Compared to other choices in the area, I thought we ended with the best deal. We booked the ocean view king room, which is very spacious with sitting area and the view of the water is right there. Nice updated bathroom and a balcony overlooking the water too. Freshly painted inside and out - well kept grounds, loved sitting under one of several tiki umbrellas to enjoy that view and watch the boats. wished we were staying longer - but next time we will.

The motel is quite old and run down. The king suite with walk out to the beach; isn’t really a walk out to the beach at all - instead you are facing the boat ramp. The futon is so uncomfortable that it shouldn’t be considered an option for an extra place to sleep. My kids couldn’t sleep all night which was also due to the neighboring room being very loud late into the night.
