"Great place to stay for a quick overnight! Staff was friendly and helpful, the room was surprisingly clean and well kept but the parking lot was not. The parking area was dimly lit and dirty. There appeared to be multiple people living in vehicles in the parking lot and they watched people entering and exiting the motel."

Cozy Ocean Front Retreat with Private Beach!

Cozy Ocean Front Retreat with Private Beach!

8/10 Good
"The house is situated right on the beach and at high tide it’s literally almost in the water. Views from the deck, living room and primary bedroom upstairs are beautiful! Sunrise spectacular here. You can see the little island off the Silver Sands beach(very close)… at low tide a walkway forms all the way out to this island. The house is clean and nicely decorated. The main bedroom with king bed is lovely with a gorgeous view. Other rooms are smaller but comfortable. Shared full bath upstairs as well as laundry closet with washer and dryer. Negatives… minor but should mention. The house is right next to other homes and it’s a bit awkward to access. Two houses share the narrow driveway. Felt a little crowded. Windows (with the view) needed cleaning. Blinds on downstairs sliders didn’t operate effectively and the view was partially blocked. The host was quick to respond and very accommodating and flexible. It was a nice girls weekend get away with my friends."

"The room was very comfortable, and check in was smooth. I would caution families with small children from staying here, because of many of the signs decorating the interior are inappropriate (mild profanity, toilet humor). But the amenities were great, and the temperature was good, even though it's a basement unit."
