It's not fancy, but it's a great location, fantastic beach access, nice staff, and affordable. We loved our time here. The kitchen was great and I loved sitting on the shared back deck/porch. And indoor and outdoor pools. Will definitely return.

This was a old 3 story motel, with a luggage elevator. I loved this place the minute I got in my room. I was right on the beach, it's old in a reto way. I would stay here again. The view from the third floor rooms was breath taking. Stay if you can.

I love how close it is to the beach and how every room has an ocean side. Sometimes you can hear street noise from the main drag in our room, however to be fair there was a car show in the park two blocks away. Really love staying here.

A great little motel on the beach

It was a nice location on the beach. We went for a car show and it was a perfect location. Nothing fancy but solid place to stay for a night or two. Friendly staff!

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It’s very nice. I mean it’s not up to date with all the newest stuff, but everything worked and we were right in the beach. Pool was open all the time and there were 2 pools.
