This folksy, laid-back motel just steps from the surf looks better on the outside than inside. Well-kept grounds supporting blooming hibiscus, bird of paradise, and sago palms contrast with rooms that have seen better days. But they are spacious and clean, and most have balconies and ocean views. There's a barbecue available for guest use. Pros: Within walking distance of the beach, public barbecues. Cons: Plain motel, small rooms.
