Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This motel was a great value for the location and beach access! The property is basic and simple, but clean and well kept. It's nearly impossible to keep sand out, but there was a broom in the room to handle the sand. The bed was a little squeaky, but comfortable. There is a walkway directly onto the beach with a hose to rinse your feet. The room directly facing the beach looked awesome. I would definitely stay here again for the location and affordable price!"
