Adorable Old School Motel directly on the beach. Classic original architecture with nice upgrades in the rooms. The perfect marriage of original with modern upgrades. Nothing fancy which is not needed when you can come and go on your private beach. Heavenly

Great hotel!
The room was super nice, spacious and clean. Great area, easy check in/out. Nice private beach. Comfortable beds and convenient location. My only issue is since its dog friendly, i think there might have been fleas in our room. We really enjoyed our stay tho and i would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Great place to stay people were nice and responsive when we called down to the office. Room needed updating there was a hole in the ceiling like there was once water damage and the table on the balcony was rusted. No iron or hair dryer or coffee in the rooms which was fine just didn’t plan on it vs a hotel.
