The Beach Cottages

The Beach Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at The Beach Cottages was everything we'd hoped for! We stayed in one of the rooms with a kitchenette, and Ralph's was a quick walk across the street to stock up on snacks. Our room was on the third floor, which according to what they had said in their information didn't have an ocean view, so we were pleasantly surprised to be able to see a fair bit of the ocean from the balcony. We weren't expecting a view, and the beach was only half a block away, so we weren't concerned about seeing it from our room. This was just an added bonus. The hotel was clean, the staff was very helpful. There are many restaurant near by."

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location! You can walk to everything! Hotel was very clean, pool area very nice, room was updated and had cute beach theme, bed was comfy! Staff very pleasant. Breakfast was good and included, but there’s also a few great places to go within walking distance. We liked our 1 king bed room with a partial ocean view. We enjoyed our stay, will definitely come back! Note: Parking is a separate nightly fee but the hotel has a convenient gated underground parking garage so you don’t need to drive around to find parking. Yes, there are homeless people throughout parts of the beach area/boardwalk, BUT nobody bothered us. If you’re staying Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights-lots more people hanging in the area because a few clubs/bars around the area. You could not hear the noise from our hotel room (oh to be in our 20’s again-haha)."

8/10 Good
"I traveled with my fiance and my friend here in September 2026 and it was an awesome trip. The motel is definitely part to thank for that. The pool was awesome, clean, maintained, good temperature. They even let us stay an extra hour past closing because we asked. After three days, our room got pretty sandy and they changed our sheets and swept the floor per our request. The staff was very accommodating, attentive, and nice. The microwave, fridge, and TV were a great thing for us and we used it a lot. The best part of it all was how close we really were to the beach. It never even felt like a walk. Before I even realized I was walking really, we were at the beach. It was actually amazing. This motel is also placed in a wonderful area, with many shops, dining, bars, and a grocery store a very short walk away. The only two reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there really was zero air conditioning and it was very hot and felt like we were melting. They had three fans in there for you to use but it did not really help. The other reason was because they charged us 6 dollars for parking for each day. I don't really understand that because we were staying at the motel so why would we pay for parking? Other than that, if no AC isn't a deal breaker for you, I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip."
