Family Fun at Pirate's Queen

We had such a great family time on our recent vacation at this property. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us to hang out, play cards, and enjoy meals together! And the location is excellent, walking distance to the pier, restaurants and shopping.

Great Place for the Price

We originally had plans to split a house 3 ways in OB but plans fell through so we found this place and paid for the WHOLE house with our portion that we were contributing to the other house. The location of this house is PERFECT! It's SO close to the beach access and I love that it's a relaxed, laid back beach, but if you want to do the touristy beach stuff, it's right down the road (our teenagers really enjoyed the boardwalk). The bunk room was great for our teens and their friends and it was so nice to be able to bring our dog with us (and the house didn't smell like some "pet friendly" homes I've been in! No evidence of pets being there other than the thoughtful extra dog bowls and waste bags outside). Fort Fisher beach was a great visit, right down the road, as well. Thanks itrip for being so accommodating and responsive throughout the week and making sure that everything was just right! We will be booking more vacation homes through you!

Large duplex in great location!

We really enjoyed our stay. We are VRBO owners too and can offer a couple friendly notes. 1. Six areas (5 bedrooms + living room) needs 6 televisions. There were 3. We had to bring one from home. 2. Saw a roach the last night in living room under coffee table. We know the beach has more than average bugs, but hopefully not roaches. 3. Your tile in the lowest level is really dirty. The Grout is black. All the grout throughout needs cleaning. 4. Your dryer may need replacing soon as it is making a strange sound. 5. The vacuum cleaner also does not work well and needs replacing. 6. Found a piece of broken glass under bar by window under barstool. Also found one inside the cabinet. 7. You may consider adding more weather-proof outdoor seating. The house holds a lot of people but the couch only holds 4 and gets wet and stays wet with rain. The plastics Adirondack chair is cracked and needs replacing. 8. A couple pillows only had pillow protector covers and not pillow cases on them. 9. It was great to have extra beach chairs and boogie board and a place to wash your feet. What a wonderful house!

Family Beach Trip, Pirate Queens

My whole family enjoyed the beach house very much. We really liked that we could spread out, and enjoy the openness of the kitchen, it allowed multiple people in there at once. We also really enjoyed the location of the beach house. It was walking distance to restaurants, and very close to the beach access. The elevator really helped two of my family members that have mobility issues.

Good location.

The house was great, plenty of space for the 9 of us. Kitchen has all the utensils for cooking. The separatw balconies are great for hanging out. Do be cautious of the chairs on the second floor balcony, they're a little dry rotted. The only complaint anyone had was that the floors were Very dirty, we all had black feet, and anytime there was something to wipe up the towel we would wipe it up with would come up black. But thats an easy fix. We just mopped and everything was fine! The access to the beach is right across the road, which was great with our kids. We enjoyed staying there.

Had a relaxing time at this beach house. The view from the deck was stunning, and the house had a cozy feel. Would recommend for a chilled-out beach break.

Incredible Stay

Our family had an incredibly enjoyable stay. The location is fantastic, featuring decks that provide ocean views and you can even hear the waves! The property management team was outstanding and ensured we had a great experience. We left with cherished memories, we're eager to return to this little piece of paradise. I highly recommend it!

Moldy Mess

First, I was told that we could get in early and then they didn’t send anyone to check the property until 10 mins before check in time which meant we sat waiting for an hour even though the house wasn’t even rented the previous week. The house was riddled with mold from top to bottom. Two of the bathrooms had showers that didn’t drain at all. The whirlpool tub that was advertised in the master bath was unusable due to a large crack in the bottom. The overall decor was extremely dated. The mold was so bad that every member (7 total adults) of my party was having breathing and allergy issues by the time we left after only 4 nights in the house.

Great Place for Large Group

My family recently celebrated a special event at the beach with three generations in tow. There was plenty of room for all, and the property was very clean. We loved the open layout upstairs and that there was plenty of seating for all. Proximity to the beach and pier were great. My two recommendations for the property owners would be to get new mattresses for the non king beds. Those who didn’t get kings said their beds weren’t very comfortable, especially the bunk beds. The knives are dangerously dull. If you are serious about cooking, bring your own knives. Couch had just been cleaned before we got there…yay! Except it was too wet to sit on the first day.

Wonderful SECOND Time at Pirates Queen

Once again, our family had a wonderful stay at the Pirates Queen. The house was perfectly clean with a kitchen that had everything we might need for all the family dinners we cooked during our stay, clean and comfortable bedrooms and a location that cannot be beaten. We returned for our second year in a row at the Christmas holidays to gather as a family together and were not disappointed. The team at iTrip go out of their way to make you feel welcome and while we had no issues at all, made it clear that they were easily contacted in the case that something should arise. With ages of 76 to 12 and 10 of us in total, this house met all of our needs for such a family gathering - from the location to the number of bedrooms to the elevator that allowed my elderly father who is wheelchair bound the ability to come this year again. It was a trip that we as a family needed as this past year has been troubled with the deteriorating health of my father and this house allowed us to gather and not have to worry about any physical limitations. We look forward to booking again next year to celebrate the holidays as a family. Thank you so much!
