With a solid 3.8-star rating, it strikes a balance between affordability and a cozy beachside atmosphere. Guests often praise the motel for its exceptionally clean rooms and quiet surroundings, a notable feat given its proximity to the bustling boardwalk and local attractions.
The motel’s vintage cabin vibe resonates deeply with those who appreciate a nostalgic touch. Rooms come equipped with essential amenities such as a fridge, microwave, TV, and free Wi-Fi, making it an ideal choice for families or solo travelers who value functionality over luxury.

The motel’s location is another strong point, just steps away from the sandy shore, local businesses, and easy access to sightseeing and recreational activities.

Great price has 3 beds this is an old rustic cabin must appreciate the older feel of the place to actually enjoy it. But liked the place I will be back. Also has a tiny kitchen. It's own separate bedroom with a Queen size bed full size bed and a twin in the other Room..
I love the nice warm beach cabins... the rooms in the motel are very nice also very good atmosphere... easy walk to the beach nice BBQ Pit and very nice flowers... Owner is very nice and willing to help if you need anything... great place to stay for the whole family especially if you're looking for that beach feeling
This is a motel, and for a motel I give it 5 stars. For location I give it 5 stars however it appears that there are only 4 rooms for rent. The rest of property is some other kind of residence. It’s a bit dated and the rest of the property is a little ruff. So I have to take the rating to a 4 star. I must admit the room was VERY clean. If you are the least bit picky or spoiled, this is not the place for you.
Very clean, room was surprisingly quiet with no outside noise. One block from main businesses. Right next to the main road to the board walk and beach.
This place has excellent service. They were willing to check out the rooms at call and got back to us and a quick notice. Everything is in order and very clean. Owners are also very nice hey it's also just a walk away from the beach.
This is a great location to stay, we paid 130$ for 1 room 1 bed 1 night and the hostess was very warm and welcoming. Had coffee ready to go in the morning and a small selection of prepackaged pastries. I turned in my keys to the lock box forgetting a few things in my room and she was very helpful in getting it back.
My daughter and I love this little motel. It's very reasonable if you are just looking for a bed, bathroom, fridge, microwave and TV. Nothing special and not fancy. We love the owner she is so sweet.
