We had a group of 10 adults for spring break and we had an incredible time. The owners were great at communicating and we really appreciated all of the amenities. Would highly recommend staying here with families and groups of friends. If we are back in the area, we would definitely stay here again.
The house was big enough for our family. The kids loved the pool and the arcade was a huge hit! The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the beach was just a short walk away. We’d definitely stay again.
This home was perfect for our family vacation! Not only did it offer entertainment for the adults but it did for the kids too! It was conveniently located within walking distance to the beach but also in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic. The owner was very responsive as well! I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again.
This place was everything and more that we expected. The pool and gameroom are perfect. There is plenty of room for a large family so that everyone has their own space.
Great experience. Great location. We’ve never not stayed oceanfront, but we just rented a golf cart and it was a breeze. However, very walkable even with children and a beach wagon! Loved the house and all it had to offer. Having a private pool and hot tub was wonderful! Will return.

Beautiful place. “But”
Had a great time here. This is a perfect place for a large family. Beautiful home and the location is great. Down side. They a letting this beautiful place just fall apart. It needs a lot of TLC.Pray they fix it up. We would love to go back. But not till they fix this beautiful home.
The overall check in, stay, & check out process was amazing. You can tell the house is an older home and needs a few updates / TLC but everything gets old with time. Other than that my family and I enjoyed it. The Communication was superb. The pool guy was very professional and his work was excellent. Despite the few little imperfections our stay was grand. My family & I will most definitely book this home again.
My family I have been to PCB before but staying here definitely made a difference. It sometimes felt like there was no reason to leave the house because it had something for everybody. When we did leave the house we were close to everything but yet far away from all the tourist craziness. The hosts were great. They always answered any concern promptly. I would definitely come back again.
The host was exceptionally attentive and helpful. The home was perfectly situated in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Everything was well maintained and as described in the listing. Thank you for such a welcoming visit we truly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended.
It was an absolute blast! Brought the whole family down and the house was absolutely the best part! Kids had a great time. The loved all the cats also lol! We was already looking at dates for next year to come back
We absolutely loved this house. It was spacious enough for my crew of 12. My kids and grandkids loved the games in the game room. I loved the fact that the downstairs bathroom lead out to the pool area which was an oasis in itself. We enjoyed every night out by the pool watching the kids play!
Our syay was very enjoyable however I should have been more observant about the seating. We had 9 people and only 6 bar stool style seats. Two of our group could not sit on these seats. We liked the room arrangements, 2 baths, outside patio with stainless steel propane grill. The pool was especially nice.
Amazing home that is so close to everything. Pier park was just a short walk down the road. The walk to the beach is extremely close to the property and the neighborhood is very quiet. I would highly recommend for multiple families.
We decided a year ago to take a trip to PCB for our sons graduation gift, with some of his friends, and another couple. We spotted Pirates Cove and thought it would be perfect, with the outdoor space, the game room, pool, quick walk to the beach, and Pier Park, it was the perfect fit for all of us. Close by is Muy Waynos, Best mexican food around! HUGE thank you to Ms. Berkeley for everything! She was wonderful to work with, always available to answer questions, polite, and very professional. I highly recommend Pirates Cove, and working with Berkeley at PCG getaways
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend. The home was clean and very comfortable. The only issue or complaint we had was the pool was not clean at all but as soon as we contacted the host they had someone out within 15 mins to clean the pool for us. Grocery store across road and several restaurants close by. Only 1 mile to Pier Park.
Misleading Listing, Broken Amenities, and Unacceptable CleanlinessThis was one of the most disappointing rentals I’ve ever stayed in and should not be advertised in its current condition.The home was dirty and unsanitary upon arrival. There were dirty pots and pans in the cabinets, visible grime throughout the house, mold in the upstairs shower, and bugs and spiders in the downstairs bathroom. The overall condition made us feel uncomfortable and gross staying there, which is completely unacceptable for a paid rental.The listing heavily advertises games and entertainment, but nearly all amenities were broken or unusable, making the listing misleading:Pool sticks were broken and missing cue tipsThe Pac-Man joystick would not move downward, making the game unplayableThe air hockey strikers were broken and falling apartThe air hockey table itself was damaged, causing the puck to repeatedly get stuck in broken ends of the tableThese are not minor issues — the amenities simply do not work.There were also multiple signs of neglect and disrepair throughout the home, including holes in the walls, tape stuck along the front door frame, and a broken locking chain on the downstairs bathroom door that leads to the backyard, which raised safety concerns.Overall, this property feels poorly maintained, inaccurately advertised, and not properly cleaned between guests. We were counting down the time until we could leave. I would strongly caution future guests and do not recommend it!
