"Location was perfect. Walking down to the beach every morning and having coffee on the pier was exactly what I was looking for. Place was stocked with everything you need for the beach, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, frisbee. Only thing I missed was a bbq. There is a big deck downstairs but no bbq. Minor thing, really, but missed it. Great view for the sunset, dipping behind Catalina Island. Well stocked with towels, and everything you need in the kitchen. Thank you."

"This little motel is a classic SoCal coastal family owned spot. It has a quaint feel to it, but not an outdated feel. Jenny and Kate were super helpful and friendly, and they both went above and beyond to ensure that our check in went smoothly. The only thing to be aware of is that the mattresses are on the firm side. It’s not a knock on them, because that’s my preference, but it may not be the good for others."
