Great stay

This house was very comfortable. It was well furnished and had just about everything we needed. The neighborhood is great and had wonderful amenities. While the property could use some updating, it made for an easy stay because we weren’t worried about everything being perfect. I’d recommend this house for anyone traveling to the area.

Peaceful getaway

We were very happy w/ the accommodations, location was great, only a few minutes' drive to Nags Head areas. Check in was super easy, did not even have to get out of the car :) The rental fee was reasonable. The house itself was great! There are no pictures of the bathrooms in the listing, but they were fine. Stairs are a little steep inside & out w/ small overlook balcony, definitely watch the little ones! Would definitely stay here again, plenty of room for 2 - 8 people comfortably!

Awesome property!

The location of this home was perfect for us. My grandson enjoyed the park (very close to house) and the fishing from the pier right next to the house. This place is very close to the Aquarium, Elizabeth Gardens & Fort Raleigh. Also very close to other locations and beaches. It's in a gated community so we felt very safe. We're definitely coming back!

Wedding Fun

My husband, my daughter and her husband, and I stayed Friday and Saturday night. She was a bridesmaid in a local wedding and we attended a rehearsal dinner party and the wedding right there in Manteo at the Basnight and Vista Creek respectively. It was a rainy weekend (Ophelia) but it turned out to be beautiful and a fantastic weekend. Great hospitality. We will definitely return someday.

Mixing Business with Tranquility, Relaxation and Beauty

Our stay was planned around a work event in Tyrrell County. I couldn’t be more excited when I came across this listing. Absolutely beautiful view with a gorgeous sunrise. We could not stop taking pictures. It was that beautiful. The home exceeded our expectations. With a glass of wine and not a care in the world, we relaxed on a hammock overlooking the canal. The home was extremely clean and provided all the necessities needed to feel at home. Check in was extremely easy. Melvin and Leslie were amazing. They were just a phone call away if needed. Mimi’s Tiki Hut (walking distance), had the best island cocktails in Dare County! So yummy! The crab cakes at Blue Water Grill and Raw Bar (next door to Mimi’s) were fantastic! Highly recommend. We repeat this event annually and we look forward to coming back and hopefully staying at the Lewis’s home again. :) Thank you again, Melvin and Leslie, for opening your home to us.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
We are a family of seven, our five children, my wife and myself. Our main home is on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Graduate of Virginia Tech. Children have graduated or currently attending University of Tampa, College of Charleston and Clemson University. We have enjoyed Pirates Cove Marina and the Outer Banks for the last 25 years! So much to do from this convenient location. We continue to have great family vacations and to make memories in this home!

Why they chose this property

My wife, my five children and myself have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for over 20 years. We use to stay at the beach until we discovered Pirate's Cove Marina (PC). Once we stayed at PC we were hooked. We never stayed anywhere else for our annual summer vacation. We loved this place so much that in 2012 we purchased this home in Pirate's Cove Marina and still love it as much as the first time we vacationed here! After repeated request to rent our home, we decided to give it a try and here we are. We hope you will enjoy this property as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

55 ft dock space included with this rental. Hammock and swing on shaded deck. Comfortable chairs of third floor deck with awesome views of the Roanoke preservation and Roanoke Sound, parasailing, boats, jockey ridge, etc. House located on a quiet cul de sac. Parking for several vehicles. Reverse open floor plan! Upgraded kitchen for wonderful meals. Dock wrap around Pirates Cove for you walking pleasure! Gated playground, tennis courts, fitness center, basketball courts, and seasonal community pool and hot tub. Walk to the marina from this home and meet your chartered boat and observe the large fishing boats and the catch of the day! Onsite restaurant and tiki bar as well as a ship store. Once you arrive at our home, you do not have to get into your vehicle to have fun.
