Great location, clean rooms, and staff are always friendly & helpful. Added bonus is how pet-friendly it is and yet it is also quiet. Always enjoy staying here, whether in one of the motel rooms or in a cottage, and will definitely be back again.

The room we had was spotless! Love it. It was very “quaint”. I’ll be heading back in 3 weeks with other family, and will definitely be staying there again! The staff was friendly as well as the other guests there. It was very relaxing which was exactly what we were looking for. Would recommend this property to everyone!!

Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.

Nice clean room only complaint was shower very small and no weights on shower curtain so water got on bathroom floor. Sink was cute looking but not deep enough to put your hands under faucet to wash hands. Maybe some kind of shelves to but toiletries on.
