My partner and I recently stayed at the Moonlight Beach Motel for a quick overnight getaway. The location was perfect, with easy access to food, bars, shopping, and the beach. The cleanliness was outstanding and we were impressed with the abundance of pillows and towels provided. The addition of a kitchenette in our two-bedrooms was a pleasant surprise, making our stay even more comfortable. The parking was ample and hassle-free, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. A highlight for us was the comfortable beds, ensuring a good night's sleep.

We recently stayed at this gem of a motel for a quick beach getaway. The location is perfect, just steps from the beach and within walking distance of great restaurants and shops. The newly upgraded rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a lovely balcony with an ocean view. We appreciated the convenience of the mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The availability of beach toys and supplies was a nice bonus.

I do recommend this hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at this motel. The location was amazing, just a block away from the beach, and I loved being able to hear the ocean from my room.

I couldn't be happier with the value for money at this motel. The room was clean and cozy, with a great view of the surf. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Moonlight Beach and the downtown area. The staff went above and beyond, even upgrading our room without us asking. I would definitely recommend this place.

The only thing that could have made the breakfast better would be more variety in the breakfast items.

Had a great Xmas stay with beautiful views and a perfect location just a block from the beach. The motel's elevated position offered stunning ocean views and caught cool breezes. The renovated rooms were clean, spacious, and well-stocked with a kitchenette. The friendly and responsive staff ensured a comfortable stay.

No pool or in-room phone, but the proximity to the beach made up for it. Limited amenities like no breakfast or beach towels, but we brought our own.
