Great over night stop
On road trip down south so wanted good place to stop to sleep and break the journey. This was a great choice and right on the beach.
The owners were just delightful and made us welcome on every way.
Some good eating spots close by. Definitely one to recommend and return back too.

Lovely Stop-Over
We had an amazing stay here. It was just a quick stopover, but we will definitely be back! It's such a perfect spot—a beautiful path along the water, close to everything, and so much more to explore than we originally thought, thanks to the owners' recommendations!

We stayed in room 6 and had a beautiful, uninterrupted sea view. There is no road between the motel and the sea, which made the location even better.
