Great stay - easy walk to beach
We enjoyed our stay at Terrace by the Sea. Our room was partial-view of ocean. This motel is an easy 5-minute walk to the beach, and close to downtown shops. The breakfast was great with fresh fruit, breads, cereals. We plan to return to this location.

Very convenient spot with a nice view of the river and beach looking out to the ocean- breakfast tables look out on this. Staff was friendly and room was clean with a very comfortable bed. Great water pressure- be careful as the hot water gets very hot in a hurry.

Awesome location. The room was spacious, but there were pieces of muffin on the carpeting and baseboard. We’ll be back. The rest of the room was dated, but comfortable.

Great place shame about the room
The accommodation was very clean, well-maintained, in a superb location and the breakfast good. However the room we had was only slightly better than Harry Potters room under the stairs. There was barely enough room for the double bed and the toilet/shower room was ridiculous. If anyone was slightly overweight it would be difficult for them to fit in the shower. Avoid room 100 at all costs.
