Been a long time since we stayed in a motel and was a bit hesitant, but happily we enjoyed this little well run place. The room was very clean, beds comfortable and true to pictures. Communication from the motel was excellent and check in was a breeze. Oceanfront room on second floor with beautiful view.

Every year I come and stay at the Beachside. The hotel is older - no elevator, some rooms do not have a microwave - I don’t mind. This hotel has got charm and the location is incredible! The rooms are always clean, the grounds are well taken care of and the staff are friendly and helpful. I cannot wait until my next visit!

Everything worked out fine. The beach was within a short walk and could be seen if you sit on the walkway/balcony. Just remember, the older retro motels may not have elevators if you have knee or back problems.Check in was very pleasant with a sweet young lady making sure everything was explained in a friendly manner. We will stay here again.
