David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Compared to other choices in the area, I thought we ended with the best deal. We booked the ocean view king room, which is very spacious with sitting area and the view of the water is right there. Nice updated bathroom and a balcony overlooking the water too. Freshly painted inside and out - well kept grounds, loved sitting under one of several tiki umbrellas to enjoy that view and watch the boats. wished we were staying longer - but next time we will.

1-night trip

6/10 Okay

No parking and a little derty
Niurka, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The motel is quite old and run down. The king suite with walk out to the beach; isn’t really a walk out to the beach at all - instead you are facing the boat ramp. The futon is so uncomfortable that it shouldn’t be considered an option for an extra place to sleep. My kids couldn’t sleep all night which was also due to the neighboring room being very loud late into the night.
Tanya, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Wouldn't do it again
Cathy, 1-night trip

The boat dock is a little rough to enter and exit especially on low tide.

Awesome spot! Beautiful location!

Wonderful ocean front spot! Clean, comfortable bed and linens, great balcony and view, friendly staff! Loved the paddle boards and heated pool. Grounds have hammocks, games and loungers on the beach. Incredible sunrise and sunset, good location and easy to access. Can’t wait to stay again!
Sarah, 1-night trip

Air conditioner was inadequate. Probably why they had box fans in the rooms.
