Great right on the beach. Older hotel but clean and friendly staff. Accommodated us leaving earlier to tropical storm and refunded us the last three days of our stay. Clean but beds are quite hard and not very comfortable. Overall very great place to stay

The Wanna Wanna has been my beach getaway for all 10 years I"ve been in Texas. The only hotel with walk front access The rooms are very clean, with the exception of a couple crickets sprinkling good fortunes. Music, drinks, food, people all enhance a perfect, simple, beach vacation.

Ease of check in and check out, we didn’t get to hang at the bar because of the time we checked in but short drive to Bay Area and then when we got back very quite and right on the beach can hear the waves and in the morning watch the sunrise from your room! Needs a pool but otherwise perfect place

Great little hotel. Love the live music at night and it was great that I could go in my room and not hear the music. Love the spacious area and all the amenities in the rooms. Bathroom fixtures could use a little help but all in all a great room. Love the closeness to the beach and also that there was a bar/ restaurant there right at the hotel. The patio area was nice and the parking was a little hectic but not too horrible.
