Loved this charming boutique motel! Our oceanfront room was perfect — comfortable bed, great value, and a prime central location. It was the ideal little getaway. We really appreciated the bonus perks: onsite parking, bike hire, and super friendly staff. The daily happy hour from 4–6 was a great touch! Tucked away in a quiet spot, yet close to everything. Highly recommend!

Receptionist was great, what they dont tell you is that if you arrive after 8pm they charge your $50 per hour for waiting for you, too bad if you come in on a plane and its held up i have never been asked to pay for such a thing, Also the building can be hard to find in the dark as it is not very well signposted. complementary breakfast is only for Friday and Saturdays im sure the beachfront rooms are fantastic
