Great location and the sunset views are wonderful. The bay side room is right on the water. It’s quiet in the off season and very relaxing. The staff are so friendly and helpful! They make the stay even better! The room is on the small size but everything else made up for that!

Anniversary Visit

Staff was very helpful. Room was clean but renters before us smoked outside and never disposed of their buts. We discussed with cleaning ladies but were still there after the 4th day. We stayed at this location approximately 15 years earlier with no updates. The bed was comfortable and guests were very friendly. The Motel is dog friendly as are a lot of restaurants in the area especially in the off season which attracted us because we have a 10 year old Service Dog which allowed us to bring her to the beach and restaurants. Will go back in the future.
