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 the sun rising over the sound and watch the day unfold as boats, and even frequent dolphin pods, glide right past the building. Discover some of the best sunset viewing spots on the sound - just steps from the front door. The resort fee is covered with your reservation at no extra cost and provides free access to an exciting array of resort amenities rarely found in OBX’s beach communities.
Captain’s Quarters is owned by the family of a retired USCG Captain who served at Oregon Inlet and Cape Hatteras early in his career and is maintained to the high standard deserving of this special place. The unit 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.
The condo features a primary bedroom overlooking the sound with a queen bed, ensuite bath, private porch access, a full-size 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 and game collection.
A 5-minute drive takes you to two free public beach accesses - including Nags Head’s Jennette’s Pier with its 1,000-foot fishing pier, wide sandy beaches, 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.
Bring your boat (designated 25’ boat slip included - can accommodate boats up to 21' long), kayak, or jet ski; fish and crab from the docks; book a fishing charter or sunset cruise from the on-site marina; and 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. 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 and open year-round) or catch live music and a drink at Mimi’s Tiki Bar – or simply enjoy a book, a cup of coffee, or a happy hour drink on the covered front and back porches. There’s so much to do without even leaving the resort!
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 - Fitness Building - Sand Volleyball Court - Lighted Tennis / Pickleball Courts - Basketball Court - Fenced-in Playground - Resort Activities (seasonal – visit clubhouse for calendar) - Picnic Pavilion with Grills - Firepit - Ships Store (snacks, drinks, provisions & gifts) - BlueWater Grill (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 charming downtown Manteo (one of the oldest towns in North Carolina 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.

"As I'm writing this, I'm taking in the beautiful view from the screened-in porch, my morning tea spot, I am beginning to miss it already! What a lovely condo and location! There are so many things to do in each direction, Manteo, Roanoke Island, shopping, Nags Head beaches and restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "

"Your condo is beautiful and a perfect location. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck every morning and evening. The weather was perfect all week. We easily drove to many places to enjoy - Ocracoke, Manteo, Corolla, Duck, Kittyhawk, Kill Devil Hills. And so many delicious restaurants in all these areas. I forgot to mention Nags Head too. Thank you for the use of your condo."

"Thank you for opening your condo up to visitors of the OBX - 3rd year coming here to the Outer Banks. We love it. I found it to be the best way to relax. It’s beautiful here - scenic and a perfect balance of everything one needs to restore, recharge and get perspective on life. Sun, sea, sand and wind."

"The girls and I had a blast! Thank you for the opportunity to share your beautiful place in the OBX! Watching the dolphins most days was amazing and so tranquil! It's a perfect location and the amenities are ideal when the ocean and weather are not cooperating. Captain's Quarters is a little piece of Heaven! "

"Just spent a few days at Captains Quarters…this was our second time staying there, and we love it! The condo is clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. The decor is beautiful and the views of the sound from the balcony are relaxing. The location is perfect for us and we can’t wait to go back next summer!"

"From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we were in a special place! The decor is upscale beach and every detail has been thought of. Then we saw the view! We could have spent our whole stay on the porch! Make sure to catch spectacular sunrises over the sound! As inn owners ourselves, housekeeping is one of the first things we consider when rating a stay. This place felt and was very clean! It has easy access with only one flight of steps and an elevator if you need it. It is a very quiet neighborhood. The on-site restaurant is one of the best we've been to in OBX. Portions are huge! We will be back! We'd love to make this our home away from home"

"Long time visitors to OBX. Second time staying in Pirate's Cove. Best condo ever. Perfect for my husband and myself. Love everything about your wonderful home. Comfort, location, decor and much more. We love the beach of course - Hatteras, driving on the beaches, and looking for bears in Alligator River. Thanks again. There is nothing we could think of to make our stay any better. We will be back. Maybe to celebrate our 45th anniversary."

