Railing on section of crows nest was not attached. Due to condition of crows nest my family was not able to use it. Picnic table on upper deck had seating boards barely hanging on. Plastic chairs on upper deck were cracked from heat and sun. Bunk room full bed was a black futon. The black mattress appeared dirty, covered with a stained piece of foam padding that was covered with a stained and torn mattress pad. Mattress pad was replaced when property management was contacted. My family did purchased a mattress encasement for the black futon, foam padding and mattress pad because we were concerned about sleeping on it. Property management company was very responsive to our concerns. We were scheduled to stay six nights but only stayed two. I definitely would not recommend this property. ![Stairs leading to crows nest pulling away from frame. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4cc93ee-5744-43cb-83df-b41072f0cf77-1754269265817.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Crows nest railing not attached. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/025f370b-4659-4af9-a5a0-e136c31d631f-1754269267229.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Black futon -full bed in bunk room. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9121e879-d2b2-4bec-b713-40d415ff6869-1754269267282.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Stained foam padding that covered the black futon. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2c9f237f-72e9-4350-ae3a-fe116da940cf-1754269267496.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dolly S.

I rented this home for my parents and in-laws for July 4th. They enjoyed the view from the patio! It’s a short walk to the beach. The property management leaves a starter pack which consisted of complimentary soaps, 2 rolls of toilet paper, 2 pods for the dish washer and the washing machine. The home is cheerful and bright. The family had a wonderful weekend. ##### jennifer k. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer H. 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Great location! The location is the best part. The house itself is smaller than it appears online. Also the house needs some TLC. Broken steps, uneven landing on the bottom, the foot rests on the table chairs were all coming apart, broken in half sweeping broom, dryer didn’t dry clothes. Overall it was ok but like I said the location was the best part. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Chris B. 19 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not a good stay Disappointing. Never had a bad experience in Pirates Beach before. Would never use Coastal Waves again to book or stay at a property managed by them. NOT clean, old, outdated. Shelves and counters and literally every area you could place things on was full of dust or sticky. Light switches filthy. Tripped over top stair of outside staircase and bottom of outside staircase do to missed boards or warped. Called the office on arrival about these issues and no one called back. ##### Chris B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alan P. 28 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication #### 3/5 This review is based on the price + ridiculous fees/cleaning fees/rules for check out: This beach house would be perfect if you bring your dogs or have messy kids. The floor tiles are broken and glued back with epoxy, the linens are not great and the toilet paper is 1 ply and the bath towels are old. We got an email from the Mgmt company listing everything that you should bring which is basically everything (beach towels/toys/basic kitchen stuff) and say you will have 1 roll of toilet paper for each bathroom to get you started. You don't find this out until the date after which you cannot cancel. We brought tons of stuff - coffee filters, paper products and they actually did have everything there (but no beach towels). You have to start laundry and clean the kitchen before you go even though you pay a cleaning fee. The location is great and if you are only sleeping there then it's probably fine...but paying > $1400 for 3 nights for this house is turning me back into a hotel person. ##### Alan P. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pat O. 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Older House, Great Location Last minute trip for spring break. My son was in from college and we decided to book some guides for a few days of fishing. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we only fished one day. Therefore we spent much more time at the house than we planned. The house is in a great location and very walkable to the beach. Pirates Beach is a great neighborhood and if we were there for a week long Beach trip, I would suggest renting a golf cart to cruise around. The house itself is an older house for the neighborhood and with that comes maintenance. It appears there is some neglect going on as the landing at the bottom of the main stairs is in need of replacing. There are a number of lose boards with nails/screws sticking up. The wood underneath is rotted so they won’t tighten down. Under the house/deck there is some peeling paint and missing fascia boards, just looks neglected. As for inside, the house was relatively clean and well equipped. My wife did clean all the light rocker switches with a Clorox wipe as she said they were very dirty. The furniture is old and needs updating. The white leather couch is peeling and stained and the dining chairs all have thick planting on the cushions like grandmas house. The biggest issue and the main reason we would not rent this house again are the beds. The beds are horrendous. I actually had to look and see if I was sleeping on a box spring. That is the hardest cheapest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. A little investment in the property would make a huge difference because the location is so good. But as a renter, spending a little more gets you a lot more. ##### Pat O.

Great location that is close to the beach!perfect size for our occasion. Loved the outdoor shower. It was nice to have sand toys and board games. Plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. Needs a little upkeep. ##### Daralyn L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken B. 3 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice stay Very short walk to beach, great location. ##### Ken B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandy J. 31 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house and location They definitely need to do some updating and repairs. Doors had a hard time working. Master room door is rusted big time. Had a hard time opening. This is the first house I've staying in that didn't have all kinds of extra stuff. As much as we pay they could definitely provide more toilet paper. There were no trash bags at all. And the master bed was so hard. Other than that the house was clean and worked fine for our beach weekend. It was in a great location. ##### Sandy J.

Perfect house for the right price, great view of the beach from the deck and third story deck. Great breeze flow keeps you nice and cool. Overall great stay highly recommend. ##### Joseph P.
