"Excellent"

8.0

Very well kept clean property. Excellent location to the beach and dinning close by. A few minor inconvenience. A place to hang a wet bathing suit or towel. No place to unpack your clothes. No microwave but overall very nice for a short stay.

"The Surf Shanty was super cute & very clean - peaceful & off the main strip!"

10.0

Loved the cute theme, cleanliness & location. Was always nice & quiet, didn't hear anything from other rooms all weekend. Quick walk right to the beach or to the bayside.

The buildings nearby look abandoned or sketchy ... not the motels fault or something that can control.

"Perfect place to chill out and reset"

10.0

I loved EVERYTHING!!! It was very clean and cozy with really cool retro beach vibes as well as great amenities. Andre the property manager made it feel like home away from home. He provided my husband and I with fantastic recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area which was very helpful. He really goes above and beyond and created the ultimate experience for us. Also worth mentioning, the motel is steps from the beach and walking distance from the restaurants and night life of the downtown area. We are absolutely coming back!
