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.

Just a boardwalk away from the ocean! The rooms were better than we expected. Very family oriented with a little hangout and yard game section! 10/10 would recommend this place to stay and we will be back!

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.
Melanie, 1-night trip

Excellent location. Property owner/manager was fantastic and so welcoming! Would stay here again. Private boardwalk to the beach, free guest bikes, sitting areas, recreation/picnic/bb
Latrisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved staying at the beacon, it was super nice and the boardwalk to the beach and games on the patio were lovely
Fiona, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great and friendly. Anything we needed, it was supplied - from sunscreen to extra towels. Very quiet & private.
Rita, 4-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.
CHRIS, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wow really convenient, newly remodeled, and has a nice path right to a private part of the beach!
Untez, 1-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!

Salter Path's best kept secret

This a great privately owned motel. Well maintained and great amenities. Big rooms.
Ernest, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The owner was extremely sweet and made our stay as convenient and comfortable as possible ! Book through her and not a third party to get the best deals ! Private beach access was everything ! it wasnt crowded ! Besst time honestly ! Will be back again !
Valeria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was decent. Kitchenette sparsely supplied.
Todd, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The service was truly excellent — warm, welcoming, and personal. Christina, the owner, was absolutely lovely. She spoke to us like old friends, and her kindness really made our experience special. The room was clean and cozy, and overall we felt very comfortable during our stay. The only small suggestions we have would be to add a few more hooks in the bathroom for towels or clothes, a small table or shelf for toiletries, and maybe a couple more wall outlets for convenience. Otherwise, everything was perfect. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others!
Amber, 3-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.
Brandi, 2-night trip

Best place to stay I would love to stay again when I come 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

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, small simple hotel, very clean and has everything you need to enjoy the beach, which is of course why you are there.
