Reel Escape Sleeps 4. (1Q, 1T Bunk Bed) While staying at Reel Escape you can enjoy all the amenities that Pirates Cove Resort has to offer. There is no other place quite like it on the Outer Banks!

After enjoying the 4 mile boardwalk around the resort you can sip your morning coffee overlooking the water. When you're ready to venture out, you can head to the beaches of Nags Head (a 5 minute car ride) or to downtown Manteo for some of the cutest and most unique shopping on the Outer Banks.

If you need some afternoon activity, enjoy a tennis match or a game of pickle ball before freshening up for dinner.

WHY CHOOSE A CONDO OVER A HOTEL?
Since Reel Escape is a smaller condo, we often get inquiries from guests who are choosing between us and a hotel room. There are many advantages to choosing an independent vacation rental over a hotel. We have listed some of them below for your reference:
-Our full kitchen enables you to cook meals when you would otherwise have to dine out. The average traveler spends approximately $45/day dining out, which can add up to significant savings for a week long stay!
-Reel Escape is larger than a typical hotel room and has more privacy. With a separate living room, porch, bedroom, and kitchen - there is plenty of room to spread out during your stay.
-We have a washer and dryer inside our unit and even provide laundry detergent for your convenience! (Anyone else hate using the same dirty beach towel for an entire week?)
-Hotels typically have basic cable and charge big fees for any additional entertainment. At Reel Escape, we have an extended cable package as well as a Smart TV with a complimentary Netflix subscription.
-Amenities! No hotel in the Outer Banks offers the type of amenities that Pirates Cove Resort does. By choosing Reel Escape, you enjoy access to a pool, hot tub, baby pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, bocce courts, a huge fitness center, picnic area, walking trails, an onsite restaurant and tiki bar, convenience store, marina, AND MORE!
-Last but certainly not least --- We truly want our guests to have an awesome stay. This is our home away from home, and we try to do everything we can to make your time here perfect.

5 Stars! Highly recommend this property! Property manager was the best!

The property was the perfect location for our family of 4. Michael was easy to work with and communicated with me before and during the trip. I will definitely stay here again.

5.0 / 5.0
We found this property on VRBO and it was everything that was advertised. It’s located in a beautiful boating community consisting of short stay renters and residents. It’s location is excellent for access to local attractions and points of interest. Blue Water Grill the on property restaurant was excellent. The property also offered a nice guest pool, gym and courts for pickleball and tennis. Our host Michael Lee responded quickly to questions and was engaged throughout our stay when contacted. He made excellent recommendations on dining, site seeing and entertainment. I would strongly recommend this rental to anyone with a small group visiting OBX.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful property! The place was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was beautiful and the community pool was great for our toddler. Would definitely recommend!
4.0 / 5.0
The location was perfect and quiet. Everyone was very friendly, the pool was nice, as was the restaurant at the marina. We enjoyed walking the boardwalk around the marina each day, seeing the ducks along the way, and watching the sunset in the evenings. We had a few hiccups, but the host was quick to respond and had housekeeping back to remedy the situation. Our only suggestion would be to possibly replace the main bed, as the one currently there is pretty noisy when you are getting up and down in the middle of the night to use the restroom. And, if you have more than 2 people, keep the showers shorter to avoid a luke warm shower.
Manteo is a wonderful little town and we suggest taking the time to visit. This rental is located perfectly for a visit to OBX.

The owners were easy to contact if needed, the unit was perfectly clean, comfortable, and nice! I will definitely rebook for my next visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Reel Escape in Pirate's Cove. The condo was immaculately clean, comfortably furnished, and tastefully decorated with beach-themed artwork and a blue-and-white color scheme--perfect for an OBX vacation rental. Our host, Michael, was friendly and professional in all our communications with him. This is our new favorite place to stay when we're visiting our family in nearby South Nags Head!

The condo was quiet and very relaxing. We enjoyed our daily walks along the boardwalks on the canals. We had one issue while there, but was assured that it would be taken care of after our stay. Good communication with the owner.

5.0 / 5.0
We were thrilled to be able to book this condo for a last minute stay in the Outer Banks. Another trip we had booked had fallen through and we still had the week off. The owners were quick to respond to our booking. Arrival went smoothly. The security guard was friendly. We didn’t spend a lot of time on the property as we were out exploring the Outer Banks. It was very comfortable and had just about everything we needed. Very happy with our choice to stay there. As a side note for future guests and to the owner, there were a couple things we would have appreciated. Towels - there was one thin bath towel per person. An extra towel or two would have been great, especially when the washer stopped working due to a small malfunction that the owner quickly responded to. Things happen and it wasn’t a huge deal. Anyway, bring extra towels if you want more than one. Garbage bags and dishwasher pods - One each was supplied. We stayed 5 nights and ended up buying extras. Other than those two very small things we enjoyed staying at the condo and had a great time! Thank you for your hospitality!
5.0 / 5.0
We are a family of three and the place worked out great. Perfect corner condo in the beautiful neighborhood of Pirates Cove. Quick access to Nags Head Beaches and to the small historic town of Manteo. Pirates Cove is an attraction in and of itself. Great for family bike rides and walks around the awesome marina. Lovely views of the sound made for perfect evening strolls. The condo is a quick walk to the pool which was great a great way to wind down after the beach. Full access to everything including the fantastic marina restaurant and tiki bar. Leslie was a wonderful host that accommodated us at every request. Great communication and responsiveness - no surprises. Perfect host. Perfect location. Perfect trip. 🙌🏼

This is such a nicely decorated and clean condo set up perfect for myself and two girls. It was the perfect place to come back to after a day at the beach! Very comfortable and clean! All the amenities are close by. There is public beach access right over the bridge in Nags head and the town of Manteo has a ton of shops and things to see. We enjoyed our trip so very much!!

This is my second time to stay at the condo, and I enjoyed myself even more. The condo is beautiful and in a great location. You can be at the pool in just a few minutes as well as the tennis courts or on site restaurant. I'm a walker, and I loved walking the the canals in the community.

Convenient and well appointed. Nicely decorated with plenty of supplies for the stay. Perfect for a couples weekend.
2.5 / 5.0
While we enjoyed our stay, we did find it not senior friendly. The climb up the stairs as well as the tub/shower with no grab bar we’re challenging! For this reason, we will likely not rent here again . It is, however, perfect for a younger couple or even family with infant and/or young child.

Nice property for a short stay on Manteo Island. Make sure to bring adequate personal supplies (soap, toilet paper, sponge to wash dishes) for this stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our four days in the condo this past week at Pirate's Cove. The location is wonderful with lots of things to do. The condo itself was well maintained and very clean and comfortable. The owners were easy to communicate with an responded quickly I were very helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

We attended a fishing tournament with our Club. We come to Oregon Inlet every other year or so and this time, it was just me and my wife staying together. The unit was as advertised, clean. It was very comfortable. We had one very minor maintenance issue which the manager handled quickly and successfully.
Great owner.

So nice to stay at this property. It has everything you need for a lovely weekend getaway. Very much enjoyed the ducks…we recommend you bring some bread!
2.5 / 5.0
We enjoyed the property for 4 days. The owner provided us with a clean, tastefully decorated and fully furnished place to stay. Did not lack for anything. We had our own deck overlooking a serene duck pond. Being in Pirates Cove Marina, a private and gated community, was a big plus. The owner was very responsive and easy to talk with. We would do it again and recommend it without hesitation to others.

Leslie was very nice , property was ready early & just immaculate!!
