Clean and comfortable with plenty of room to move. Nice basic kitchen suited us well. Only a short stay but could have stayed longer. Very close to the waterfront and shopping not too far. Did not try the outdoor facilities but looked OK.

We were a block from the beach. Nice to walk early in the day. Our room was well equipped. For light cooking. Staff were very accomodating. A.c. in the bedroom kept it cool for sleeping. Living area was huge ith windows offvthe ocean to catch a breeze early or late in the evening. Bonus to watchbthe new years eve fireworks from our front door.

Small yard at the rear of your room with a clothes line, the motel has laundry facilities, you can use the bbq, the unit itself has everything you need. One problem is the small bar fridge, I had food to freeze to take home but was unable to freeze the food.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Memorable for the wrong reasons.
The owner, Aneeta sent me a very abrupt message declining allowing a slightly later checkout despite our very late arrival and request that I could have a run and shower and not be out by 10am. When I phoned to check weather I needed to make late arrival arrangements, she doubled down by telling me to get up earlier! The hotel is adequate but nothing special and the beaches are much nicer the other side of the peninsula.
