We were booked across the street and moved to this motel both are owned by thesame people. No refunds!!! Bad management and owners. Toilet was backed up. Next door rooms toilet backed up into our bathtub. Nothing like feces in the tub floating around. That's how they run it here. I

First, the positives: Cute property with lots of potential if the rooms were kept up. Good location, private cottages -- no sharing walls with your neighbors! Clean swimming pool with semi-private surrounding fence. Clean ice maker. Clean towels. Plenty of hot water. Family-friendly, with outdoor grilling and sitting area. Friendly staff.

Now the negatives: The deadbolt didn't lock on my room, so I was offered a second room, and that deadbolt didn't lock either! In the corners of the bathroom, I found two webs with live spiders and their most recent kills. I found a hair in the refrigerator, and another hair in between the tightly-made bed sheets. The smoke detector / carbon monoxide detector was DISCONNECTED and DID NOT have a battery in it; I had to ask for one. There was not a single clothing hanger in the room on which I could hang my tops; nor were there any drawers in which I could place my clothes.
Most of these things can be easily fixed with some bleach, antibacterial soap, a Swiffer, a fresh coat of paint, attention to detail, and care!!

Booked a room last minute yesterday. I loved the price, it was 6min from the beach,had a pool and pictures didnt look so bad. When we got there I was immediately disappointed! As soon as I opened the door to our room a strong stench of cigarettes hit me. Then further investigated,the bathroom was absolutely disgusting,one of the outlets didn't work, ceiling fan didn't work. When I put the ac on THAT smelt even worse.Thankfully the weather wasn't too bad so we left the 1 window open,to then realize that the outside lights are on 24-7 and they are extremely bright. I absolutely will not be going back,and will make sure I tell everyone not to as well

We loved this little place. The rooms are exactly what you would expect, basic rooms. We needed somewhere to sleep on our 6 day adventure and this gem did just that. The owners/staff are just the sweetest. Rooms and cottage grounds were clean and very quiet. Location is great as well!

We stayed one night and enjoyed it. The bathroom and shower could use a good deep cleaning and rerouting but the shower was functional and the water got as hot as we wanted it. Room had a fridge and microwave which was nice. Bed was too firm for my liking but my husband enjoyed it. Heating system was a little overwhelmed but heated up through the night. Overall, we enjoyed it and would come back.

We (myself,husband,daughter)stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding. Rooms are decent, has the microwave, refrigerator and flat screen tv. Could definitely use a coffee maker in the rooms. One of the beds were not comfortable. I felt like I was laying on a table. Luckily my daughter switched with us and the other bed was better. Not great but better. The rooms are clean, however could really use some dusting and/or extra cleaning like along the floors trim, stains on walls, window sills. Room had a bit of a musty smell ( in my opinion the rugs need to go because they hold odors in). The pool area was nice and any staff I saw was pleasant. There’s also an indoor pool available at the property next to it. No issues with booking, parking or anything else!!

My first night was fine. The second I paid for a second night, they spent 6 hours doing mantaintence on my room. They could have moved me, but did not. I emailed about it, but no reply. Stay at your own risk.
