Captain's Cove Motel

Captain's Cove Motel

8/10 Good
"We stayed here 6 years ago. We knew the rooms were cozy. We returned because of the proximity to the beach. Last time, the island had very few lights and the stars were amazing! I felt like you could reach out and touch the Milky Way. Now there are more houses and lights and so, fewer stars were visible than in my backyard. There is now a fee for parking if you want to bring a vehicle with a cooler or whatever to the beach. The beach is still beautiful, room is cute, but had a weird smell, and walls need repairs. There was no shampoo, and we had to request cups. We didn't have time for the pool, as it was on the news the bridge would close to move a house. I felt like $140 was overpriced. Room had a table with 2 chairs I didn't take a picture of."
