Motel & room were clean. Towels were clean and housekeepers stopped by daily to check if we needed additional towels. Check-in and check-out were easy. Location was right on the beach which was ideal.

Terrible experience, the owner pretends to be friendly to get you to stay then doesn't care whatsoever after you pay, very disrespectful and the motel was filled with issues including freezing cold showers, no way to do dishes and maintenance issues galore, I do not reccomend

Excellent location and staff were so accommodating and friendly. Older property but clean with good upkeep. Small bath room area with sink that was located more in the kitchenette area. Some type of shelf in that area for toiletries would have been great but we made it work. I would trade the space for the view any day. We will absolutely be back.

Very central area, rooms need to be bigger, no microwave in the rooms, but great fishing can be done on the pier

Check-in staff were super friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and a mini fridge, and room safe. The hotel is in a great location—just a short walk to the beach, pier, and two nearby restaurants. The area is super quiet at night also, even though the setup would make you think you’d be woken by road noise we weren’t, was able to sleep in both days. Just a heads-up: one of the restaurants has more of a bar vibe and may not be the best choice for families. The hotel had most of the basics, but be aware that they do not provide body wash, shampoo, or conditioner. If you’re someone who usually depends on hotel toiletries, be sure to bring your own. I thought I had packed mine but hadn’t, and I was surprised to find none in the room. My son joked that it’s because it’s a motel, not a hotel—lol! There’s an ice machine on the property, along with a washer and dryer in the same room. Interestingly, there was also a microwave in that area—but not in our room. It would’ve been convenient to have one in the room, especially for quick snacks or to reheat food. Overall, it was a good stay. My favorite part was definitely the short walk to the beach and pier—it made the whole trip feel relaxing and easy.

A much needed respite My husband recently passed and my family desperately needed some down time. We got that in spades at Ocean Crest. Extremely clean..nice pool and very short walk to the beach and the pier. The only snag we hit was quickly handled by maintenence with a smile. We will be back

Worth the Money for a Oceanfront Motel. Friendly and the room was Spotless. The restaurant next door ( Island way ) was fabulous. Their is a pier right next door. We loved the stay and will be be our Motel of choice when we return...

This is a really cute motel that is right on the beach. We had a standard room that came with a Queen bed. The room was small but very clean. If you aren't an ocean swimmer, the pool was very nice. My only complaint was that the room wasn't dark enough for me to sleep. The lights outside (for safety) showed around the edges of the curtains and the room was bright enough to easily walk around without turning on a light. Otherwise, a great place to stay
