Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We'll be back!!

The staff is wonderful. The room was the cleanest I've seen when visiting a hotel, Verbo or rental....ever! The motel is a short walking distance to the shore which includes your little private back porch, rocking chairs included. The room is fully supplied with pretty much everything you need, and the motel was very quiet, we had guests next door and around us and barely heard them. Plus, and most importantly, they allow dogs!!

My wife and I loved staying at this property. We had to book a stay here two days before our vacation due to our other place canceling. The staff were very kind and accommodating. The view was beautiful and the room was very clean. We will absolutely be staying here again.
