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!

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.
