Clean, safe and cute.
This cute hotel is charming, clean and the owners are awesome. It's super quiet and safe with a lovely courtyard to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. It's very close to the water (quick walk) and the bed was very comfortable. I will stay here again!

Small but very comfortable. Owner was very pleasant. Gave us info on the local restaurants. The only thing i would change is a king size bed option. Would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area.

Loved The Bay. It’s across the street from the beach in a cute residential area with restaurants wihin walking distance. The folks running it are super friendly and we enjoyed meeting their dog. Although It’s an older motel, It’s completely renovated and well cared for. The bed was comfy and the room had a microwave and refrigerator with a small freezer. We plan to return next year for the same event.
