I have stayed at the Bay Inn many times and it has always been a reasonably priced motel that is very clean, safe, and convenient. The owner/manager lives on-site, and they are very helpful.

This is the second time we've stayed at the Bay Inn and we will be back. The rooms/amenities are minimal, but clean and affordable, and it's right across Ocean View from the beach. It's a great spot to relax. Plus the owners are very friendly! The only (minor) issue was a slight chemical smell in the room.
