Great room, great beachside. Reasonably cheap if a beach view isn’t that important and you don’t mind walking 100 yard to the beach. Definitely a good cheap, beach weekend idea.

We had an amazing stay at Ocean Sands! The location couldn’t be better — breakfast right on the beach with beautiful views every morning. 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

This property is a very good unique experience. our room was on the 1st floor. It was wonderful to sit just outside our room to see all of the amenities available in the rear of the property and see people coming and going. We will definitely stay there again, when we are in the area. We are from outside of Atlanta.

One of the main reasons we booked this place was that it said we'd get a welcome drink and free gift upon check-in. When I asked about these amenities, they looked at me like I had two heads. Felt like false advertising right off the bat. Bed had dried blood on the sheets - when we told the front desk, they said, "You had blood on your sheets, too?" Who else had blood?!?
