Great last minute find!

Great place to stay! Easy boardwalk walk to beach. Lots of fun extras like cornhole, ping pong, bikes, and comfy seating. Owner even has towels, umbrellas, toys, sunscreen, and chairs you can borrow for beach. Very friendly environment.

Older property but remodeled interior. We were specifically looking for the retro vibe and this property fit the bill. Short boardwalk to the uncrowded beach which was great as well.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The service was truly excellent — warm, welcoming, and personal. Christina, the owner, was absolutely lovely. She spoke to us like old friends, and her kindness really made our experience special. The room was clean and cozy, and overall we felt very comfortable during our stay. The only small suggestions we have would be to add a few more hooks in the bathroom for towels or clothes, a small table or shelf for toiletries, and maybe a couple more wall outlets for convenience. Otherwise, everything was perfect. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others!

We did not get to stay as they did not have a room for us and called the morning we started traveling to tell us. The person on the phone was very rude and unhelpful.

Canceled our room an hour after check in because the “AC” wasn’t working in the room I booked after calling them at 3 to see if I could do early check in. So I guess they didn’t know and hour or so before that the AC wasn’t working. Said they were going to help us find somewhere else to stay and said “do you hear the wind, I’m driving. I in fact heard no wind. Then they proceeded to block my phone number. Worst customer service I have ever received. Will never consider staying here and will never recommend this place to anyone.
