A very nice motel located on the beach. Needs a few updates but the staff are super helpful and friendly. Has a nice cafe in the back where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Location salvation

Location cannot be beat. Great restaurant and beach access make this a winner, but don't come looking for fine finishes or furnishings.

They let me check in early! The beach access is fantastic. The cafe was convenient and pleasant. The property is a bit old and the room small but everything was clean, the air-conditioning cold and bed comfy.
