We had a great time and really enjoyed the amenities of the Pirate’s Cove neighborhood. The restaurant on site was amazing. With that being said, the house needed some updating and a deep clean. While switches were labeled and a large number of them did not work including all of the outdoor lighting. That was especially frustrating on the top deck (grill) and on the lower deck (hot tub). The hot tub was clean and in good working order, however some minor repairs are needed. The AC seemed to struggle to keep the upper level cooled off; especially in the living area. One thing that could have helped that would be changing out the filters, they looked like they had not been changed in months. The air vents weredirty looking and the lights above the bed in the upstairs bedroom were as well. The attic access in the upstairs bedroom closet was not properly sealed, which lead to high humidity in the closet/dressing room area. Some of the boards on the porches and the walkway to get to the canal were loose, which could be a safety hazard. It also seems that repairs for water damage in the upstairs bedroom were not done well. Another very important thing to mention is that the automatic door lock was very finicky. It did not work when we checked in. On the second day, a repair man came by and we had him add batteries and it worked

Such a great location! Less than 30 minute drive to all our activities and a beautiful place to stay. Highly recommend!

House is great location, but that is where the benefits stopped. This house could have been great if it was maintained better- huge bummer! - The house was incredibly dirty, we had read a comment on this location on the VRBO website but thought this would have been addressed after somebody else said it. The kitchen cabinets were filthy inside and out, every corner of the house was filled with dust and hair, and the master shower was filled with mold in the crevices and corners, it was truly unfortunate. - The dishes in the cabinets when we first got there were dirty, we had to re-wash everything before we used them. - The two vacuums in the house were unusable. They were filled with so much dust/dirt/hair that we weren't able to use them, which is not helpful when staying with kids, cooking and sand. - There were ants that were coming up through behind the kitchen faucet. - Only one towel per person is not very beneficial, especially for females. - The downstairs shower off the bunk rooms would not drain when using it. - The furniture on the back deck was incredibly dirty and not inviting to enjoy. - The temperature in the living room/dining room/kitchen hovered around 80 degrees on average most days, making it very uncomfortable to spend time in those areas. - Part of the ceiling in the bathroom attached to the lower master bedroom by the hot tub was peeling and falling to the floor due to a slow leak or mold in the ceiling.

The complex this house is located in is really nice and centrally located to the other islands. We enjoyed being able to use the complex amenities and the house itself created a very comfortable stay.

The good- the house is roomy and plenty of space for my family. It’s nicely decorated and in a great neighborhood. We loved taking walks in the evening and seeing the wildlife along the doc. The restaurant on site was really good and plenty of entertainment nearby. We went to coquina beach instead of Jeanette’s because it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Highly recommended! The bad- I highly suggest the owner finds a new cleaning crew or has his property manager do so. This house has so much potential and it’s a shame that we had to clean before we could start enjoying our stay. Also, things like pillows and mattress covers MUST be replaced regularly when renting.

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The house is beautiful and very spacious. It had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!

This property is so beautiful and is so family friendly. We stayed here for a wedding on the island and this house and the community was the perfect location. We will definitely be returning!

Overall, it was great! Property is in a great location with awesome views. Hot tub was nice and clean. The inside could have been cleaner but that will be fixed :)

Top of the chart. Fabulous house. Great location. Nothing missing. 100 💯 perfect!

Was great

Really enjoyed our stay at Hammock 50! The location was perfect for a quiet weekend spending quality family time together! The view from the upstairs living area was beautiful. The house layout suited our family perfect! Overall the house had what we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen, lacked on a few things, but didn’t deter us from cooking and enjoying meals together. The owner was very responsive to all my inquiries and we would stay at Hammock 50 again.

Pirate Cove, the community this home is located in was very pretty and maintained. The location and view of the water was gorgeous and was very convenient to shops and restaurants. That's where the positive experience ends. Photos online were a stark contrast to our experience in person. After booking, we were sent more info about the house. Including items that didn't work and the fireplace which we weren't allowed to use. The entire first day we had to go purchase cleaning supplies and products to stock the house with. The house was filthy and took hours to clean, just to make our stay somewhat habitable. The house is very neglected. The furniture is falling apart. The towels and blankets were all frayed and gross. The extra pillows downstairs had what appeared to be yellow drool or urine stains all over them. Some window treatments were missing or weren't operable. Multiple ceilings and window frames had mold on them or were missing drywall finish. There were brown finger prints on some of the bathroom doors. The dining room chairs have black tape on the seats and are covered with disgusting covers that come off when in use. The fridge and freezer were taped together. The kitchen knobs were mismatched or peeling. One of the cabinet doors hung off the hinges. Majority of the pots, pans, and kitchenware had food stuck to them. There were no paper towels, no dishwasher detergent, and very little toilet paper provided. The heating unit upstairs was not operable. It was so cold, we had to go buy a space heater for family members staying in the upstairs room. When we reached out to the owner regarding the issue, no apology or solution was given. The entire house had small black bugs on the floors. There was also a razor blade left in the window seal of the dining room, which our toddler could have gotten hold of. When you spend money to go on vacation, you have the expectation that it will be just as nice a stay or better than your own home. This was far from that. Overall, this was the worst experience we've had through VRBO. I would be embarrassed and ashamed to present this space to my guests. Or charge them a cleaning fee when the house is disgusting. I question what quality control measures VRBO requires of their renters and will be following up with them on this experience too. Hopefully, this "feedback" will be considered and the conditions will be improved for the next family looking to visit the Outerbanks.

