The bed and pillows were great. It is very clean and freshly painted. The common area with fire pits and chairs was near immaculate with plenty of split firewood available. It is a quiet and pretty private little walk to a private beach. You need water shoes to walk out in the bay but it is very clean. Not a lot of shampoo and soap but you can ask for more. There is a number by the microwave you can text if you want anything. There is no vending or ice machine but the little refrigerator works great and is very clean. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Over all the stay was good! Cute little place! Love that they had a firepit, and bbq grill.The private beach was cute, but due to the amount of rocks at the shore line and in the water we were only able to dip our feet, not swim there, only real issue we had while there, was the toilet( when we first got there we noticed old water damage around the toilet area, no biggie) toilet seemed to still be working fine.On the morning day of check out the toilet just stopped working...walked down to office they were closed called the number on door a few times. No luck! So we just left...but honestly other then the toilet issues everything else was nice! Very peaceful!

No hot water.

After running the warm shower for 2 min it turned ice cold and never recouped to hot the next day. There were 4 spiders in the shower with me. The bed was very comfortable. To my wife’s dismay, there wasn’t a hair dryer and no receipt for the stay.

Nice motel with good scenery and good coffee in the office in the morning if somebody is there. The in room coffee was standard hotel issue. Heat didn't work at first but the desk person reset it and then it was OK. Large outdoor firepit with chairs and I think they had wood. Peaceful and quiet.
