Overall, we had a wonderful time."

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time during our stay here! They were extremely accommodating and it was awesome to be able to walk right out to the beach from our hotel. Everything had been recently updated and was well-maintained. They do allow pets and there was a small fee ($10 per night) that we had to pay when we checked in."
