We stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days and everything was just great. At first we were booked at a room without a kichenette (my mistake, I forgot to call beforehand to inform them that we wanted a room for cooking) but nonetheless, they agreed to transfer us right away on another room which we appreciate a lot. Overall, the place was clean and well maintained, and the owners were very warm and welcoming. 10/10 will definitely book our stay here again next time ❤️

The location is perfect, right at the beach and in the middle of all the food and drinks. It needs some maintenance and the shower was like a sandblaster. The host is very friendly and helpful. Parking on the property is a giant plus, since the town has literally no parking spots left close to 11 am unless you want to walk half an hour to the beach.

The location is excellent and the staff are very friendly. However, the motel is a bit old, and since it’s pet-friendly, that might explain it.

Basic expensive motel

This is a room for dogs. It’s a basic motel that has been cosmeticly fixed up. Because it’s dog friendly the baseboards have been chewed lots. But at 200/night rather expensive

Beach Front with Customer Service

Our room was excellent. Old, but clean and right across from the beach. The staff really set this hotel apart. They were so incredibly accommodating and suggested a different room than we had booked for our needs. They went out of their way to host us for the night as for the size of room we wanted they normally require a 2 night stay! We can’t praise them enough. They are great people with a lovely hotel on the beach. They even let us have late checkout leading up to a long weekend. We can’t recommend them enough. Book!

Jade and Tierney (sorry if I spelled this wrong) were fantastic! They were so friendly, funny, and kind! The lodge was a very convenient location! Right next to the beach and many bars and restaurants! It was clean and spacious. Will definitely return next summer!
