Disliked: Amenities
We arrived on Thursday evening to find that we were on the 2nd floor and it was not a separate bedroom. There was only 4 tiny soaps and zero shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. There was no coffee, tea, or sugar. When we got back from buying the coffee and other supplies it was dark and there was no lighting on the stairs. I ended up purchasing a flashlight to use going up the stairs. The lighting was finally replaced on Saturday afternoon. I also didn’t realize that the motel is in the middle of a RV park which was a little too close for comfort. The only saving grace was it was quiet at night and the beds were comfortable.

Lovin this place!

We fully enjoy our stay! Across the road from the ocean(water). Enjoyable property and bunnies running around. Room had nice set up like a bachelor suite. Nicely spread out with kitchenette with necessary items for use. Nice sitting area for eating with table and chairs and nice tv viewing area with couch and coffee table. Comfy bed. Nice washroom. And nicely laid out back deck from room. This will be our number one preferred place to stay now! And owner very friendly and reasonable price😁

Very convenient location. Desk person was phenomenal. Didn’t like the room deodorizer. Very over powering and gave us headaches. It was pet friendly and on ground floor for easy access to grass.

pet friendly, clean, AC and appliances worked, shower had hot water, plenty of towels. An older property that has been renovated maybe in the 80s', it has its quirks! If staying in a motel room, remember to bring your own coffee filters, salt and pepper, cutting knives, soap, shampoo, conditioner. lots of wild bunnies! Great location close to the beach.

My partner and I thoroughly enjiyed our stay here. It was a quiet oasis outside of the city! It was about a 20 or more minute drive in to town, it was very scenic. There are great yrails around the area and the food truck outside of the resort was fantastic, as well as the ice cream shop. Will definitely be back in the future!

Cute little cottage that suited our needs for the night. The beds were nothing special but served the purpose. It was clean, convenient, and affordable. Although it was directly on the highway, it was remarkably quiet. Did not visit the restaurant or ice cream shop or coffee trailer nearby but they would've been super convenient too. The whole property looks dated and run down...would suggest an exterior paint job. The pictures online of the "swimming pond" are way out dated as well as it's clearly not functional now. Loved seeing all the little bunnies around the property and saw some peahens and chicks too.

I wanted to share the ebb and flow tides with family that never experienced it before. This site delivered that experience exceptionally. Ice cream and fast food available. We were very pleased with the location. Exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful and quiet with an amazing nature experience
High tide the water was almost to the road
