Fun place!
Overall we really enjoyed this place, they paid attention to making it fun and enjoyable. Lots of nice little things or available that you don't usually get to see at hotels. The manager was very nice when I called with a question. I would definitely come again when I'm in the area. The only thing I would change is the patio chairs are very uncomfortable so we borrowed a pool chair which was very very comfortable. They didn't seem to mind that we did that, and we did put it back at the end.

Romantic getaway
We had a wonderful stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, Mohinder was very helpful letting us know about all the amenities and making us feel welcome. The hotel texted us before arriving to let us know about their afternoon freshly baked cookies, snacks and games. They had coffee, tea and water all day in the lobby. Great games and entertainment areas. Across the street private beach was lovely to wake up to and get your day started. I highly recommend this hotel. Shannon was great checking us out and giving us goodie’s for the road back home.

You will experience a beautifully updated, dream-like setting at Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn! The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! You are treated as their special guest in all ways! My favorite was the text message reminding us not to miss the fresh- baked cookies & popped popcorn at 5:00 PM!

This property is a former motel that has been renovated to fit current aesthetics. Its clean, quiet and has 24hr beach access. It allows dogs, but their pet policy is incomplete online. Call and ask for it because you will have to sign it when you check in and it includes some potential fees. They did welcome my pup with several milk bones and do have areas for dogs to use. Beach access is also dog friendly. Laundry was advertised but we were told laundry could not be accomodated. Next morning, I saw them accomodate someone else's just fine. There are a lot of fees associated with booking and late check out depending on time of late check out. I did receive several message from managent checking in with us about our stay and one afterwards asking for a review in exchange for the parking fee to be waived. Dogs are also an additional fee plus fees for other things as well.

We stayed at this hotel for a family wedding. The hotel was quaint, clean and staff was amazing. We loved the little perks like cookies and popcorn each afternoon. The beach was beautiful and literally right across the street. The only reason I am not giving this a 5 may be kind of silly, but worth mentioning. I ordered a $10 bottle of champagne and was charged $98 for it! I wasn't informed of the price (though I probably should have asked) and thought that was a tad overboard. Otherwise, great stay.
