Great spot, love that the rooms are just apartments with a kitchen, friendly staff and killer location. You”ll want the parking spot if it’s the weekend, street parking in the area is a nightmare, even on cloudy days.

Comfortable and well located motel
Very comfortable 60’s style motel with large rooms - small apartments really - located a little more than a block from the bustling village. Tranquil location, accommodating manager and easy on-street parking. I would definitely stay here sgain

Beautiful location and excellent staff
We had an excellent stay here! Our flight was delayed and the staff was very helpful when we got in late. We used the phone number posted by the gate and were able to talk with staff who led us through how to get access to our room.
The room was beautiful and well kept. We were offered beach towels the next day and they even had some beach supplies we could borrow!
The pool was clean and heated to the perfect temperature.
The hotel was quiet and serene after 8 which made for perfect rest and relaxation. We look forward to staying here again!

Clean, comfortable, walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Beautiful area. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the bed was too soft for me. Otherwise it was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

70s throwback
I always love this place. It’s like stepping back to a 70s apartment with a salt water pool and everything just a short walking distance away.
