From the reviews
We’ve been staying here for years, and it never disappoints. The rooms are cozy and have all the amenities you’d need. Great view of the ocean, and right off the beach. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Very reasonable prices for the location. Always clean and well maintained rooms.
Rosie was EXCELLENT, she was cleaning rooms and making sure us and other customers were still attended to. This is such a beautiful hotel . It’s very clean this is our second stay here . It’s very quiet , safe , and in an AMAZING location. The interior design in the rooms is just so perfect.
"PENTHOUSE" visit...very , very nice. View was amazing from balcony. Being on 3rd floor had to wait a little for hot water to reach the bathroom sink, and shower, but the quantity lasted for a long time. Would recommend, absolutely, but there are a couple of long stairwell to get to b Pentouse.
Getting married at Ocean View Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
