This is a small friendly place on the west side of A1A just a mile north of bridge to mainland. Rooms are small but adequate, however if one is seated at the desk another has to climb on the bed to get to the bathroom. The breakfast is ok, but the dining room is so small that the folks sitting... More

First off, let me say that I am a travel agent and I am always on the lookout for exceptional accommodations for my clients and the Ocean Sands is now on my radar. It's hard to find a nice place that lets you bring your pet, but our little doggie loved it too. They have a nice wooden walkway across... More

This is a small but lovely hotel just north of Saint Augustine. It has a private beach which is very quiet. It's a great place to pick up shells or get your feet wet! The staff are very friendly! Beverly showed me the room I've already booked for next year and its awesome...complete with an ocean view, balcony and a... More

We arrived Saturday, May 4th, after they had had monsoon-like contions. There was only a ground floor on the ICWW side, which is nice, we just wanted to see the ocean from the room. The next day they went out of their way, above and beyond my expectations, and got us in an ocean-front room. The hotel is in the... More

This older property has been kept up real well and is safe and clean. The cancelation policy is very strict so make sure you are aware of this. A little off the track but that lends itself well to a leisurely stay with an uncrowned beach. Be aware that during busy periods nearby restaurants will be packed and waits are... More

After 8hrs travelling we arrived at this hotel during the evening. It took ages to book in even though all had been prepaid. The lady on the desk seemed confused about our booking. She took our credit card details "just in case we burnt the hotel down"!!? We had 2 rooms on the ground floor. The smell was awful. The... More

Thank you for your comments and I take full responsibility for the poor treatment you received I sincerely apologize for your experience. I am somewhat surprised by your comments and I can assure you they will be addressed with the front desk. Since my arrival at the hotel at the end of March, there have been a number of upgrades...

I would never recommend this place to anyone ..don't be fooled by their cheap price. The location is not bad, but know that the rooms don't have an ocean view as they claim, its more a of a noisy road view for the second floor; the first floor has no view. the rooms are nasty, they smell really bad, and...

I read the reviews after placing our reservation and decided we would judge for ourselves. If your clothes care whether they stay in a drawer from 1960 or 1970, then don't stay here; ours did not. The rooms, yes are dated but clean;no bad smell, no bugs, no noise! Yes, the pool is small and surrounded by the guests cars,... More
