First off, there's no beachside bar here, regardless of what AI says. But it is close to the beach and Fort Macon. The rooms have full sized fridges and range/ovens. It's cheap, and you can park a car there and it has a bedroom with a door. Don't steal the pillows, don't smoke inside, it'll be great.
