The Sea Spray Inn is a smaller hotel right near South Beach Park. This park has the widest sand beach in the area. The beaches to the north have a much narrower area of sand.
The rooms are clean and they are all efficiencies. With your own stove and fridge you will save even more than at a regular hotel. If you don't want to cook there are 4 restaurants within walking distance. This is a quiet area of the barrier island and the Sea Spray Inn provides beach towels, beach umbrellas, boogie boards and they even have a couple fishing poles you can borrow. They also have a heated pool for when you don't want to go to the beach.
Its 5 stars because of the value. It is a little older but the location and the amenities make it a great choice. Hopefully you can get a room here.
