"The Hotel was cute and clean. Great place to stay and lots of walkable places. The beach was lovely. My only suggestion is they add water. There are coffee makers in the room but water is not available (for free or to purchase)."

I grew up visiting this beach in the summers and staying in this motel when I was a little girl myself, because it was one of my grandmothers favorite places to stay and now I get to share the same experience with my daughter!
