    Third time we stayed here: we visit from UK and Surf Motel is great for first/last nights after/before our flights. Also very friendly, sensibly priced, with all that is needed for a stay at the beach.

    Perfect location, with all the basics you need in a comfortable, nicely decorated room. Waking up to the sound of the waves. Sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean. Love this place, and the great value it offers.
