The hotel was cute, the decor was cute, and the room we stayed in was really nice (and cute of course). Breakfast was delicious; much better than what I'd normally expect form a hotel breakfast. The remote/virtual check-in was a little strange and a bit hard to hear, but really wasn't that different from a normal check-in.

We upgraded to an ocean view room, which was nice. But the west bed was horrible, the mattress was almost concave. The staff was very helpful and nice. 👍 Being a disabled veteran no elevator was a little awkward.

The Ocean Sands Boutique Inn was clean and the location was fabulous. The check-in process was not seamless though. It was "automated" via an offsite person similar to a call center. Unfortunately, the key card issued through the automatic teller did not work, so I had to go back and ask for another one which also didn't work. Then I had to wait while the call center contacted an on-site person to get me a room key which worked. After a long day of travel this is not the hassle I needed. The call center person also gave me false information about the shuttle to St. Augustine which also cost me time and aggrevation.

The staff went above and beyond, and a special thank you to Julio, who was especially helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The hotel felt very safe and family-friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Fantastic service, spotless rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful beach escape with great hospitality
