We absolutely love this place. Does it need a little TLC? Yes, but we love the staff and the vibe, the rabbits and the owner. We come back yearly and it’s always quiet! A hidden diamond in the rough or rough in the diamond ❤️

This is not a high end resort, so my 5 star rating is based on the price point. It had everything I needed and nothing more.

It’s a two star hotel and lived up to its rating. There were some beautiful walking and cycling trails in the area which made the place palatable!

Disliked: Amenities
We arrived on Thursday evening to find that we were on the 2nd floor and it was not a separate bedroom. There was only 4 tiny soaps and zero shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. There was no coffee, tea, or sugar. When we got back from buying the coffee and other supplies it was dark and there was no lighting on the stairs. I ended up purchasing a flashlight to use going up the stairs. The lighting was finally replaced on Saturday afternoon. I also didn’t realize that the motel is in the middle of a RV park which was a little too close for comfort. The only saving grace was it was quiet at night and the beds were comfortable.

Lovin this place!

We fully enjoy our stay! Across the road from the ocean(water). Enjoyable property and bunnies running around. Room had nice set up like a bachelor suite. Nicely spread out with kitchenette with necessary items for use. Nice sitting area for eating with table and chairs and nice tv viewing area with couch and coffee table. Comfy bed. Nice washroom. And nicely laid out back deck from room. This will be our number one preferred place to stay now! And owner very friendly and reasonable price😁
