For the price of the motel it was great. Don’t expect too much, we had a good sleep, and the motel was clean.

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!

Quick and easy beach access as well as being in walking distance of multiple restaurants and right next to the arcade/ice cream/putt putt.

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

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.

Staff was very nice. Place is a set back from the 80's with room decor which was okay, but we saw a few bugs in room which changed our opinion overall

This place is 40 years old. For what it is it is amazing friendly staff. Get room 212 you won’t be disappointed. The bed by the air conditioner is absolutely amazing.
