The room and bathroom were so adorable and very clean! I oftentimes have anxiety about staying somewhere out of fear it will not be clean, but this place exceeded my expectations. It had a cute and functional coffee machine which was so nice. I am for sure coming back one day!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
If your looking for a comfortable bed and fairly clean but updated room this is the place for you. Otherwise, floors were dirty (sandy) and housekeeping left a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. (Gross) Pool didn't even have water in it so was not open even though website and Expedia says it is. I would be hard pressed to stay here again.

Fantastic, nostalgic motel style property just a hop, skip, or jump from the beach and beautiful sunset views. Recently remodeled, with a very slick retro look & feel. Super clean, very responsive staff, simple self check-in/out process - all with a very reasonable rate. Can't speak highly enough. For those like me who dont want to pay for a bunch of extras I never want, need, or use, this place is for you.

We had a great stay at Sun and Sand Resort. The proximity of the beach was great. It was just far enough away from town to be quiet, yet close enough to drive into town to walk around. We would stay here again.
