There was no blackout curtains you could not hear the ocean waves like they said the property was not on the actual beach they said it was and you could not find a barbecue pit to barbecue like they said they did the room floors wear filthy I had brand new pair of white socks on by the time I hit the bed my socks were black there was no dresser doors to put ur clothes in The only thing I like about the room was the refrigerator and the microwave. I will never rent there ever again.

The room was dirty and definitely needs paint. Baseboards, doors, shower all super dirty. Would never stay there again. Way over priced and $50 dog fee. Would not recommend this motel. Also the keys cards were demagnetized after 1 day.

Very nice place to stay

I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.

It’s cute for what it is. The receptionist was super friendly. The shower looks like it needs some update or a super clean. The toilet paper roll was almost out when we first entered and there isn’t a spare under the sink.

March get away

We have been staying here for 5 yrs now , the owners are friendly. I love the location, the rooms are clean, great parking. The only thing that needs attention is the towels, they are not white, they are old and grey looking, come on owners replace them. I started bringing my own towels from home. Maybe get new pillows they are flat and you only get 3.
