Very small rooms but very clean. The AC is an older window unit, built into the wall, that was either on or off and it ran all night so it was never quiet in the room. It's also not on the beach but there's a pool.

My granddaughter and I had a wonderful stay during our 5 days on Tybee Island. The room was super clean and very cute. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the beach. Definitely would stay here again. We mostly had the pool all to ourselves.

Pool was a nice temperature. Code was ready to open the door upon arrival. Rooms were clean & well stocked. This is an older motel with a quaint, cozy, old-fashioned ocean type character. If you’re looking for a fancy, modern motel, look elsewhere. We loved this one for its uniqueness. Two light glass globes on the ceiling lights need to be replaced or cleaned, on the inside; otherwise our stay was great.

The room was remodeled and retro chic. Beds and pillow’s comfortable. Becky in the front office was amazing! Only problem was I should’ve booked 2 nights instead of just one.

The fantastic lady at the front desk was AMAZING! We adored her sooo much. Our neighbors were inconsiderate people who stayed up arguing both nights we were there, but besides that, it was an amazing stay and we will be back!

This motel is a super cute remodeled vintage motel. The wallpaper and decor was very cute and the room was very clean. The door could be replaced, we could see some light thru it towards the bottom of the door. Check-in was easy, we got a text with the check in code, and we received a phone call to double check that we got the code. The pool was clean and had a shallow and deep end. We hung out at the pool the day we checked out. The shower is large, but the bathroom overall is not big, the sink is tiny! Little college appliances are mid-century colors and all you need for a motel stay. Parking spots were tight because we had a truck. Anything bigger than an F-150/1500 would probably not fit. Overall a cute, clean vintage motel!

Very happy with thw room!

Small room but it worked. So happy to receive a text and a call to say the room was ready at 2:30, normal check in is at 4:00. Very clean property and pool. Great location and just a short walk to the beach. We plan on staying there again!
