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.

However, there’s so much to experience without even leaving the resort!

- Bring your boat (designated 25’ boat slip included), kayak, or jet ski
- Walk to the sound-front community beach
- Fish and crab from the docks
- Book a fishing charter, a sunset cruise, dolphin cruise, or a Tiki-themed platoon boat cruise around the island from the on-site marina
- Join in on the fun of watching Gulf Stream fishing charters unload their daily catches.
- Stroll miles of boardwalk along the canals and enjoy the wildlife.
- Relax at the community pool complex with its sparkling pool, baby pool, hot tub, snack bar, and clubhouse with pool table and game room.
- Enjoy a game of pickleball, tennis, basketball or sand volleyball.
- Let the day slip away as you watch the boats sail by right from your deck and from along the many canals that wind through the resort.
- Walk to the marina restaurant (one of the best on the beach!)
- Enjoy live music and a drink at Mimi’s Tiki Hut bar
- Keep up your workout routine in the fitness building, just steps away.
- Enjoy a book, a cup of coffee, or a happy hour drink on the covered front and back porches.

Located in Building 9, Captain’s Quarters is a short walk to resort amenities including:

- Community Pool & Hot Tub (open seasonally)
- 4+ Miles of Lighted Boardwalk
- Community Sound-Front Beach
- Fitness Building
- Sand Volleyball Court
- Lighted Tennis / Pickleball Courts
- Basketball Court
- Fenced-in Playground
- Adult and Children's Resort Activities (seasonal – visit clubhouse for calendar)
- Picnic Pavilion with Grills
- Firepit
- Ships Store (snacks, drinks, provisions & gifts)
- Blue Water Grill (year-round marina restaurant)
- Mimi’s Tiki Hut (seasonal outdoor bar)

In addition to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, this angler’s paradise is just minutes from many local attractions including downtown Manteo (one of the oldest towns in NC and home of the world’s best coffee shop – Charis!), the Lost Colony Tavern (brewery restaurant), the NC Roanoke Aquarium, The Vineyards on The Scuppernong, the Elizabethan Gardens, outlet shopping, Kitty Hawk Kites and Jockey’s Ridge State Park, watersports, and many excellent restaurants. Several great golf courses are also nearby.

The home was very inviting and cozy.We enjoyed the view of the sound and the bridge to Nags Head. Everything was as it should be for the first time. We plan to stay at the Captains Quarters again in the future.

Very nice property. Clean, nice view, comfortable. The only issue I had was not receiving check in codes. I had to call when I arrived even though it was after 4:00.

Great Condo, but Communication Needs WorkWe had a great stay at this condo—it was clean, well-maintained, and in a fantastic location. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, which was a huge plus. The unit was comfortable overall, but a few extra amenities would have made it even better: more towels, sheets and blankets for the sleeper sofa, and a thicker blanket for the main bed in case anyone gets cold with the AC on.Unfortunately, communication with the property manager/realtor was disappointing. We tried reaching out multiple times—both by phone and through VRBO—months in advance to ask questions and see about extending our trip, but never got a response. We also wanted to bring our boat but couldn’t get the information we needed, so we had to leave it behind. That lack of communication was frustrating and definitely impacted our experience.Overall, the condo itself is great, but better responsiveness from the management would really improve the rental experience.
