Nice hotel with beautiful views. Although the interior I feel can be updated, parking and beach access is great.

This hotel was very good and a great location on the beach. We had an ocean front t view. We traveled there for a kite festival down the road a bit. I flew my own kites on the hotel’s beach. We ate our lunch in the outside patio area, which was nice. A good variety of restaurants and stores o the main strip. Parking at the hotel was good. I’m sure since it’s the off-season (October) - helped. The only drawback of this hotel is the fact that they don’t have an elevator…. We were on the third floor carrying suitcases and more up all those flights..

The hotel was in a great location. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was unfortunately on the 1st floor so we didn’t have a view of the ocean because the dunes are so high. That was the only downside.

We love this hotel! The staff is incredibly helpful, kind, and accommodating. We had booked two separate reservations due to extending our trip last minute and even though we had to check out and check back in, they made the process as easy as possible. Great views, clean, nice amenities and so reasonably priced for being right on the beach. Highly recommend!

Thank you for another great stay!!!

Right on a beautiful beach. This is a traditional style beach hotel, comfortable and homey. Definitely choose the ocean view balcony...wonderful to go to sleep to the sound of the waves. Beach badges, chairs, and umbrellas were provided. A big plus! We will definitely stay there again.
