Hidden gem

We love it here and have stayed several years in a row. The views can't be beat and the large patio area on the beach is amazing. The only downside this time was some loud neighbors and the bedding could use an update.

relaxing vacation

It was perfect! The motel is clean, and very comfortable. The owners have made it a home away from home. They are super hosts. You can go to the beach right from the beautiful deck and garden in the back. It is so quiet and friendly. Easy access to multiple trails for hiking, and golf if you would prefer. The sunsets are breath taking from your own balcony or sitting on the large deck, which they provide, lawn chairs, and tables. Great place to relax and enjoy your holiday.

SANDEEP, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this property. The large beachside patio was amazing for watching the changing tides. It is well situated for visiting local sights. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It is obvious that the owners maintain a high standard of cleanliness and care for their property. My only suggestion is a hand held shower!
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was spacious with a gorgeous view onto garden and the ocean. Bed said queen but it was only a double and soooo hard. Comfy bed is a must and it just didn’t deliver on that one. Reasonable price and great location. I can live with the tired decor but please upgrade the bed!
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was immaculate. Not a hair, not a speck of dust. Just amazing. Beautiful bedding. Stunning views. Cpmpletely quiet at night. Parking at the back was pretty tight but doable. Def will stay there again.

Nice small hotel with kitchen. No air conditioning however so warm and hot weather can be tough. Bathroom Amenities. we stay for 3 night. shampoo in little packets that barely washes 1/2 of short cut hair. reception not open all time so tough to get more if you come back to hotel at night.