"OBX Oasis. I’ve been coming to OBX for 56 years and have stayed in rentals between Duck and Avon. Captain’s Quarters is one of the finest I’ve vacationed in. With its perfect location, nestled between Nags Head MP16 and downtown Manteo, you get all the best OBX has to offer. Gated, beautifully landscaped community with amenities galore and elevators. Captain’s Quarters offers high-end luxury from its wonderful beds, fully equipped kitchen and beautiful décor to the relaxing covered patio overlooking the sound. Watch the sunrise, dolphins, birds and boats all in a tranquil atmosphere. If you’re a boater, bring it along, as there is a private dock. When you can tear yourself away from Captain’s Quarters, you can be at the beach, or in downtown Manteo, in under 10 minutes. I can’t say enough about how impressive Captain’s Quarters at Pirate’s Cove is and will go back for certain."

"The Captain’s Quarters condo is beautifully decorated. The views of the sunrise on the sound, boats in and out of the marina, and the bridge were very enjoyable. While the entire condo is impeccably decorated, our family favorite spot was at the table on the deck overlooking the sound. The condo was clean, the kitchen well-appointed, the beds comfortable, and the access easy. We will definitely stay again!"

"This condo was the perfect getaway for my husband and I! Its comfortable furnishings and decor were well-appointed - nicer quality than we’ve seen at other rental properties, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The best part was the private screened-in porch overlooking the sound. It’s the ideal spot to have coffee or mimosas while watching the sunrise! If you don’t want to get up that early, you can enjoy the same amazing view from the master bedroom without leaving your bed.We discovered many amenities just outside the condo, as well. A few steps away are the sand volleyball court, covered picnic pavilion, fitness center, and a beautiful pool. A little further - an enticing playground for little ones, and the popular restaurant ‘Blue Water Bar & Grill’. Eventually, we ventured into Manteo with its quaint shops and eateries, the nearby North Carolina Aquarium and the Lost Colony, Roanoke Island. All of this is within a short distance of the condo. Over the bridge in the other direction are the ocean beaches and outlet mall - also not far away.We loved the location and welcoming feel of this property and would definitely recommend it! We are looking forward to visiting again!"

"This condo was a great getaway for my husband and I! The furnishings and decor were well-appointed - very comfortable and nicer quality than we see in other rentals, and it was well stocked with everything we needed. The best part was the stunning view from the private screened-in porch…It’s only feet away from the sound and an ideal spot to have coffee or mimosas while watching the sunrise! If you don’t want to get up that early, you can enjoy the same amazing view from the master bedroom without leaving your bed! We found that the community has plenty of amenities, as well. Just steps outside the condo are a volleyball court, covered picnic area, fitness room, and a beautiful pool. A little further - an enticing playground for the little ones, and the very popular restaurant, ‘The Blue Water Bar & Grill’. We eventually ventured out to enjoy the quaint town of Manteo with its shops and eateries, as well as the North Carolina Aquarium and The Lost Colony, Roanoke Island. These are all within a mile or so from the condo. The outlet stores and ocean beaches are in the opposite direction, but also not far away. We loved the location and welcoming feel of this property and would definitely recommend it. We look forward to visiting here again!"

"This was the perfect place to spend a week in OBX. The expansive view of the sound and sunrise in the morning start each day off just right. The covered porch is great for watching the boats come in and out all day. For a beach day, it is only minutes from the Jeannette’s Pier and its public beach access and facilities. If you want something different, downtown Manteo is just a few minutes in the other direction with great shopping and eating. If you are up for a bigger adventure, the Outer Banks Scenic Byway will take you all the way south to Ocracoke and provide with incredible views and places to pull off and enjoy the scenery along the way. My wife and I are so glad to have found this gem that provided a clean, safe, convenient and wonderful place to stay that truly feels like paradise. We will always try to stay here from now on!"

"This place has some of the best sunrise views in the Outer Banks! The whole place gets a ton of light and is very spacious for a condo. The place was extremely clean & well stocked. It had everything I needed for a lovely vacation. The elevator was a nice bonus so I didn’t have to carry all my beach stuff up & down stairs every day. I highly recommend & will be staying here again!"
