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!

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.

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.

The cigarette smoke was very strong in our room until 2am so it was coming in from another room somehow. There were questionable people around the front door asking for money. It was scary!

Very dirty, very disgusting mold smells of cigarettes many broken or missing items. So bad that even though I checked in at mid night I booked and left for another hotel getting there at 1am after a full day of travel. Should of gotten a full refund but didn’t even want to stay any longer than I had to.
