My wife and I loved staying at this property. We had to book a stay here two days before our vacation due to our other place canceling. The staff were very kind and accommodating. The view was beautiful and the room was very clean. We will absolutely be staying here again.

It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Beach was not crowded at all. Left stuff out all day with no worries. Balcony right on the ocean. If you go here bring everything you will need as there are be stores or restaurants close. Loved this vacation!

Very cozy motel. You sit on your balcony looking straight at the ocean, no tricky “side or window views”. It is truly ocean in front of you! Going back in September. Staff was also very cordial and efficient.
