Our door needed to be slammed to shut it, other than that the stay was cozy, clean and reasonably priced.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure my family had a great stay. Answered every question and provided any accommodations very quickly. The pool was very clean and well kept. Pool towels were readily accessible and with fewer guests on this property, it was a calm and quiet pool. The walk to the beach is right in the backyard and absolutely beautiful. In mid July it was perfect weather and never overcrowded. The locals are welcoming and friendly. Minutes from great scenery, a fishing pier, aquarium, great eats (Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar) and even an arcade. My stay was three nights and I will go back to The Oceaneer next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend.

Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oceaneer. The location is perfect — right on the beach with quick and easy access. The pool is a great complement and there are many wonderful amenities — from bicycles to lattes. You can tell everything has been beautifully renovated and updated and we were uber impressed with the Pottery Barn towels. We would absolutely stay here again. (Our only small challenge was the super gushy mattress. We just personally prefer a firmer sleep situation. But that’s not a make or break for us.)

Loved all the the new updates to the hotel. Very chic, beautiful and comfortable rooms. The location was great and the access to the beach and pool was amazing. Just a couple of notes that would have made our stay excellent: We got back one night around 11pm and there was no parking for us. The front office was locked and noone was working. There were 3 cars that did not have a visible parking pass. With it being advertised as parking is included, they should ensure there are enough spots for their customers. Other than that, we also never had room service come by our room during our stay. But everything else was great!

Newly remodeled, the location is great with beach access and a pool. Our room was newly furnished but the bed corner on my side next to the bathroom kept poking my leg (causing a cut). No closet with a door. Good room condiments ( coffee etc). No soap dish in shower. No tub. TV was up to date. Phone couldn’t reach front desk. But we enjoyed the location.
