"We loved this tiny house! We were surprised to find so many kitchen staples in the cupboards and weren't quite sure if we were supposed to use them. We really didn't need to, but I think we would have had we been there longer. Clarification on this might be helpful. Nice to know if hot chocolate mix was okay to use. Very clean and comfortable living space, with lots of light and easy windows to open for a pleasant breeze. The wrap-around porch and swing were lovely places to drink our morning...

Parking our vehicle out front didn’t feel as if someone would break into it. The short walk down to the beach area was convenient, and watching the ships go by was...

"The young Asian guy at the front desk was wonderful. Security is tight because it is off of Aurora Ave where there is likely quite a bit of crime. The motel did a great job in this regard. Room was good. Stubbed my toe on a part of the bed frame that kinda extends too far out. A red light on the phone was on and I didn't understand that. Lid to heat/AC unit was kinda broken. Parking was good and secure. There was a bit of a continental breakfast. Price was great! Overall it was quite good for what I needed. It was clear that management had spent a lot of time doing their best. There were nice little touches like how they had the towels and wash cloths prepared. Frig, microwave, coffee maker, etc. were present. I didn't watch TV. Overall it was quite good and I certainly do recommend it. I would stay again. Again, the young Asian guy at the front desk was excellent---a wonderful young person!"
