It’s basically a motel. It’s cute if you just need a place to sleep. Our room was super small and the bathroom was super tiny. The people running it were very nice. Good access to the beach

Great place to enjoy a quiet getaway

Long drive and weather turned cold. Great to arrive to a warm cozy room and greeted my a very nice desk clerk. It was a smaller place, less crowded with people. I suited what my niece and I wanted, quiet no people
