Property is a bit tired, but was clean and had a comfy bed. The water pressure in the shower was terrible and parking was tight. If someone parked in the wrong place or out a bit too far you couldn't get past.

Great little motel!

Really friendly and helpful staff, unit was super clean, beds were comfortable. The little pool was great for our kids to blow off some steam after a long travel day. We were able to walk a short distance to get dinner, and it's just a little longer of a walk to get to the beach and an incredible playground. Highly recommend!
