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.

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.

Family run property with a great little pool for families with kids and just to hang out at during the day. Two block walk to the beach easy to get to close to grocery stores restaurants and anything else you need. Staff is amazing always on site and really work hard to keep the place updated and clean.
