We loved staying at the beacon, it was super nice and the boardwalk to the beach and games on the patio were lovely

My honest review
We had the most incredible time at this cozy beach spot! The place has direct beach access, making it so easy to enjoy the sand and waves. The location offers the perfect view to catch both sunrise and sunset – truly breathtaking. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic gas grill for cooking, and everything we needed was readily available. A huge shoutout to Christina, who was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her kindness and attentiveness made our stay so much more enjoyable, and she truly made the experience 10x better. This wasn’t our first time staying here, and it definitely won’t be the last. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else – this place is a gem! 5 stars all around!

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.

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!”

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

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

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.

Awful. Unable to sleep both nights due to room next to us fighting and barking dogs.
