Carousel Motel

I had been searching in the area for a reasonable spot to stay for a month’s escape from the winter up North. I was limited in what I was finding as this was December and I was shopping for the coming February, most places were booked or they wouldn’t take a month’s booking. I was becoming discouraged, the last place I looked at was a hell hoIe and I was running out of options, my friend reminded me that she thought I had another motel jotted down somewhere and wow there in my pocket was a crumbled piece of paper where I had scribbled the Carousel Motel. I called and met Judy a very friendly woman who was the owner, although all the rooms were rented Judy let me poke my head in to briefly browse an efficiency as that was what I was looking for, the furnishings were basic and somewhat dated but what caught my eye was that everything sparkled! Basic, well maintained and clean and within my budget? I can do that! As I looked at the room this elderly couple came over to me to tell me that they have been coming here every year for years and that Judy was the nicest woman! That convinced me, I booked the room with Judy. I decided to go onto the Carousel Motel’s Facebook page and I saw so many comments and photos of Judy together with her guests who return yearly and I quickly saw that I made the right decision. For the month of February the Carousel was my home! I wound up having a wonderful experience, Judy is a very special person, she is hospitable, warm, funny and caring and you soon realize and feel that this is more than a place to stay, you are Judy’s Guest! This is a very small motel and for some reason it draws most other guests who are friendly as well, in the court yard strangers talked and even invited other strangers to share drinks and dinner over the grill with them… we even went to restaurants together. In my month there I met the nicest most interesting people! I will be back!

Great place for a «staycation»! Rooms are super clean and the price was amazing for Fathers day weekend. Right by a beautiful beach access and restaurants, bars and shopping. Will definitely be back!

The owner is very friendly. They have very good rates. This hotel is right off the water. It’s so close!!! It’s a 1 – 2 min walk at the most. But seriously, it’s a great location. The rooms are clean. Has a very at home feel to them. The tv is small and doesn’t have any channels but there’s internet sooooo better have a laptop with Netflix to kill time! There’s a mini fridge, microwave, and a big closet. Kinda squished but it’s still very nice and I had a great experience.
P. s. Bars are close and 7 – 11 across the street.

I really want to give this place five stars. The owner is sweet, helpful, kind and has a cute dog. Those things alone would give this place a five. The only reason I took one star away is the TV was pretty bad, it was really dark and yes, we were at a beautiful beach. But still, a girl needs her TV. Other than that, the place is clean, simple, and has a kitchen if you choose to cook… which we didn’t. Support this place, because the owner is amazing and supplies beach loungers!
