We had an absolutely fabulous stay at this little hidden gem! So much better than a hotel room with incredible proximity to the beach in a quiet location. I would highly recommend this property and the wonderful owners who treated us with great hospitality.

I can’t say enough about the Captain’s Java Cottage. It is clean, well appointed, had a lovely patio, well stocked with special treats and anything you may need. All the comforts of home! The owners are friendly, helpful and quick to respond. This is our second stay and will definitely be back!!!

This is a nice choice to stay in if you're looking for a simple and affordable way to stay near the beach, hear the ocean sounds, and immerse yourself in the beach community.It's a very comfortable studio apartment set up attached to a house but with its own entry and privacy.

Very cute cottage 2 hours from a view of the beach. The fireplace was nice for the cold nights.Clearly a lot of thought was put into the decorations. It was cute and clean with fresh flowers set out. Owners left us a nice assortment of snacks as well.Excellent communication from the owner. Smooth process all around. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Captain Java’s Cottage!!! We always do. It is always smells and looks so freshly clean!! The fireplace was a so nice to have during the storm last night! Everything the hosts do at Captain Java’s is done with a very tasteful, and thorough approach/touch! We have stayed here several years now to join our family that camps at Strand Beach, and it is the perfect 5 minute walk to see them. If we forget something, we can walk a few minutes to grab it. It’s just PERFECT 🤩 We highly recommend Captain Java’s over any hotel. This is like your home away from home. The hosts make you feel like you’re at home!!! Hotels do not Thank you again to our gracious hosts!!!

David met us at our arrival and was very friendly and accommodating. The unit was spotlessly, clean and well appointed. There were a lot of extra touches, not usually found. Such as juice, coffee, milk, and the rare but coveted drip coffee maker. The bed was very comfortable. Location was great, just steps from the beach. We had a great visit.

What can I say... I can just attest to the fact hat everything that the previous stellar reviews said is true. With the exception that the photos of the interior posted by prior guests don't really give a justice to this place that is bigger and nicer that it appears on the photos. Also it is super clean, comfortable, quiet, and tastefully decorated. Am I posting my own inside photos? No because I was too busy running around taking pics of sunsets or resting comfortably on this ginormous bed...
