Nice quiet area, over the road to a boardwalk along an extensive beautiful beach and bay. Our 2 bedroom Unit was spacey, clean, had all the extras, great kitchen even plunger coffee. And the best part was the privacy of the Unit.

The facilities are fantastic for a motel. It was extremely clean, well maintained and very homely. We loved it. Great place to stay if you're doing the first light marathon in the future as it's close to the start line, and very close to the beach ( about a 1 min walk) .

This motel was fine - the parking is a bit tight and one night when we were coming home after dinner our ‘space’ was taken so we parked in front of another unit and I felt a bit awkward doing that in case they weren’t back themselves yet.
