“I arrive and leave with heart felt hugs and the promise to be back soon.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is such a great place. Linda and Elizabeth remember your name after you have left. They allow you to bring your furry family members and enjoy their southern charm. It's not the Sheraton, it's not the Marriott. What it is ...is a place you can come, be treated with southern love and your pets are welcome.
I have an extended family at Captain's Cove and for me and huge Estrela Mountain Dogs....we will always stay at Captain's Cove.
I have even called from another beach and say, "I am not having a good time" and before I have finished my sentence, I have been invited to 'come home to Captain's Cove' . I arrive and leave with heart felt hugs and the promise to be back soon.

We had a great time, relaxing, across streat from GREAT seafood restraunt, uncrowded pool, only drawbacks, cannot view beach from motel, silverware in our upstairs apt was dirty, and dishes were dirty, (maybe housekeeping missed them) put put for kids next door. Very very economical, and ciuld take our boston terriers. would and will always return.

Room Tip: always get upstairs apt, there are only two, quiet

“For $85 a night, I got someone else's...”

For $85 a night, I got someone else's head hair and pubic hair in the nasty tub that looked dirty, which also was backed up with water, a stopped up toilet, which my roommate unstopped when the staff gave him the plunger, and no remote for the television. I definitely will not come back to this establishment!

“Feels like home!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

If there ever was a family, friendly, homey place to stay, it's Captain's Cove Motel. This place is great. It has everything you need to have a great beach vacation. The grounds are clean and has grills and picnic tables, you can cook out and socialize with the other guest staying there. The staff are the best. The two ladies that own it are very sweet and will take care of all your needs. I have stayed there several times throughout the years for the last three years. They are always happy to see you and make you feel welcome. The prices are great and with the economy the way it is, it's nice to be able to get away and it feel like home.

“Older cozy Motel, very clean Great pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2010

My family and I stayed at Captain's Cove in Oak Island this past summer and had a blast, now if your looking for fancy you won't find it here. the rooms are older(paneled walls, outdated decor) But they are very clean and the people that run the motel are super friendly! We started the weekend not sure if we'd like the place and finished off not wanting to leave! With a little walk down a side street to the open uncrowded beach, putt putt and a game room next door, food lion grocery a few blocks away with plenty of restarants too. I can't wait to go back this year and not have to spend an arm and leg for my family to have fun! Oh and the pool area is fenced in and too cute with the dolphin fountain the kids never wanted to leave.
