Moonlight Beach Motel

Moonlight Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We LOVED stying here! The staff was super friendly and accommodated our late arrival. Hotel has everything we needed for the beach, and it's a two block walk (location can't be beat) to Moonlight Beach, with gorgeous ocean views from the rooms. The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed."
