The staff at this property were very friendly and attentive. Lots of sand as you would expect for a beachfront location but they do provide a broom to help keep your room clean. We just had one small issue with an older beach chair but the staff was very friendly and ready to fix the problem. I might suggest cute little door mats to help keep the sand at bay prior to entering the rooms and add a little more of a cozy flair (-:

It was a ok stay at best

We arrived everyone we talked to was friendly. We got to our room and the floor was not clean. It was their first weekend open so it should have been a lot cleaner. Our tv wouldn’t work, we called the front desk the girl came up and told us they couldn’t do anything till the next morning which was convenient. I had to goggle it and fixed it myself then my in laws called and said their tv wasn’t working either. I went down to try to fix theirs, I got our remote and at least got it fixed enough for them. It was a cold weekend so in the early evening we were day in our room to relax. The toilet was not working great and needed a plugger the girl at the front desk made us come down and get it and take it back. Also we had prepaid for one of the rooms and they charge another incidental fee for the whole cost of the two nights. It wasn’t the best experience and beds were not great and the headboard creaked everytime we moved all night would stay again.

It’s basically a motel. It’s cute if you just need a place to sleep. Our room was super small and the bathroom was super tiny. The people running it were very nice. Good access to the beach

Great place to enjoy a quiet getaway

Long drive and weather turned cold. Great to arrive to a warm cozy room and greeted my a very nice desk clerk. It was a smaller place, less crowded with people. I suited what my niece and I wanted, quiet no people

Cute and clean. Great setting on the beach and nice accommodations. Jonathan had lots of recommendations for things to do around the area. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Only drawback is noise from highway if you're a light sleeper.