Stayed for a few days to attend OBX Half Marathon weekend. Place was gorgeous, safe, convenient, and very picturesque. Spacious with extra room to move.

We enjoyed our stay at 50 Hammock in Pirate’s Landing. The owner was great to communicate with and our stay was great!

This is a beautiful house in a great location with great views. I will simply reinforce some of the previous reviews. I understand that it's the end of the season, but someone needs to go through the house and do some minor repairs and deep cleaning. The owner told me via phone that the dishwasher was running at maybe 80%. In fact, the spray arm was lying in the bottom, so it was completely inoperable. This was a minor issue to me, but it may have contributed to the sort of dirty feeling to many of the plates and utensils. I understand that we were relying on the dishwashing activities of the previous renters. We ended up hand-washing a batch and re-using them every meal. The icemaker has a very small bin and its plastic latch is broken and has a tape repair. We bought a bag of ice for routine use. The black slipcovers on the dining chairs are dirt and lint magnets. Some of the door locks were inoperable - I think one had a key broken off in it. There was black hair on one of the bathroom floors. There was heavy dust accumulation on some of the ventilation grates. Some of the bathroom baseboard trim is pulling away from the wall. The hot tub cover needs repair. Again, these are mostly minor gripes, but they did affect the overall experience.

All the steps to get to the main floor (nearly 30) were rather daunting. There was an unpleasant smell that probably had more to do with the surrounding marshes than the house itself. That said we did enjoy our stay in the area.

Our son got married at Vista Creek so Hammock 50 was the perfect location for my family! We also had our other son and his wife, our daughter and her boyfriend, and the grandfather of the groom and his lady friend; therefore, the size of the house and the configuration of bedrooms was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails on the deck. We also took advantage of the “walking” deck around the canals-just right for our morning exercise. We were close to cute shops and restaurants in Manteo as well as those in OBX. Highly recommend this property.

The property is beautiful. There were a few issues with cleaning that I discussed with the owner, who was receptive to what I was saying. My friends and I had a wonderful week at Hammock 50.

Our first time to OBX. The location of house and the amenities were perfect! Quick, easy and friendly check in. The house was extremely clean! Can use some updating but it was wonderful. Def would recommend !

Beautiful home & beautiful views from this home in a well manicured development. Plenty of activities for the kids.

We stayed at Pirate's Cove with our family of 10 people to celebrate my in-laws' 50th anniversary. We had three generations on the trip, with the happy couple, their adult children and several grandkids. The bedrooms were distributed just right for everyone to have a good place to stay in the house. There was plenty of room upstairs for us to gather together around the living room TV or at the dining table for one of the fine meals we took turns preparing for the group. The view from the house out to the waterfront was really nice, and we had access to the neighborhood pool down the street when we wanted to swim, in addition to visiting Jennette's Pier within an easy drive. We spent a lot of time exploring Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks throughout our week, so the house became our launch pad for activities each day, then we could return to the comforts of home. Everything was cleaned up before we arrived. The owners communicated well before we arrived to make sure we knew everything we would need to know to have a great week. It was a really fun trip, and we'd recommend the house to any adults/teens group like us!

We had so much fun staying at this rental. The house was incredibly clean and well maintained. It’s in a great location with stunning views and centrally located. Robert was communicative and accommodating. Would love to rent again!

Awesome location!

Pirates Cove community was great. 50 Hammock was lovely. We enjoyed our trip!

We enjoyed the house. Plenty of space for everyone and great communication with owner!

I was traveling to see the start of the winter migration of water birds. I had stayed at this property previously and wanted to return last year as well but was not able to get the rental. The house is centrally located to the majority of wildlife sanctuaries and other spots of interest I had planned to visit. There is plenty of space, cozy sofa, enormous TV, amazing views, & location. Plus the property owner is great! He is very considerate, accessible, and has a nice easygoing personality. I saw that previous recent reviews mentioned the need for updates and cleaning. Knowing this I rented it anyway. The pluses far outweigh any minuses. Yes, there are things that could use updating and a deeper cleaning would be a good idea. The pandemic is still impacting the area so there were places that were closed. The restaurant in the development was not open when I had expected it to be the night I arrived but there are a lot of other great restaurants in the area. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.

My family and I rented this property to celebrate Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed our stay so much. The house is beautiful, and has a wonderful and spacious open concept on the main level. The bedrooms are all large and comfortable as well. The owners communicated with us before our arrival, and made sure to answer all questions along with providing recommendations about the area. I was particularly glad they told us about the playground that was a very quick walk from the house, which we brought our toddlers to multiple times a day. Our whole party was so happy staying at the house, and we are already talking about a future visit.

The house is in an incredible gated community. The house was beautiful and owners were quick with communication. The setup of the house was great for our family.

This property was exactly what we needed. Daughters wedding was 3 miles away. Great view, nice neighborhood and location. We are considering Pirates Cove instead of the FL Keys for our next outting.

House is not clean, bugs in bathroom, front steps were in bad shape, a fall hazard, blinds at most windows were broken especially in bedrooms,. Would not consider renting again. Electrical breaker popping, missing light bulbs in fixtures, kitchen lights not operable, as well as overhead lights.

House was as advertised, nice place to stay.

Enjoyed the location. Host communicated well. House was a little dated but we know what to bring if we visit again. Overall it was a good visit and we would rent again.
