I stayed over the summer with my girls for a girls weekend. Yes, it wasnt clean but it was close to the beach. They have boys that work out by the beach that will carry out an umbrella and beach chair for you so that makes for a plus.
Now for the negatives of our first trip,. With in 5 minutes of our arrival the toliet was over flowing and plugged. Which required us to call for help. The mattresses and pillows are aweful! The pillow are flat, bring a few from home you will need them. You can feel every spring in your back on the mattress., It pops and creaks everytime you move. The last day of our girls weekend i awoke to the air being out. Called downstair and they sent up a new window unit,

Second trip - just this past weekend. 3rd week of september. Air Conditioning has been shut off in the building for the season. Now mind you, in north carolina in september it is not uncommon to have 90+ degree days in September. I went to the office and was told they would send someone down to fix the problem, The fix was a box fan. :(
We had a 1 bedroom "suite" when we returned from dinner my son killed a roach in the bedroom. The next morning when i made the pull out sofa (which looked like new!) there was a dead roach in the cushion.
Over the summer they had a "free breakfast" which consisted of muffins, juice, fruit, cereal. In September they did not offer the free meal.

in conclussion, we wont be returning. I paid $169.00 for a non ocean view room in September. I think the rate is high. I could have stayed in Wrightsville, Topsail , or Carolina Beach for around $100.00 in a much cleaner room, next time i will!

Our family has visited this Motel for the last 40 years. I can honestly say it has not changed much in looks over these 40 years, but we still keep returning.....why.....the answer is very simple....the people!!!!

Even though the rooms are a little run down, the people and the fellowship make up for the old deco. Breakfast around the pool every morning, watermelon parties on the lawn twice a week, Easter Egg Hunt, Mother's and Father's Day parties, and the largest......The 4th of JUly party!

Chairs , umbrellas, rocking chairs, bikes for the kids, large playground, they even have a sand box!....all these things are provided.......grills and everything to cook with are provided.

Over the last 40 years we have made wonderful friends from up and down the East Coast. We always come during the 4th of July week. This summer we had at least 75 people at our "family 4th of July" dinner!

Come join us next summer!

If you are staying here spend as much time as possible at the beach or pool. The rooms are dim, way dates and dingy and stay away from the second floor as the railings are not safe for children or adults. The staff was great as well as the location, so I was happy with our stay.

If you are coming to the beach save yourself some trouble and spend a little extra to stay where the management is concerned about your vacation experience. Very bad experience with managment. Spend a few dollars more to stay somewhere else. You get what you pay for!
