The cabin itself was nice with view on the water and a little deck area outside to sit. Restaurant staff were very nice, the food was ok. The pizza at the pub was great. The main downside is that there is not much around the motel itself if you just want to go for a walk

Nice small room with 2 double beds. Would have more room with one queen as it was tight. The restaurant was convenient but pricey for quality of food. Loved having an ocean front view. Super busy location but staff handled it well.

The cupboard above the stove in cabin 13 is falling down and needs attention. There's not enough comfortable seating in the living room for 4 people; there is room for at least one more comfortable chair other than the kitchen table chairs.
