10/10 Excellent

Just a boardwalk away from the ocean! The rooms were better than we expected. Very family oriented with a little hangout and yard game section! 10/10 would recommend this place to stay and we will be back!
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent location. Property owner/manager was fantastic and so welcoming! Would stay here again. Private boardwalk to the beach, free guest bikes, sitting areas, recreation/picnic/bb
Latrisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Beacon hotel is, for the buck, the best hotel on the beach. Clean, easy access to a beautiful beach. Check in was quick, Manager, Mrs. Christina, is very friendly and knows the area well. We will return.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was great and friendly. Anything we needed, it was supplied - from sunscreen to extra towels. Very quiet & private.
Rita, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Older property but remodeled interior. We were specifically looking for the retro vibe and this property fit the bill. Short boardwalk to the uncrowded beach which was great as well.
CHRIS, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was top-notch! Theres just a couple minute walk up the boardwalk to get your toes in the sand. We also utilized the large grill in the courtyard which was very convenient. If it wasn’t so hot, we would have utilized the courtyard more because it’s super cute!! Our room wasn’t one of the upgraded renovated rooms, which was fine - there is certainly some wear and tear, as this is an older motel however, it was perfect for a focus of spending time on the beach. The location is also great as there is a Dollar General and a couple restaurants across the street you can walk to. We will definitely stay here again!
Brittney, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel staff super friendly. Great set up with games and grill for everyone. Loved the complimentary beach chairs, bikes and umbrellas. Having its own lit private walkway to the beach was a plus. Great location just 12 min from restaurants and stores. Will definitely go back!
Katrina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wow really convenient, newly remodeled, and has a nice path right to a private part of the beach!
Untez, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved staying at the beacon, it was super nice and the boardwalk to the beach and games on the patio were lovely
Fiona, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The service was truly excellent — warm, welcoming, and personal. Christina, the owner, was absolutely lovely. She spoke to us like old friends, and her kindness really made our experience special. The room was clean and cozy, and overall we felt very comfortable during our stay. The only small suggestions we have would be to add a few more hooks in the bathroom for towels or clothes, a small table or shelf for toiletries, and maybe a couple more wall outlets for convenience. Otherwise, everything was perfect. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others!
Amber, 3-night trip

The room smelt moldy the people were completely unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Daryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Christina was so personable and kind, and warm! She made sure i was taken care of! As a woman travelling alone, i would reccomend the beacon. It had a family atmosphere and its a cozy, quiet spot. It was safe, clean and lovely. I loved the decor of my room! Only possible improvement would be a microwave. The location offers a boardwalk on property tbat leads difectly to the ocean!! Its a lovely place with lovely people. And the beach is quiet and uncrowded!! Will be staying here again for my beach vacations. Loved it! Thank you so much for making my stay comfortable, kind and relaxing!!
Rochelle, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Best place to stay I would love to stay again when I come back
Kelvin, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Canceled our room an hour after check in because the “AC” wasn’t working in the room I booked after calling them at 3 to see if I could do early check in. So I guess they didn’t know and hour or so before that the AC wasn’t working. Said they were going to help us find somewhere else to stay and said “do you hear the wind, I’m driving. I in fact heard no wind. Then they proceeded to block my phone number. Worst customer service I have ever received. Will never consider staying here and will never recommend this place to anyone.
Eduardo, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, small simple hotel, very clean and has everything you need to enjoy the beach, which is of course why you are there.
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My honest review

We had the most incredible time at this cozy beach spot! The place has direct beach access, making it so easy to enjoy the sand and waves. The location offers the perfect view to catch both sunrise and sunset – truly breathtaking. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic gas grill for cooking, and everything we needed was readily available. A huge shoutout to Christina, who was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her kindness and attentiveness made our stay so much more enjoyable, and she truly made the experience 10x better. This wasn’t our first time staying here, and it definitely won’t be the last. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else – this place is a gem! 5 stars all around!
