Misleading Listing, Broken Amenities, and Unacceptable CleanlinessThis was one of the most disappointing rentals I’ve ever stayed in and should not be advertised in its current condition.The home was dirty and unsanitary upon arrival. There were dirty pots and pans in the cabinets, visible grime throughout the house, mold in the upstairs shower, and bugs and spiders in the downstairs bathroom. The overall condition made us feel uncomfortable and gross staying there, which is completely unacceptable for a paid rental.The listing heavily advertises games and entertainment, but nearly all amenities were broken or unusable, making the listing misleading:Pool sticks were broken and missing cue tipsThe Pac-Man joystick would not move downward, making the game unplayableThe air hockey strikers were broken and falling apartThe air hockey table itself was damaged, causing the puck to repeatedly get stuck in broken ends of the tableThese are not minor issues — the amenities simply do not work.There were also multiple signs of neglect and disrepair throughout the home, including holes in the walls, tape stuck along the front door frame, and a broken locking chain on the downstairs bathroom door that leads to the backyard, which raised safety concerns.Overall, this property feels poorly maintained, inaccurately advertised, and not properly cleaned between guests. We were counting down the time until we could leave. I would strongly caution future guests and do not recommend it!

We absolutely loved this house. It was spacious enough for my crew of 12. My kids and grandkids loved the games in the game room. I loved the fact that the downstairs bathroom lead out to the pool area which was an oasis in itself. We enjoyed every night out by the pool watching the kids play!

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay and would stay here again. I was sent the wrong door code for arrival and had to call and get assistance, but that was easily resolved. I was disappointed with the refrigerator, all of the condiment shelves on the door were missing, and the shelf above the produce door was broken so this took a lot of space away to store food for 8 people for a week. The downstairs bedroom fan/light didnt work. The kitchen trashcan lid was broke, so everytime you tried to open it, it would fall off. There were no bikes or outside tv as mentioned in the original posting when i booked this reservation. The upstairs shower had tape that had been painted over. The time i did reach out to the host, they responded quickly. I did not reach out for everything, as it didnt affect my stay. I did like that there was a baby gate available, it helped corral the dogs downstairs. There were plenty of towels for everyone. The location was nice, quiet and close to the beach. The kitchen has plenty of cookware and dishes for every day dining. The palm trees in the back were pretty but could be trimmed back as we had to bend down in some spots. Its nice you can access the bathroom from the pool area without going through the house. The pool was nice. I would recommend this place to others and i would stay here again.

Our syay was very enjoyable however I should have been more observant about the seating. We had 9 people and only 6 bar stool style seats. Two of our group could not sit on these seats. We liked the room arrangements, 2 baths, outside patio with stainless steel propane grill. The pool was especially nice.

We decided a year ago to take a trip to PCB for our sons graduation gift, with some of his friends, and another couple. We spotted Pirates Cove and thought it would be perfect, with the outdoor space, the game room, pool, quick walk to the beach, and Pier Park, it was the perfect fit for all of us. Close by is Muy Waynos, Best mexican food around! HUGE thank you to Ms. Berkeley for everything! She was wonderful to work with, always available to answer questions, polite, and very professional. I highly recommend Pirates Cove, and working with Berkeley at PCG getaways

Nice house, clean, but needs some repairs.
We had a nice stay, over all the house was very clean and what we had expected. We were able to check in early, which was wonderful! It was advertised to have a grill, fire pit, heated pool, however you have to pay extra for all that, we did find out before arriving so thankfully knew that ahead of time. Since we paid to have the pool heated it was warm and so fun, the grandkids loved it! The pool was a mess after the storm so we didn’t swim on our last day. There were so many cats running around we did notice a urine smell outside that seemed to penetrate into the house, I’m not sure if it was coming from the AC unit, the garage or from just outside the back doors. The upstairs bedrooms were nice and beds were comfortable unlike the small bed in the downstairs bedroom. The house does need some work starting with a new front door which wasn’t very secure, toilet in downstairs bathroom was pretty loose, dishwasher didn’t always work, refrigerator needs updated and one of the ceiling fans in the game room didn’t work. A clothes line out by the pool for towels would be a nice idea, but the pool had plenty of chairs around it to hang towels on. The host was easy to get ahold of and very responsive with questions.

We had a group of 10 adults for spring break and we had an incredible time. The owners were great at communicating and we really appreciated all of the amenities.

The overall check in, stay, & check out process was amazing. You can tell the house is an older home and needs a few updates / TLC but everything gets old with time. Other than that my family and I enjoyed it. The Communication was superb. The pool guy was very professional and his work was excellent. Despite the few little imperfections our stay was grand. My family & I will most definitely book this home again.

Paradise by the beach.
My family I have been to PCB before but staying here definitely made a difference. It sometimes felt like there was no reason to leave the house because it had something for everybody. When we did leave the house we were close to everything but yet far away from all the tourist craziness. The hosts were great. They always answered any concern promptly. I would definitely come back again.
