Budget Accomodations in a Great Area

I love this old-school place but if you are picky about your mattress firmness it might not be the best; the beds weren't very comfortable this time.

Nice pool and location. Cozy and retro. Room quality is pretty poor quality and light bulbs and tv remote and the refrigerator didnt work. Lots of shady people seem to stay there.

Cozy and Charming

This was an adorable and charming little mom and pop place. Everything about it was inviting with old beach motel charm. The location was amazing in that it was close to beach and restaurants and even in town it was nestled under the oaks with a tropical landscape. This is a sweet spot for family and children to play as well. The staff serviced our room and refreshed it while we took a dip in the pool and we just couldn’t be more pleased with the personal attention. We will definitely return.

All rooms were smoking. The tub wasn't clean. The curtains & bedspreads were outdated and oversized. The soft chair was over-used and old. Lots of noise & banging from room above our room. Terrible parking, not enough. The beach is much further than the map shown shows.

Literally the worst hotel. Should be a 0 star. I impulsivly booked this hotel because of price and location. We got there and the "lobby" is a disguisting portion of a house. Staff was dressed in dirty pajamas and it looked like a hoarders paradise. When we got to the room it stunk, had cockroaches crawling on the wall and dead beatles. In the bathroom there were ants and the sheets were torn from what i could see. We turned around and left. Not even worth the cheap price.

We loved our night at Captain Cove. It was so nostalgic of my family road trips as a kid. Yes, it's very 80's Roadside Motel inside the rooms, but they are clean and comfortable. The staff was so nice and my kids LOVED the pool. Quick walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants around. You can also grill in their adorable courtyard. Would definitely go back!

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The toilet needed a lid. We liked that it was only a short walk to the beach.
