Great stay

A very nice motel located on the beach. Needs a few updates but the staff are super helpful and friendly. Has a nice cafe in the back where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also has a nice bar. Met the owners who are great folks and are working to upgrade the property. Will stay here again when we return.

Location salvation

Location cannot be beat. Great restaurant and beach access make this a winner, but don't come looking for fine finishes or furnishings.
