Beach Street Motel Apartments
The beach is a 5 minute walk away. The cooking facilities in the apartments are good. Downtown is very close. The apartments are child friendly and are cleaned to a very good standard. The parking is generous and the staff very helpful. The only thing of note was the slipperiness of the shower.
