Pretty place with kind owners
Pros:

Seaside location, close to town, good showers, beach chairs and umbrellas available for free, nice if small heated pool, palm trees, good bedding.

Cons:

Beds pretty squishy, blinds need repair, all rooms are sold as sea view and all the upstairs rooms have wonderful views. But we were downstairs and could only see a tiny sliver of water over the dune. Felt a little bait and switch given the cost.

Ein ganz tolles Motel mit Charme
Pros:

Ein Motel mit totalem Charme und Charakter! Absolut tolle Lage direkt am Strand, auch die Außenanlage mit Pool ein Traum! Wir hätten auch gut und gerne eine Woche bleiben können!

Cons:

Alles ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, ein bisschen Rost hier und da…

Superb
Pros:

This hotel was a perfect example of old school Florida. The property - pool and beach access - are dreamy and neat. The rooms are a bit dated, but serve every need. The kitchenette is a great perk. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the rooms quiet.

Cons:

The walls/floors were a little scuffed, and the look of the property is worn/dated, so if you’re looking for a place that feels “new” this might not be it. However everything was clean.
