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!

I booked 2 rooms when I checked in the desk clerk said they only had a reservation for 1 room. They did accommodate me for another but if they couldn't i'd have been really pissed

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.
