Captain's Quarters: Soundfront | Private Boat Slip - Vacation rental home in Manteo, NC

Captain’s Quarters overlooks the Roanoke Sound with a spectacular sunrise view of the Washington Baum Bridge and south Nags Head. This opulent condo, located 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, expansive sunrise vistas 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 supplied with your reservation and provides access to an appealing array of resort amenities such as: pool, hot tub, exercise building, playground, and (of course) the Pirates Cove Marina and Blue Water Grille.

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 modernized 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 couch, 50” TV, and a book & game collection.

A 5-min. drive provides simple access to both the beach and downtown Manteo. Savor Nags Head’s Jennette’s Pier with its 1,000-foot fishing pier, wide sandy beach, ample parking, and new public bath home. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore (don’t miss the lighthouse!), Pea Island, Coquina Beach, and Oregon Inlet are just a few close by beachy destinations.

Downtown Manteo provides many shopping & dining options in a striking waterfront setting.
