Stayed in March 2013 for one week. Standard double bed motel room with little refrigerator but no microwave. Friendly staff. No problems with hotel or management. Pay the extra money and get a private oceanfront balcony, it is beautiful. The Island Way restaurant next door is delicious, yet pricey. Had the best oysters-yum! Plus, I got a coupon from the...

I loved staying at ocean crest motel. The people were friendly, the service was great, and thew view was amazing. I'm certainly making this the place to stay for my yearly trips to the beach. I really liked that it was easy access to the beach, and that you could walk to the pier and restaurants, everything was so nice... More

Staff and owner are excellent. The older section of the motel where we stayed needs updating. No thrills. The view was great if you have a balcony room. Room was very clean just needs physical improvements for sure.

The room was average, no frills. Clean but dated. We stayed in the yellow building, not facing the ocean. Ocean side rooms have a great view! The pier is right here also.(It cost $ 1 to get out on the pier) If you like fishing this is a good pick. If you are a high maintenance girl this might not... More

My wife and I stayed recently at this nice ocean front motel on our trip back north for the summer. We stayed in the blue building on the top floor. The view was fantastic and the staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The staff also appear to be up dating and repairing as needed. The restaurant next... More

Stayed at Ocean View during January 2013 (first time visit). Stay was great, front desk was very good and helpful. But very much enjoyed the view of the ocean and the Pier. Will definitely stay here again. Mike V, Harrisonburg VA

The staff at front desk were friendly, courteous, helpful and gave us good information about the area. Our room was on the back of the green building with stunning beach views. It was clean and bright... More

We reserved a room for two nights. When we arrived the lady at the front desk was less than friendly. We got an inventory of everything in that limited room, even the plastic ice bucket, so we needed to make sure we did not walk out with any of those listed items. That was sure handy. We found out our... More

Great room! Great price! Friendly staff! Sherry at the front desk went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable. When you are working on the road (I'm from Texas) it's nice to run into friendly people. I would definitely stay here again. I love this place! 5 stars!
