I think $180 is a tad high for across the road with no beach or pool.There are 5 sometimes 6 of us in my immediate family group and we never pay that.
The seastar inn can house you comfortable in 2 rooms with free breakfast free phones and internets and free rides to the beach and back for I think they had a special on of 49$ per room so $100 in total I would go for that for sure

There are also very cheap deals online for fun holiday beach resort which is in a very good location right on the beach for much cheaper than 180$

If you only want a wooden cabin then try westport cottages which is opposite travellers beach resort and is very clean cute and safe -has about ten cabins and a huge shared kitchen that was 20 dollars per night per cabin.
Also there is roots bamboo but I preferred westport due to privacy.
Legends and samsara SOMETIMES have deals through thirs party websites.
