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.

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.

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 NOT clean, old, outdated.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.

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.

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.

Perfect View on July 4th!
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.
