There was also no remote for the tv. I have sent multiple text messages with no response. 7/8/25-- I stayed for a week and wrote the initial 1 star review after getting no response to repeated requests for sheets. I pushed it up to 3 stars because there were no other issues that week. I also rebooked for next year and there have been some staffing changes and the new folks seem much more professional and responsive.

What makes this different then the other places? Well, I think that the place is simply more inviting than others. It isn't some big huge building that is ran by someone that doesn't like doing their job. It is ran by Jack and Janie and they are awesome. More than likely you will be friends with them before you leave. :) Of course, if you are wanting room service and all that mess, then don't come here. If you are just wanting a home away from a home then this is my first pick. If you are thinking about going here, message me and I will let them know that you are thinking about coming! :)

At first, the peeling paint in the tub and on the balcony, as well as the water heater in the closet made me think we were in for a difficult stay. Nothing could be further from the truth. We loved our stay here. And honestly, for the price, it was easy to overlook some of the disrepair. Pros Easy access to beach Very very clean facility (yes, two verys) Stunning ocean views Clean pool and spa Walking distance to restaurants Grills available to BBQ Friendly housekeeping staff Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need! Did I mention how clean the fridge and stove were? Veteran parking! (Thank you for your service) Cons Maintenance staff was a little grumpy Pool/spa closes at dusk. Old man Smithers (maintenance) will stare angrily until you leave. (Other guests come back after he leaves for the day, we did not) Pool bathrooms are basically in the gym bathroom. They are no where near the pool. No in room laundry, but for about $5 a load there is a washer and dryer on the 5th floor. It is a timeshare, so they will try to get you to attend their presentation. (We did not) On Wednesday we remarked at how wonderful it was to sit on the couch listening to the waves, and how quiet it was...NEVER say that. Thursday night we got new neighbors who could not figure out how to close their door without slamming it, played loud music and talked over the loud music. We took a day trip Friday to get away from the noise, but someone must have complained because they were quiet Friday night. If you're not Daddy Warbucks, this is a wonderful place to spend a few days.

I was concerned about booking after reading some of these reviews but then found out that each unit…read moreis different and are privately owned condos with some people living there full-time. Pirates Cove originally was a hotel. After seeing a FaceBook page for this unit (https://www.facebook.com/DaytonaCondo), we decided to take a chance and stayed in a top floor unit (726) which had 2 queen bedrooms each with its own ocean front balcony!! And when I say oceanfront, I mean it - the only thing btwn the building and the ocean is the complex's pool! It also has a living room with a double sofa-bed, dining area, and fully equipped (small but very functional) kitchen and 2 full baths. Just had to bring our own beach towels but all other linens were provided & clean. A cleaning service had the unit spotless upon arrival and there was even a private maintenance crew available for that unit's renters should they need a light bulb or anything else. Being on the top floor was an extra bonus - no noises from outside or overhead. Except, of course, the sounds of the ocean when sitting on the balcony! :-) Oh, and there's a small exercise room and coin-op laundry in the basement. So bottom line is, not all units are equal and some owners appear to provide better units than others. It's booked by a management company called itrip.net, not Pirates Cove directly. Go and enjoy!!

The owner of my unit is awesome and keeps the unit clean with having a service come each month. I'm from NJ and I live on the beach with a pool and my ocean view for less than the cost of a 1br in NJ... Yes my unit is a studio but it's perfect for me to relax after retiring and taking a year away from NJ to recharge and get my mental health as well as my physical health back on track. The location is close to all restaurants and shopping it's convenient and u can drive into the beach just have the pass. I'm 30 minutes from NSB and Flagler Ave that I frequent on weekends for my entertainment spots. Each unit is different as well as each owner is different, if you have a owner that cares you will not have an issue and any issue you do have should be taken up with the units owner..

