This place needs like a 8 star review. My family has such a wonderful time. We went kayaking, paddle boating we fished the whole time. We did throw back 95% of the fish so they are there for you to catch. Only kept a few catfish and a few bluegill. It was very family friendly. There was a game room that we didn’t use because we were outside the whole time. We had bonfires, and cookouts. It was just so much fun and so relaxing we will definitely be back if we head that way. I think our dog even had the best time of his life he’s never got to run so much and play so much outside. He’s 12 years old and I haven’t seen him move around like that in a long time. The hosts were wonderful answering questions immediately. We checked out a lot of thrift stores in town which that was also fun. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your little slice of heaven.

At Captain's Cove my sisters and I found a wonderful little hideaway to enjoy an extended weekend together; we didn't even need to leave the property to have a good time!

Our family & pups LOVED staying here! From exploring the property, fishing, being able to play one of the many games provided - there was tons to do! Great location close to town. Will definitely be back!

The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the quiet and sitting outside. We were wanting to use the pond to float and get sun. The pictures show the pond as having walk in access and a place to use the kayaks. Around the pond was very over grown and the only access to the was from a dock.
