Pirate's Cove is a very nice community. We enjoyed the exercise facility (we used it almost every day) and our son enjoyed the basketball court (one of the main reasons we selected this rental). The unit is very nice, was very clean and offered a good layout. A few negatives: we lost internet for a full day of our 4 day trip (not the owner's fault-portion of island was out but we were told this is common), and after being in the shower 5 minutes each day, the water would turn cold for all of us, 2 single beds were uncomfortable for our young teenagers, one of whom would come sleep on the couch midway through the night as a result (the other two mattresses were of good quality and comfortable though). Alot of noise from the neighbors above, including their two dogs, but thankfully we bought fans that helped drown out the noise in the early mornings, the only time it really bothered us. The dryer took multiple 60 minute cycles to dry a load of clothing. Overall, though, this was a very nice property with great views and nice upgrades--we are very picky and have rented many properties over the years. Community is top-notch-one of nicest we have stayed in. Town of Manteo was nice to visit too.
