"A light, airy, coastal-California–styled motel run by a local owner, this small property has 20 thoughtfully redesigned rooms, including six historic 1920s bungalows relocated to the site. The lobby offers a cozy indoor fireplace, a fridge stocked with refreshments, and a comfortable lounge, and the motel is only a short walk—about three minutes—to the beach and nearby surfing spots." - Mae Hamilton
