My room was an A+ on cleanliness!!! Can't wait to visit the Beacon again. The property has the cozy feel of a privately owned inn and the amenities of a large scale property. The manager was attentive and welcoming. She gets an A++

Perfect family vacation spot. The property is well maintained, the beach access is private, and the owners treat guests like their own family. Highly recommended for travelers looking for comfort without paying luxury resort prices.

Location was excellent! Cute place. However, we could tell our room wasn’t cleaned very well. Small pieces of trash on the floor, counter wasn’t wiped down. Curtains were see through so we had to hang a sheet over the window.

This rundown motel is in the middle of an effort to be rehabilitated, but nothing is in working order yet. They should have waited.
No table and chairs in the efficiency units. They were apparently on order. Finally, they gave us a rusted metallic secretary chair and an office desk.
The utensil services were incomplete. We gave the ones we had in our room to our daughter so she could have a minimal set, and we used our own, as we had the bright idea to bring some.
The showers were lukewarm, if not cold.
The linen was old and worn out.
Some bed covers were dirty in our adult daughter's room on arrival, and we had to complain to have those removed and a clean one given.
One night, we came back around midnight, and our electronic keys were unusable, and there was nobody on site to help. We were able to go in via the washroom windows (2 rooms). They came in the morning and apologized with the new keys and offered us a free night for a future stay. (if ever...)
The last night of our 5-night stay (in 2 rooms), a Tuesday, the management threw an outdoor barbecue and invited everybody in sight. The barbecue became a party with music and alcohol, with loud talking well after eleven. My daughter had to have a fit to ask them to stop it so she could sleep, as we were leaving the following morning at 7 am to drive to Norfolk airport. Management finally stopped it.
I want a full reimbursement.
Fortunately, the beach was very close and beautiful, and the weather was fair. Imagine.
