, panoramic sunrise views of the sound. Watch the day unfold as boats, and even dolphins, glide right past your deck. Also, discover some of the best sunset viewing spots on the sound - just steps from the front door. The resort fee is included with your reservation and provides access to an exciting array of resort amenities such as: pool, hot tub, fitness building, playground, and (of course) the Pirates Cove Marina and Blue Water Grill.

Captain’s Quarters is owned by the family of a retired USCG Captain who served at Oregon Inlet and Cape Hatteras, and the unit is maintained to the high standard deserving of this special place. The condo is remodeled with all the upgrades – with an elevator less than 10 steps from the front door that makes unloading a breeze. Short (3-day min.) and longer stays welcome.

A primary bedroom overlooks the sound with a queen bed, ensuite bath, private porch access, desk, and a 43” TV (check the closet for sports equipment!). The second bedroom has a Queen bed, 43” TV, and direct access to the second bath. The family room features a sleeper sofa, 50” TV, and a book & game collection.

A 5-minute drive provides easy access to both the beach and downtown Manteo. Enjoy Nags Head’s Jennette’s Pier with its 1,000-foot fishing pier, wide sandy beach, ample parking, and new public bath house. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore (don’t miss the lighthouse!), Pea Island, Coquina Beach, and Oregon Inlet are just a few nearby beachy destinations.

Downtown Manteo provides many shopping & dining options in a charming waterfront setting.
