Great place!

We enjoyed staying here! The rooms were clean and nice, everyone there was super friendly and if we needed anything we didn’t have to wait long at all to get anything. The owner was there everyday and she made sure we enjoyed our stay. My kids loved it here! Will definitely go back and would recommend staying here to anyone.

Great last minute find!

Great place to stay! Easy boardwalk walk to beach. Lots of fun extras like cornhole, ping pong, bikes, and comfy seating. Owner even has towels, umbrellas, toys, sunscreen, and chairs you can borrow for beach. Very friendly environment.

The Beacon hotel is, for the buck, the best hotel on the beach. Clean, easy access to a beautiful beach. Check in was quick, Manager, Mrs. Christina, is very friendly and knows the area well. We will return.

Rita, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff super friendly. Great set up with games and grill for everyone. Loved the complimentary beach chairs, bikes and umbrellas. Having its own lit private walkway to the beach was a plus. Great location just 12 min from restaurants and stores. Will definitely go back!
Katrina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older property but remodeled interior. We were specifically looking for the retro vibe and this property fit the bill. Short boardwalk to the uncrowded beach which was great as well.

Todd, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad. It's walking distance to the beach. The property is renovating a few rooms at a time. My room had not been updated yet but it was comfortable. The location is good. No complaints

Birthday getaway

We brought our daughter down for the weekend for her birthday. We have stayed here in past and now the rooms and been updated and so pretty. I loved sitting out back in the sitting area/kitchen. The staff was nothing short of amazing. We loved every second of our trip and we will be going back.

Kelvin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We did not get to stay as they did not have a room for us and called the morning we started traveling to tell us. The person on the phone was very rude and unhelpful.
Kiersten, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room smelt moldy the people were completely unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Daryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Christina was so personable and kind, and warm! She made sure i was taken care of! As a woman travelling alone, i would reccomend the beacon. It had a family atmosphere and its a cozy, quiet spot. It was safe, clean and lovely. I loved the decor of my room! Only possible improvement would be a microwave. The location offers a boardwalk on property tbat leads difectly to the ocean!! Its a lovely place with lovely people. And the beach is quiet and uncrowded!! Will be staying here again for my beach vacations. Loved it! Thank you so much for making my stay comfortable, kind and relaxing!!

This is a charming motel with so many lovely features. I grill, gas fire pit, beach umbrellas, swings, sooooo cute. You can walk to to eat and beach is just a quick walk down the path. The beach is in a quiet area. Love this place

10/10 Exceptional

My honest review

We had the most incredible time at this cozy beach spot! The place has direct beach access, making it so easy to enjoy the sand and waves. The location offers the perfect view to catch both sunrise and sunset – truly breathtaking. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic gas grill for cooking, and everything we needed was readily available. A huge shoutout to Christina, who was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her kindness and attentiveness made our stay so much more enjoyable, and she truly made the experience 10x better. This wasn’t our first time staying here, and it definitely won’t be the last. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else – this place is a gem! 5 stars all around!
