This property surprised me. It was quiet, clean, and updated, along with friendly staff. The shell is obviously an old motel, but the rooms were clean and updated.

Great place amazing staff
We booked Saturday night but decided to come a day early and we were accommodated with the same room for a great price. Property is great and convenient and the lady at breakfast each morning was just the best. Always a smile and a warm good morning, and kept everything clean and full.

This property has all the charm of an older beach hotel and also beautiful renovations. The location is oceanfront, and some rooms have beach access right out their patio doors. It’s great for families— playground, lawn games and a pool. The complimentary breakfast was great. The entire property is spotless! Can’t wait to go back!

Room was very clean. We went in the off-season, we were on the first floor with a small patio looking at the dune. The pavilion to sit and look at the water was very well done. We were put in a room that had a shared door, if you're not staying with the people next to you, it gets very loud and feels like they're standing in your room. At one point they got turned around because they tried to open the door a few times.
