The rooms were so cute and homey. The bathroom was clean and the tubs looked brand new. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I regret only staying for one night in the area. I could have easily spent the whole week there. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Great place to stay and was in just the right location for me. The beach access was the icing on the cake. Would also like to mention the neat little cottages or motel style rooms were really cheerfull with their yellow trim. And finally I have to bring up the fact there was a actual shower curtain liner in the shower. I could not tell you when the last time I seen one of them actually being used. The place I'm at now doesn't.

We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Motel! From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel welcome and appreciated. Their friendly hospitality and willingness to help with anything we needed truly made our visit special. The motel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was clear that the owners take great pride in their property and genuinely care about their guests' experience. We especially appreciated the warm, small-town atmosphere and the personal touch that you don't always find when traveling. Whether you're staying for a night or an extended visit, Sunshine Motel is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay with exceptional customer service. Thank you to the owners for making our stay so enjoyable. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend Sunshine Motel to anyone visiting the area!
