Lovely outlook. Nice clean room with good amenities. Only thing was we would have appreciated a sleep-in but the owner started cleaning the unit next door at 8am and was walking back and forward in front of our sea view room every few minutes. Having said that, her husband was very helpful in giving us a lift to and from the motel with our luggage. Guess she was just being efficient.
