⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love this property! My family and I have stayed here 7 years in a row, and it’s always been wonderful. The rooms are spotless, the staff is so friendly, and you really can’t beat the location—just steps from the beach. It almost feels like a hidden gem that I don’t want to share because it’s that good! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Great place to relax on the sand!

We were there as part of our 50Th anniversary. We stayed in one of the rooms that have a jacuzzi hot tub. We use to bring our kids to Sunset and Huntington Beach and Just wanted a few day to relax next to the beach. This motel has a great location. The owner/manager was so nice and helpful. He notified us when our room was ready, which was a few hours before check-in. Steps to the sand.

The staff was nice and friendly. We walked into the room and the smell was awful we had to buy an air freshener to try and help. I understand it’s by the ocean and things will smell musty but we’ve stayed at properties by the water before and never had a place smell so gross. The shower was small and it leaked in the bathroom so the bathroom was constantly wet and had to use the towels to dry the floor off. It is in a great location close to the beach and free parking is a bonus but it’s old and outdated. Well stay further from the beach next time to be more comfortable.
