Marina Beach Motel

Marina Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very welcoming, the room was clean and ready. The room was a bit small for 2 people and 2 queen beds, but we didn't spend much time there. The small fridge, microwave & Keruig was much appreciated and used. The ease of renting (free) bikes to ride along the beach was one of my favorite activities. Steps to Sterns Wharf, restaurants and the Art walk on Sunday allowed us to pack in a few last minute activities. Highly recommended."
