10/10 Excellent

My two teenaged sons and I had a perfect stay at this little motel. The room was clean and the views were gorgeous. The staff was helpful with great suggestions for activities and supplied boogie boards which we all loved. Great location within steps of restaurants, shopping and delicious ice cream. We will Definitely stay here again!
