We stayed for 5 days in one of the apartments. It was quiet and close to the beach. The beach was not crowded and water was clam. The room wasn’t the cleanest so we bought some cleaning supplies and a broom. And if you need cooking supplies you have to go to the office and get them.

Property location was perfect, beach access right outside of motel. This bayside beach is not busy and low rise tides so perfect if you don’t want to be around a huge crowd. The front desk staff was so kind. I was able to text the front desk while still being on the beach asking them to bring towels to the room which was so convenient. The motel also offers free breakfast ( cereal, toast, baked goods, coffee, waffles, etc ) which is very nice not spending money on going out to breakfast every day. The room itself was dirty, when we arrived the carpet was dirty with crumbs and sand all over & carpet was pulled up in areas. The desk & chair in the room had crumbs all over. The bed itself was clean though, checked thoroughly for bed bugs and none to be found. Every time we used the shower ( yes the fan was on ) the fire alarm went off which was a bit concerning. Overall the location is perfect the stay would have been better if room was throughly cleaned.
