Oceanview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance to the beach."

Islander Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoy coming here for a long weekend. Easily accessible to the beach and the pool is always clean. I enjoy the coffee provided anytime! The bathrooms could use a little updating and grout needs a heavy cleaning. it would benefit rooms to have comfy sitting chairs vs a table and chairs. The mattress needs updating. The staff were very welcoming! Thank You we will be back and hope the mattresses are updated!!! Please???"
