The room was very comfortable. The only thing I wish we had was the space to hang our clothes and maybe a microwave in the room would’ve been very helpful. Other than that, it was a great experience

Friendly staff, and Very Clean!

Checking in was a breeze no hassle. The guy working the front desk was very Helpful and very Friendly. Our Cottage was very clean. I would say from a scale of 1 to 10 I would give our cottage a 7. The couch and chairs were not comfortable to sit on. Our front door had a big gap. Bug's were getting in. Also our view of the ocean from the chairs had a big plant covering our view.

This is one of the cleanest motels I have ever been in. It was newly remodeled in late 2024 and remains spotless. It is walking distance, with stairs, to the beach with a longer walk to main part of town. The policies of early and late arrival are rigid. We arrived at 3:10 and although our room was ready we would be charged $20 for the 20min. prior to check in. Never have I encountered this before. The locks on the door quit working at 10:58 before the11am check out. I highly advise an upstairs room as the noise from our rude upstairs "neighbors" kept us up two nights. The floor has minimal noise reduction properties. But with all that said it was a nice room, in a beautiful area and I would stay there again.
