“Very nice apartment - tidy and clean”
Having to deal direct with owner rather than booking site is not my preference. Key lock after hours is a challenge in the dark on the street.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Bay Beach Motel. From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, with great cafes and shops nearby.
