Such a great little motel, very clean, beautiful views, and a short walk to a very private beach with a beautiful sunset. Staff was so friendly, parking was right outside of your room. Great area, local peaches everywhere. The clearest water outside of the Caribbean I’ve ever seen. Very close to cutest little downtown area with shopping, coffee, and everything in between. Short 20 min drive to torch lake( totally recommend) and so much else to do!

Nice hotel right on main Hwy 31. Clean and comfortable. Easy check in. Only complaint is that wireless was very poor. Internet service was too slow for any video content. TV connection was also slow.

The room was clean and comfortable. It looks just as described. Staff friendly. I think it was very affordable and close to everything we wanted to see. It is a real gem. My only issue was the beach access- we only seen a private entrance to it but we didn’t ask if we were allowed to use it. I would definitely stay again!
