A wonderful place to stay with a lovely pool and stunning view. Just across from the beach.
The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfy and the motel was right opposite the beach. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We just found that the upstairs room above us was noisy but everything else was great and had lovely weather too.
Very clean, great location, and quiet. Dave was amazing and very helpful. Kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed the hot tub each evening. Free laundry was great but the eco dryer required a lot of patience. Dave was very up front about it so we were prepared for the wait.
