7.8/10 Good! (875 reviews)
"Rooms were comfortable. We had one king bed. Having a dehumidifier in the room was good after the really bad storm where everything we had on the beach got drenched. I didn't like the kiosk check in and check out, but it worked fine. Very convenient area for the event I attended at the pier."

I grew up visiting this beach in the summers and staying in this motel when I was a little girl myself, because it was one of my grandmothers favorite places to stay and now I get to share the same experience with my daughter!
