Every restaurant table offers ocean views

Separate seating areas available in select rooms

Cons

Seasonal pool availability only

46.5 miles distance from nearest major airport

“Close to the beach and some restaurants, this unassuming motel offers clean, if somewhat dated, rooms-some with sea views and outdoor seating; a retro bar and grill serves surprisingly good food, while an adjacent store is convenient for necessities. I found the friendly service and quiet atmosphere appealing, especially considering the reasonable rates. It's a solid option for travelers seeking a no-frills stay.”
