The property was difficult to find and there was no cell reception on the roads getting there so my GPS wasn't working, better signage from the main highway would be helpful. The fan was broken in my room and the room hadn't been vacuumed as I found a pill on the carpet and dead bugs on the floor and the remote was super sticky..ick. but other than that it was lovely.

The motel sits right on the water and has beautiful view . It was a rainy day when we arrived but can imagine the view would be amazing in the summer.
