This is a charming motel with so many lovely features. I grill, gas fire pit, beach umbrellas, swings, sooooo cute.
You can walk to to eat and beach is just a quick walk down the path. The beach is in a quiet area.
Love this place

It was cute, quiet, and had everything we needed. My only suggest is to spray for spiders and clean the mirrors in the bathrooms

Great experience. Thank you
Convenient. Great location. Beach access. Clean. Just what I needed for a long weekend getaway. There was a lot of commotion from an arguing couple in an adjoining room for several hours but that’s no fault of the host or a reflection of a typical stay. I plan to return! Thanks “Beacon!”

The Beacon
This was a basic hotel, but I was at the beach. The room was semi upgraded, and there was not any heat. The air conditioning was on very high, and I figured out how to turn it off, which made the room much warmer. I could hear the dogs in the room next door. For being at the beach, this hotel was adequate and very reasonable.

Prices are a little high but the location is great, there is a path straight to the beach. Room #6 was renovated, 2 ACs, very clean and comfortable.
There was no staff for check in or check out but we did not need it during our 1 night stay.

The manager was wonderful and so kind. She was very helpful. This place has been updated inside and out. It has some nice sitting areas and you get private access to the beach. Would stay again especially for the price.

We really enjoyed the beachy/boho vibe. The family hang out area was a cool little spot to just relax at the end of the day. The best thing about this property is the beach access. It's a short walk down the trail and the beach itself was not crowded. It seems the place was recently remodeled, so there were a few things that were outdated or broke in our room or around the common areas, but that may also be on their list to get too. We'll definitely look into this place again for our next visit.

Very cute
The place was renamed to The Beacon so it was a little confusing. But the rooms were clean and looks like they did a few upgrades. They were so close to the beach and the outside area was so cute.

This motel is going through a name change and they just updated all of their appliances. We were assigned to a room which had terrible saging in the floor. Husband requested another room and we were quickly reassigned to a better one.
The picnic area is top notch. Gotta see it to believe it. The boardwalk, proximity to the beach and sunrise/sunsets are amazing, quick and breathtaking.
If I had gotten angry with the condition of the floor and left that night, I would have never known the beauty all around me. So glad we stayed and thank you for being so hospitable. Just a gut feeling, once they work out all of the little repairs - this will easily be a very expensive room on the beach. Can't say for certain, but it sure seems that way -especially with all the sweat and tears going into the place.
Thank you.

A+ for effort. They are trying but not there yet.
Rat poop on the bath towel. no daily service. Tiny room for $$$. Nòt even a chair or a vanity. Could have stayed at large hotel with a pool and pets for same money. Wasn’t cool and nostalgic like I thought. Plus's the staff helpful and friendly. Beach access and beach very nice. Enough parking for the rooms.
