“Amazing motel, clean, cold and cant forget the clean pool.”
“$109 for kitchenette. Has a pool and a washer with dryer outside. Close to beach and bay. No ice maker. No breakfast. Has cable tv and the owners are great. Place is run down regarding the rooms, but it has AC, tv, and pool. Sheets are clean but it’s older and needs work. If u need a place to stay while fishing or beaching it’s good. Lots of late night people but they left us alone. Been staying here 30 years since previous owners. Will stay again.”
“Hidden on the access road, but a great find to stay at! Went during spring break and with the prices high this place was a bargain, especially with the amenities. I love cooking my own food and their kitchenette was a perfect size. They don't have a coffee maker so I had to buy one for 9 bucks at Walmart (that was my only frown moment.) Rooms are clean, modern, and roomie. The owners are pleasant. The pool was clean, the parking lot is bright during the night for the safety of our vehicles. Prices aren't listed online but worth the call.”
“From beginning to end this was a great place to stay. Friendly front desk staff, clean room, the updates are wonderful. Our room included microwave, fridge, new tv, desk area, nice bed. For the price, location to the island, cleanliness and the great staff, you can't beat it. We will be back to this location.”
“very clean and cozy place to stay. It has a pool and kitchenettes available. Walking distance to restaurants HEB and other local businesses. Management stays on the property so they are available if needed.”
“Last minute decision on this motel. Motel located along the highway along with several different bait shops nearby Walmart and HEB too. Kitchen, dining area, microwave, and refrigerator available in most rooms depending on your necessities. We slept well throughout the night and had plenty of room for all our things. AC unit worked well through the night. Maintained good heat, and did not get uncomfortably cold at night. They have a pool located right up front at the entry. The area was closed due to the cold weather. Glad we were able to get availability at a great price for one night stay and located in a good area. You get what you pay for, but they have well maintained rooms.”
