8/10 Good
"This is a small second generation family owned motel with owners on site. Newly remodeled bathroom, a very comfortable bed, plenty of water pressure and about 100 yards to the Atlantic Ocean. We found it a nice change of pace from larger units requiring elevators, distant parking, and hassles of chain hotels."

"We liked this place so much we will probably stay again next year. It's a great setup for families with little kids. There is a playground down the quiet street that was an easy walk for little ones. Fragile knick knacks are all out of reach, and there is plenty of space. The bathroom stool was also a nice touch. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware. The downstairs bedroom and full bathroom with walk in shower made this accessible to those with mobility issues. There is a single step up into the house."

Last Second Deal ! Steps to Ocean & Black Point and by Scarborough Beach !

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great place to stay. The house was well equipped and maintained. The kitchen had everything needed, although I would have appreciated a knife that was sharp and a cutting board to hat wasn’t warped. Beds are comfortable with nice bedding. The deck in back is wonderful. The house is minutes from Scarborough Beach, lovely beach and you just have to pay for parking. Note: this house has three levels: bathroom on one, bedrooms on another, and the kitchen/dining/living area on yet another. This was not clear from the listing. Was fine for us but not good if you are disabled in any way. And the bath/shower lacks a grab bar or mat so one needs to be careful!"
