This beachfront jewel, known for its vintage neon sign and private sandy beach, has been a cherished destination for decades. Recently lovingly restored, the motel now boasts a refreshed, yet nostalgically familiar, appearance.

These accommodations boast cozy reading nooks, both indoor and outdoor showers, coffee stations, and a thoughtfully curated selection of books.
