We were not expecting to not have an ocean front room. The steps up to the room were uncovered and it was very uncomfortable for my wife who had recently had an injection in her knee. We ha e been happy with our room before when we have stayed there but we were very disappointed with our room this time.

It's not fancy, but it's a great location, fantastic beach access, nice staff, and affordable. We loved our time here. The kitchen was great and I loved sitting on the shared back deck/porch. And indoor and outdoor pools. Will definitely return.

This was a old 3 story motel, with a luggage elevator. I loved this place the minute I got in my room. I was right on the beach, it's old in a reto way. I would stay here again. The view from the third floor rooms was breath taking. Stay if you can.
