We are leaving this place TOMORROW MORNING!!!! Stains on carpet, stains on chair, gaps in door no elevator, and just dumpy outdated decor. This place is pet friendly and really shouldn't be. The walls are thin and you can hear other people's dogs barking. No real amenities. Ugggh...She did refund us because we reserved two nights. Only good thing.

Pretty great value for the money. They messed up our reservations that I had made two months in advance (2 bedroom apartment), so they gave us two adjourning rooms, instead. We would have loved to have the apartment, but it worked out, as we had two bathrooms, and two separate rooms for the same price as the apartment would have... More

We are not very picky but this motel was pretty crappy. The one bed in the room was probably a full size so needless... More

I don't recall just how many times we've stayed here. If I'm in Oak Island, we are at Captain's Cove. They know me by name, I know them by name. We are extended family so to speak. They always come out and greet us with smiles and hugs, and I always promise to visit again soon. Sounds much like visiting... More

My husband and I and our two dogs just spent two wonderfull days here. We plan on returning soon this summer. The room was clean,comfortable, and pet- friendly. The woman at the front was so nice,and even gave us us a welcome gift for our dogs. Very nice family run motel; cozy and close to everything.
