Honestly! Outdated, dirty, smelly damp and musky!

Room was damp and musky. There was a loud window air conditioner. Insects: Earwigs and Centipedes in the room. Had to scoop a few up and flush down the toilet. We stayed in room 22. Every evening we came back to our room it was a terrible struggle to find parking. The walls were thin so you could hear your neighbour's conversations as if they were in your room. Only nice thing I can say is location was within walking distance to the beach.

the Inn needs to be updated.The bed and seating were old and uncomfortable. The lighting was terrible. There were no outlets to plug in electronics, etc. The room came with a balcony. We had to share the balcony with neighbors. The balcony furniture required padding, the padding was missing.

The room we stayed in was very nice and a good size too. The receptionists were friendly and helpful. However, the one thing you want when you go away is a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. Don't stay here if you want that -- the bed in our room was awful, and I suspect the other rooms are probably similar. The mattress was lumpy, super soft, and all worn out, something that should have been replaced 5-10 years ago. I asked the manager to contact me, and I left the message with two separate receptionists, who said the manager would call me. Guess what? He never did. I even said what it was about, but he never called me. I would have stayed here again if they were going to update the bed, but since I doubt they will, I won't stay again. I recommend that if you book this place, you are doing so at your own risk.

Nice quiet beachside hideaway.

From the time we check in the staff was awesome! Friendly and helpful. Having easy parking in close proximity to the beaches was a great perk and the pool was perfect for familys and adults with the added perk of a hottub. Bed was softer then I like but for a beach side stay the lighthouse is perfect!

Although this property was very clean, I just wanted to point out some things. After checking into the hotel, we were instructed to pull around to the other side of the property where there was a private lot. This lot BARELY fit 3 cars, never mind multiple SUV/trucks. My main complaints may not be a big deal to some but when you’re paying over $285/night, little details mean everything. The over all first look, it seemed amazing. After a few days you start to notice things like the hot water out of the sink takes a good 5 minutes to warm up.There was patio furniture to sit on but no cushions. There was a price sticker on a curtain rod that was plain as day, curtains were on a rod that should’ve been smaller because you had to fight to get the curtains open and closed. There was about a 2 ft section right when you step into the door where the floor underneath the carpet was so soft, it felt like you were going to fall through the floor. The cable went out at around 11 pm the night before our last night there. We totally forgot until we came back from our day out the next day so we alerted the front desk. I was told a couple times by two different people that if I had brought it to their attention sooner, the problem might have been fixed. Shame on me for not making a stink about the cable at 11 pm. I absolutely love this area, and the staff was very friendly. Like I said before, it is very clean. If you’re looking for attention to details, this is not the right place for you.

Both location and staff at Lighthouse made this little getaway special for my husband and I. Located right in between short sands and long sands and walkable to both, the room was large, clean, and had an ocean view. Excellent communication with the staff who had our room ready early for us. :) We definitely recommend!
