The beach was visible from the corner of the hotel parking lot and it was a four minute walk to the sand! Very clean parking lot and rooms, I appreciated the fridge and the amount of wall outlets was great. The AC worked perfectly and the bed was comfy. Although we didn’t travel with a pet, I did appreciate the motel being pet friendly!
