We stayed in room 127
It was the perfect size for 2 people. Had a kitchen which geat for cooking small meals. Already planning our trip for next year there.
Love the view of the ocean from our room! It is very quiet and peaceful there. The staff is very helpful and the rooms are always nice and clean. Parking is easy.
Only complaint lights in bathroom took up to 5 minutes to come on at times.
Very quaint,
beautiful view, plenty of parking acceptable amenities.

The best thing about this property were the views. We were in a corner room and had a view straight out to the ocean and down the length of the beach. The down side is the property and rooms were in mediocre condition and some aspects very outdated. That said, the bed was newer and comfortable as well as the couch.
This is a place to stay if you don’t care about ambience. The front desk staff were great. The room itself was nothing special, but it was clean so that’s good. But the furniture and the bed and the fireplace seemed like they had been around a very long time as they were very worn. But good location. Although you were up on a cliff so not super easy beach access, especially if you have bad knees and the only way there is down a steep hill so you have to drive into town to find beach access that’s more accessible.
We absolutely loved the view and beach access! We had some room confusion, but the staff and manager were very helpful to get it cleared up. We also enjoyed the DVD rental options and the space!
Just a perfect room with kitchen ocean view looks like your just sitting on a boat in the ocean when you sit on a chair and look out the window we just love it! Not a fancy room just a comfortable clean room love staying here. Five stars for us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We will be back 🥰❤️

Oceanfront view was gorgeous. Staff was helpful and it was clean. They are dog friendly which is nice. However one room smelled heavily like someone smoked in there for years and the shower drain was clogged. The other room had two fans, no AC and the tiniest windows which let no cool air in. This made it terrible and uncomfortable to sleep. Know before you book there is no AC in the rooms. Won’t be back.
