Cockroaches the size of my hand in and around our room. There was a half inch of space between the floor to the room and the front door, so the roaches can crawl in and out as they please. The sheets clearly hadn’t been washed or changed before we checked in. Don’t come here.

Right on the bay!

Ocean View Inn is a place I stay every year for the 4th of July. The rooms are basic needs. No hair dryer, no fancy toiletries. Just a nice clean room, with clean sheets, fresh towels everyday, and a 30 second walk to the bay. It’s perfect for me! They treat their guests well, while giving them the privacy they want.

Great for the price and private beach

It was good for the price. Private access to the beach too, and I got to watch the sunrise in real time. The staff was nice, and the toilet wouldn't flush when I got there, but they literally fixed it within five minutes and checked the next morning to make sure it was still working ok. Stayed twice so far. No complaints!

The only highlight of the stay was the oceanfront location, but be ready to bring your own blanket since they only supply a sheet, and watch out for the palm-sized roaches that might surprise you.

Old motel, comfy sleeping

Old motel, comfy beds/pillows. Being in the beach means sand everywhere…but upon entry floor was mildly sandy already. I understand it is hard to keep sand out, so try swifter. The kitchenette availability was nice considering the price, but offer a kitchen towel for drying and maybe some soap for dishwashing as a standard.
