Contactless check in (keys were left in a box with the guests name). The motel is small and cute (6 rooms) and steps from the beach. It's also walking distance to restaurants, bars and cafes.The room was comfortable and clean. It would have been 5/5 if there had been hot water for the shower

Our overall stay was good. I love it's on the beach, small and quiet. I was, however, disappointed to learn it was new owners and they no longer do breakfast or readily available on site. Would still recommend.
