2 adults in an upstairs room. Very well priced. Clean. Beds were very comfortable. The refrigerator had plenty of room. Nice counter space for a kitchenette. Appreciated the ceiling fans in the two main rooms. AC worked well. Enjoyed not having lots of kids running around and screaming (no pool!) so we could enjoy the sounds of the ocean over the sound of tourist families.

However, it is located right at the beach/boot accesses, the rooms are extremely clean and well maintained, the place is overall very nice.

I so so very much enjoy coming here and staying with the wonderful kind people at the village Marina motel. The place is perfectly located right at the water. When I arrived I went straight for the boat to go fishing. When I return from my fishing trip I checked into my room with a lovely lady who kept me smiling with simple conversation. I believe it's the same lady I meet every year when I visit. I got my key went into my room and of course the air conditioner was on the place was very neat. There was no sign that anyone had previously stayed there as the room did not smell of smoking nor of anything that would cause you to have a uncomfortable and dissatisfied night. But that is what I expect of this place because that is what the village Marina staff does they make sure you're comfortable in a clean environment. The refrigerator, microwave, sink, table, bed, sheets pillow cases, carpet, bathroom, television, and even the Bible where all in great order. No one died go back every year where else should I go? I will return.
