The property was very basic. An old style motel from years gone past which has been painted well but honestly very basic. Keys to the room came from the 70’s the window latches were loose. The outlook of each room had zero privacy, a walkway in front of your room for all the guests to have a good gawk. At $140 plus per night before GST , these property owners were just cashing in and not giving back. The reception was quite abrupt and matter of fact as they took your money prior to viewing the rooms., sorry but not good and just makes me question the whole Expedia relationship because frankly the pictures of rooms etc were very strategic.

It is an amazing little motel. Really nice owner. Sea view from unit 9 and 10 was excellent. Unit are specious. Easy walking distance to all the shops/restaurants but far enough not to be too busy. Highly recommended. For sure we will be back. Great air conditioning and great water pressure in shower. Have washing machine just out of the unit in a room for you to use

The unit is great and the view is stunning but the lack of any service over 3 nights was disappointing. At over 300 dollars a night the least we should have received fresh towels and rubbish removed at the very least.

Very nice beachfront motel. Our room was clean. It was just across the street from the beach. There wasn't a kitchen or microwave in the room but there was a common kitchen a few doors down. The shower was very nice

Our apartment room 9 was on the very front with views of the water. They allowed us early check in. It was walking distance to main part of town. Separate bedroom and kitchenette. Very neat and tidy
