The place is not on the beach, but across the street. The view is of the road or the parking lot. The staff and service are good, but the facility itself and the location are not that great.

View of the ocean was wonderful. We sat on our little balcony/ porch and enjoyed the morning sun. Swimming pool was maintained at 90 degrees! Warm cookies each evening at 5PM. Nice breakfast including waffles, bacon, sausages, eggs. Breads. Juices. Coffees. Lovely.

Romantic Getaway
This was easily the best hotel that I've ever stayed in. A representative from the hotel texted me to coordinate romantic options. They ensured things were ready by the time my wife and I showed up. They were very accommodating and in a fantastic location. The perfect romantic getaway!

We stayed at Ocean Sands for 3 nights. Its an older property that is very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable. Our housekeeper Dawn did a great job. The Inn is located on a busy road and the traffic noise was significant in our ocean view room. The rooms on the other side were probably much more quiet. That being said, the view and sound of the ocean was beautiful. Beach access is right across the street. It is a nice beach, good for long walks and not crowded.

When we first arrived at 2:30pm to check in- the lady at the desk stated to everyone that the cleaning lady didn’t have the room ready and we would have to wait. Then another staff person who didn’t greet anyone was very “like get this transaction done” really didn’t explain anything, had to rely on text messages for information. The painting were pretty cool all over the place of the local area, crossing the street to the beach was very close and very dangerous with kids and dogs. There is a very steep sand dune to cross to get to the beach as the walkway bridge was not available. The beach was great! Great sunset view, pool looks clean! Inside the desk area and coffee area is very small. Cookies and popcorn at 5 pm. Also the TV wasn’t working, had to have the staff come up and program the TV took already 30 mins to get that done. The floor to the hotel room was nasty, the beds were very high off the ground they were comfortable and the AC unit froze everyone sleeping on one side and the others in the room were hot. The bathroom door is a wooden door that does not lock. The balcony was small but fit everyone to watch the sunset. That was very pretty. For the price, it was average! For the views and convenience of being right on the beach, it was worth it. $75 per pet! They do not acknowledge emotional support animals. They also charge a $69 resort parking fee. The pet station was not maintained, can was full. The breakfast the next morning was decent. Yogurt/eggs/B&G.

We checked in really late early morning of 25 February and were welcomed by the friendliest staff members. The hotel was conveniently located across the street from an amazing beach. We were offered late check out with a reasonable fee. All of the staff members we came in contact with, Silese, DJ and Sharon went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable and make our stay enjoyable. We look forward to returning one day soon.
