The Captains Quarters is a wonderful home! It is so beautiful inside and spacious! We hosted Easter for our family and it was perfect! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! Location is excellent as well! We walked to the Sponge Docks and we were 10 minutes from the beach! Highly recommend.