She yelled out…read moreto me in the parking lot while I was messing around with my things to come hurry and check in (I was within check-in time). She showed me the thermostat to stay at 66 degrees and gave me "the look" about changing it. The reason she gave is so that the rest of the guests in that building did not get hot. For the few nights I was there, not one other guest stayed in that building, and just a few in the main building. (and this was high season). One couple was there the first day and I imagined they looked a little scared too. I love B and B's with their little quirks and oddities. I make them a habit and I work with little things that are not perfect, which they seldom are in old buildings. However, normally the hosts are always warm and friendly and help you work with whatever it is. In this instance I was afraid to ask for any help at all - just kept a low profile. I would not recommend this one if you're looking for anything that feels welcoming. p.s. they have two large dogs that rush the fence barking whenever you walk to your car.

I have owned a timeshare here since 1981. I noticed today that it only averaged 3 stars on Yelp,…read moreand wondered why. So, I read all the reviews. I noticed that most of the one-star reviews are outdated, and no longer accurate from before the significant remodeling and change in management. Even most of those were the typical angry knee-jerk one-star reactions caused by a negative interaction with a staff member, or the fact that they were inconvenienced by specific incidences like the pool being closed due to being under repair. Those reactions might or might not have been accurate, and justified at the time, but the issues I read have all been rectified via remodeling, or management changes. This review is from the end of 2024, and all available rooms have been freshly remodeled with an open room concept. The majority of rooms come in two slightly different sizes. The even numbered rooms are slightly larger rooms, while even number rooms are slightly smaller. All rooms with numbers ending in 12 or under are beachfront rooms with balconies. Those ending in 13 or above are beach view rooms with balconies (except for rooms ending in 17), facing the Andy Romano Beachfront Park. There are those that like the south facing, sun bathing time balconies of the numbered rooms ending in 13-16. I personally love the view from any of the beachfront units, numbered rooms ending in 1-12. There are two available elevators, centrally located, as well as two sets of stairs at both ends of the L shaped building. The front desk is staffed 24/7, but the front door is locked in the evening, requiring room key access. There is also a gated side entry door and the beach stairs gated entry, both require room key access. All rooms have kitchenettes that include a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, sink, and lots of cupboard space. The kitchens have a full complement of dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, etc. The bathroom has power ventilation, a sink/vanity, toilet and walk-in shower. Rooms have a closet, a dresser with plenty of drawers, a sleeper sofa, a table with four chairs, a modern cable and internet streaming capable good size TV on the wall and a queen size bed. There is a/c, heating, and Wi-Fi available throughout the facilities, including the rooms. Each room has a balcony with a couple of small plastic chairs and a table. The facility has a good size heated outdoor swimming pool, indoor hot tub, and small gym. There are changing rooms in that area, as well as an outdoor grill area. There are plenty of lounges and tables with umbrellas on the pool deck. Beach access via gated stairs is available from the pool deck or via the Milsap beach ramp directly adjacent to the property. Most week days there also is some limited social activity available for children, and/or adults. Most of the rooms allow two to four occupants, although they do have a limited amount of rooms that can hold up to eight guests. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms, or at the facilities, except on the balconies, and in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, during high occupancy periods, parking can be challenging, but they do have an agreement for overflow parking across the street, in the rear parking lot of the Beachside Restaurant. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed on the property. Official documented service animals, by law, are. There are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance, with modern traffic caution lighted crosswalks to safely get across the often busy five lane A1A. Many gift shops are in the area, as well as a shopping center within a half mile that has multiple stores, including a Publix, Walgreens, and UPS Store. The beach is the typical hard pack, walk-able, drive-able beach of the Daytona area. Directly south of the property is the Andy Romano Beachfront Park, which does not allow cars, so it is safer for children. The park has restroom facilities with modern plumbing, picnic tables, a small padded playground, and an in season children's splash pad. This is an older former hotel building, but with over all good upkeep, and plenty of new remodeling. The manager and staff are all competent, professional, accommodating, and friendly. I unreservedly give my full recommendation to this property for a beach vacation.
