The room was great. Super clean and modern. It was walking distance to almost everything. The staff was really nice and helpful. The little beach was really nice. Our only drawback was the loud music at the bar area. And, it went until late at night. We didnt realize it was going to be that way. But, other than that, the place was is great!

I love that it’s right on the ocean and it has a really cool beach bar and you can order food from the beach bar. I did have trouble with my door lock and after letting them know that my door wasn’t locking they said they would have someone come fix it, but they never did. I finally got it to close after several attempts but overall a very nice experience.

Property was easy to find. Parking was limited and crowded. Loud outdoor bar too large for property. Limited beach space, port-o-lets on walk way to beach. No outdoor shower, instead a garden hose in muddy area. This motel is overrated for the price.

Great recently renovated room & bathroom, right on the sandy beach with a beach bar & food. The motel is well maintained. Bring chairs for the deck outside rooms as well as your beach items. We brought a portable grill which we used for dinners, which worked well along with the fridge already in the room. There is a limitation on available electricity - so no coffee maker or hair dryers in rooms. I believe suites have coffee makers & fridges. Not sure about microwaves. We will stay there again. Rooms & suites are up1 or 2 flights of stairs.
