We love the Canterbury! It was our first time staying here and will absolutely be back. Weve been coming to Ocean Shores for about 15 years as a family and usualkt stay at the same place. We decided to try something new and now think the Canterbury is our new place. The pool was great, very clean, super friendly and helpful staff and beautiful rooms. We wish the view of the beach was better because the trees behind are so tall but all in all will be back as soon as we can!

Very nice hotel

The location is very well kept.The room was very clean.The set up of the kitchen was very nice.We did not use it but if we needed to it had everything you need. The only downside is that there's so much over grown forge.That even the third floor can barely see the water.
