It is an amazing little motel. Really nice owner. Sea view from unit 9 and 10 was excellent. Unit are specious. Easy walking distance to all the shops/restaurants but far enough not to be too busy. Highly recommended. For sure we will be back. Great air conditioning and great water pressure in shower. Have washing machine just out of the unit in a room for you to use

The unit is great and the view is stunning but the lack of any service over 3 nights was disappointing. At over 300 dollars a night the least we should have received fresh towels and rubbish removed at the very least.

Very nice beachfront motel. Our room was clean. It was just across the street from the beach. There wasn't a kitchen or microwave in the room but there was a common kitchen a few doors down. The shower was very nice

Kelly’s travels

Our apartment room 9 was on the very front with views of the water. They allowed us early check in. It was walking distance to main part of town. Separate bedroom and kitchenette. Very neat and tidy
