Great experience. Thank you
Convenient. Great location. Beach access. Clean. Just what I needed for a long weekend getaway. There was a lot of commotion from an arguing couple in an adjoining room for several hours but that’s no fault of the host or a reflection of a typical stay. I plan to return! Thanks “Beacon!”

The Beacon
This was a basic hotel, but I was at the beach. The room was semi upgraded, and there was not any heat. The air conditioning was on very high, and I figured out how to turn it off, which made the room much warmer. I could hear the dogs in the room next door. For being at the beach, this hotel was adequate and very reasonable.

Prices are a little high but the location is great, there is a path straight to the beach. Room #6 was renovated, 2 ACs, very clean and comfortable. There was no staff for check in or check out but we did not need it during our 1 night stay.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed the beachy/boho vibe. The family hang out area was a cool little spot to just relax at the end of the day. The best thing about this property is the beach access. It's a short walk down the trail and the beach itself was not crowded. It seems the place was recently remodeled, so there were a few things that were outdated or broke in our room or around the common areas, but that may also be on their list to get too. We'll definitely look into this place again for our next visit.

The place was renamed to The Beacon so it was a little confusing. But the rooms were clean and looks like they did a few upgrades. They were so close to the beach and the outside area was so cute.
