What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 469 guest reviews
Beach Bum West-O Motel earns consistent praise for its clean, peaceful waterfront setting, family-friendly vibe, and appealing outdoor amenities including the pool, pier, and lounge areas. However, recurring complaints about poor bed quality — including a broken frame propped up with wood — and outdated rooms suggest the property's interior maintenance lags behind its pleasant grounds. Breakfast is seen as a weak point, and the canal-side location brings bugs in warmer months, so guests should factor in these trade-offs.
