Property is dated, but still fit our needs. The coffee and donuts was poor to say the least. They did let us check in early which was nice. Right on the beach.

Super motel and B&B Rebekah .

Bylismy teraz tam juz drugi raz . Przedtem w B&B Rebekah teraz w motelu. Piekna plaza super polozonie przy plazy i blisko centrum komercyjnego oraz restauracji i fastfoods. Wlascicielka przemila oraz jej syn , tak samo i obsluga servisowa. Dziekuje wszystkim za mila obsluge. B& B Rebekah ma bardzo dobry styl wnetrz, pokoje, salon , jadalnia umeblowane ze smakiem i dobrym gustem . Poczujesz sie tam swietnie jak za dawnych dobrych czasow , jedzac sniadanie. To zasluga Pani tego domu czyli wlascicielki, to ona nadala styl co daje dobre samopoczucie. Lazienki sa wspolne ale jest bardzo czysto sprzataja 3 razy dziennie. Natomiast w motelu kazdy pokoj ma lazienke. Zibi - Quebec , Canada

I was going to be selfish and keep this little gem a secret, but oookaay...if I must. LOL This girls trip was much needed for my best friend and I. The Sandpiper Beachfront Motel fit that need. Donna made check in a pleasant experience and when the phone got busy, Mike was right there to pick up the baton so there was no waiting. I'm versatile and know when no frills and personable is appropriate. SBM is just that for this beach town. How often do the owners take time to get to know their guests. Clean, comfortable and very safe. We pretty much kept our door open most of the time. Don't worry about parking. You have your own assigned spot with your room...AWESOME! I can keep going but I'll just end by saying, we will definitely be back to see my new Maine family. ")

The Sandpiper was absolutely charming! A real "mom and pop" motel, carefully looked after, as were we. There was a lovely deck that included a grill and numerous picnic tables, as well as lounge chairs that looked out over the ocean. Best of all... it was right on the beach, connected by a footbridge! It made it very easy for my 95-year-old father to visit the beach without any difficulties.

We loved that it was right on the beach in the price was right . The room had a closed up smell when we entered. There was no alarm clock so we didn’t know the time. There were only two bath towels in the room for the three of us Several times during showering the water would go from comfortable to ice cold. Our room was upstairs on the top floor. The outdoor stairs up to our room were creaky and a bit shifty It was warm so we cracked the window then we could hear the train every time It passed. Overall it was just OK.

Beautiful Beach Location

This is a well maintained motel-style getaway and it is just lovely! Right at the water’s edge, it has beautiful views. Outdoor furniture provides just the right spots for relaxing and enjoying the sites. Restaurants and entertainment are easy to get to by car or on foot. The rooms are not fancy but are comfortable. Staff members are friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend!
