Great stay

A very nice motel located on the beach. Needs a few updates but the staff are super helpful and friendly. Has a nice cafe in the back where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also has a nice bar. Met the owners who are great folks and are working to upgrade the property. Will stay here again when we return.
