Right on the beach although the ocean view from the room was blocked by an armour stone breakwall. Great view from the top of the wall which made a rough walkway along the waters edge.

Good, comfortable property right off the beach. Private, and easy access to road and dining options. Definitely not a motel feel (with individual cottage concept).

These are very nice individual cabins right next to the beach. While you cannot see the beach from the units, due to the break wall being in the way, you can certainly hear the surf! The units are spacious and have very well appointed kitichens.

The cabin was brilliant. Spacious, clean. Location was 20 second walk to the shore, which had some picnic tables to enjoy the sunset. Highly recommend. Only note... check-in is at a pub/restaurant down the street.

Property is on the beach. Fabulous walks along the roaring ocean Staff, particularly the lady in charge of the units was not friendly or willing to be helpful. Our unit had one wine glass, one small glass, and one large glass. Clearly short on utensils. When we asked to have this corrected she said hopefully staff will fix it tomorrow!!! Not happy with lackadaisical attitude toward customer service.

Lovely room with small kitchen (which we did not use). Great location. Small bed for 2 persons, but there was a small single that my wife used. Shower was okay. Short walk to a nice restaurant and bar with a great vibe. A little confusing with address, because you have to check-in at the above mentioned restaurant.

Was a lovely place and the scenery was great, however there was so much old accumulated dust under the rugs, couches, beds etc with our children sneezing the entire time we were there. The place needs a good vacuum and mop. In hotter months I would suggest more than just one small fan, the fan was also covered in dust.

The room was nice and spacious, and the location just steps from the waterfront was nice. Note that the beach begins a few hundred meters further down, at the motel it is just a sea wall.
