I had an amazing stay at Ocean Sands Beach Boutique! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, making check-in quick and effortless. The property feels brand new, and the amenities inside the room are in excellent condition — everything was clean, modern, and thoughtfully provided. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining both comfort and style for their guests. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-kept beach getaway.

We loved our stay here! Family friendly amenities! Lawn games outside upon our arrival, which the kids were excited about! The pool was great, clean and refreshing and the hotel rooms were nice, clean, comfortable and very clearly newly renovated! Reasonably priced too and we would definitely return. Plus a 4 min walk to Clark Street public beach access.

We stopped here for a night to break up travel on our long drive. This place is very nice!! You can tell it’s a small business and not run by a corporation. Everything here is brand new and very clean. The rooms are very quaint and it’s right near the beach. You couldn’t ask for anything more. I will be coming back here when I am in the area. This is a good find in a very populated tourist area with such high vacation rental prices.
