Stay was good but they need outdoor lighting on the balcony. With out this it makes it very hard to enjoy the Ocean Views.

This is a well established motel that has been there forever. This was our second stay and we are very satisfied. Every room has a balcony facing the ocean. It’s not fancy but it’s quiet the owner/ staff are super friendly. We will b back

What a nice little hidden gem! We really enjoyed our stay and loved that it was pet friendly! The motel is a no-frills motel and there is no pool - BUT you cannot beat the gorgeous ocean view from the rooms. It's right there on the beach and it was a perfect stay. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and we can't wait to come back again!

The view from our room was gorgeous, and the ladies at the desk are nice, but those are literally the only positives I can list. We booked an efficiency king room with a kitchen on the first floor of the motel. The motel is quite literally falling apart - the entire room’s floor slanted inward towards the center of the building, the storm window frames were rusted and the brackets were coming off the walls as were the curtain rods, the wall paneling was peeling off, the only wired light fixture had a bulb out and the other side of the room had 2 tiny useless lamps, the AC didn’t work well, and there is no sprinkler system despite having a full kitchen. Upon arrival, neither key we received worked on the deadbolt so we were only able to lock the handle lock during our stay. I was NOT told upon booking that our room would be conjoined with another room, with only two regular doors separating us - I heard this other guest drop his fork on his plate, sneeze, drop his keys on the table, let his dog bark, etc. through the door like he was literally in the room with us, and I’m sure he heard us the entire time as well. The guests above us had children that ran laps the entire time and quite literally sounded like they were coming through the floor, for hours, as late as 9pm. The bed was hard as a rock and the pull out couch did not come with linens. Being on the beach and having direct access is nice but I was severely disappointed.

Excellent beach getaway

This place is wonderful! The man checking me in was friendly and helpful. My room (all rooms?) has an ocean side balcony with chairs, which love. Topsail Island is not full of restaurants (there are a few), so a stop at the grocery store is a good idea. The room does have a microwave, fridge with freezer, and a coffee maker. There's plenty of room, at least for 1 or 2. The area is quiet and I feel very safe. The beach is gorgeous: lots of shallow water to wade in, clean, uncrowded (though, it is the middle of March). Anyone wanting a quiet beach getaway, this is a dream.
