    Our suite was spacious and comfortable. The ocean view was lovely. It was conveniently close to restaurants and the dock while being far enough away to be quiet.

    Breakwater Motel is exceptional. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was the little things they did that impressed. For example, they provided a coffee plunger with small bag of ground coffee instead of the usual coffee dust you get in...
