This property is exactly what I expect from a beachside motel. It wasn’t expensive, but close to everything we needed. I wish there was a chain lock on the door for added security.

I recently stayed at this motel. The customer service was excellent, and the beds were very comfortable. However, the property could use some updates. I noticed rust in the public bathroom, and the outside flooring needs to be replaced or upgraded. The carpet in the room also had an odor and looked worn, so I recommend changing it. It would also be nice if the motel offered a dining area for breakfast. Overall, the staff were wonderful, but the facilities could use improvement to make the stay even better.

Beach front property was super convenient, made beach trips easy and stress free, as well as parking on property was sooo convenient. The pool was super relaxing! Most of staff were very welcoming, housekeeping came daily and kept place very tidy. (ty casandra) But maintenance of the building is very outdated, things are old, falling apart, or didn’t work at all. (our lamps didn’t work, towel rack fell out of the wall, tv/wifi didn’t always work) On top of that other tenants were constantly smoking cigarettes everywhere in the building (places it “wasn’t allowed”) so there was a constant smell and butts/ash everywhere. but other than that the place is relatively worth the price. Had a good time.
