Tucked along the tranquil back bays of Atlantic City lies a hidden gem unlike any other: the Capone Clubhouse—a vintage waterfront retreat steeped in local lore and modern-day comfort. Managed by Cozy Co-Host, this boutique rental property invites travelers to step into a chapter of Atlantic City’s colorful past while enjoying the style and convenience of a thoughtfully curated vacation home.
Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway, celebration, or a deep dive into the history of America’s Playground, the Capone Clubhouse is an unforgettable destination.
Why Capone loved Atlantic City
During Prohibition (1920–1933), Atlantic City was known as “The World’s Playground”—and it lived up to the name. While much of the country was dry, Atlantic City openly defied Prohibition laws, making it a haven for illegal liquor, gambling, and vice.
Capone, who made his fortune as a bootlegger, found the city's lax enforcement and permissive culture ideal for both business and pleasure. It was a place where he could network with fellow gangsters without much fear of law enforcement interference.
Capone loved to enjoy the good life, and Atlantic City offered everything he craved:
Luxurious hotels like The Ritz-Carlton and Traymore
Seaside resorts with anonymity away from Chicago headlines
Gambling dens, clubs, and high-end speakeasies where he could relax and entertain
He was said to frequent the shore not only for business, but for vacation-like retreats, sometimes with family and friends, making it both a hideout and a playground.
History Meets Hospitality
Rumored to have once served as a Prohibition-era hideout for Al Capone, this charming bungalow captures the spirit of 1920s Atlantic City—an era filled with speakeasies, rum runners, and seaside mischief. While definitive records of Capone's Atlantic City visits remain elusive, the stories passed down through the decades have made this spot a local legend.
Today, the Capone Clubhouse honors that legacy with subtle nods to its past:
A vintage-style bar area perfect for evening cocktails 🍸
Classic nautical accents and rustic touches throughout
Historic photos and themed decor that make the home a conversation piece in itself
But don't worry—this home has been updated for modern comfort, blending timeless vibes with amenities that ensure your stay is anything but old-fashioned.
