This is an older place. The room and bathroom are small. It is clean and the staff are very friendly as well as most visitors we encountered. Private access to the beach and a nice view from the room.

I have stayed at this location twice now. I really enjoy our stay when we do. The staff is so friendly and polite. If you decide to stay here you definitely want to try the beach front rooms. In my opinion they are the best! Can’t wait to come here again!

It was in the middle of everything and we took advantage being near the beach for everyday sunrise. Unfortunately, the pier beside it was under renovation.

Beds and bathrooms were clean. Staff helpful and friendly . Flooring is uneven so there was a crack under the door. Garbage truck comes by most mornings at 4am and makes a ton of noise!

The location is great, we could literally step out onto the beach. The room itself is very basic. The TV wasnt a smart TV so you are limited to a small number of channels. I found the bed and couch to be pretty used, with the paint pealing off the wall in the shower also.

Good place for a short trip. Walk right out to the beach. The bathroom was tiny especially the shower which is why I say good for a short trip. It seemed clean but I always clean our room when we get there that’s just how I am I’m ocd like that but I would recommend to anyone. Also great price and walking distance to several places to eat and ice cream!

We knew what to expect from this older motel. The location was great. The people were helpful. We had plenty of room. The pool was nice and cool on a hot day. Perhaps I am too particular about my bed, but I could not get comfortable. It hurt my back. We did not have a pet, but this is one of the few places that allow pets.

I’ve stayed here every year for a while now.. I love the people, the location… I love that it’s not all fixed up. However, the giant holes/dents in the walls could use some patching … there could definitely be some upgrades (pull out couches). But overall, it’s always a peaceful place to stay and I’ve never had anything happen in the years I’ve stayed here.
