“Pirates Cove aims for a fun, beachy vibe with its pirate theme, but some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The outdoor appearance is inviting, contrasting with some dated aspects inside the rooms. For travelers looking for a budget-friendly stay near Carolina Beach, it might serve as a base, though planning some off-site dining is wise.”
