My stay was amazing. The staff was amazing, always saying hi and asking if we needed anything. Its in a beautifully location, short walk to the beach, very short. Room was very clean and wr had everything we needed. I will definitely book a room here again when im not evacuated from a hurricane.

Just wanted to say thank you so much to DJ and Allison. They are the best!! Hotel is excellent. This is the best spot in the area in my opinion. Highly recommended. Thanks again for your help and time.. You guy's are awesome!!!

Wonderful place

Lovely inn

I absolutely loved staying here! It was so peaceful and nice and quiet! I would definitely stay here again!!!!

Everyone was welcoming and kind. Love the location! The rooms are lovely. All necessities provided.

This property is right by the water and is beautifully renovated. The staff was nice and friendly.

Quaint friendly romantic cottage with a private beach was the best way to end our honeymoon. Spectacular sunrise and sunsets, cherry on top!

Mom and I loved everything, we did not want to leave. The room, view and the breakfast was perfect. All of the staff were exceptional and helpful. We will be here again, thanks for making our vacation enjoyable and relaxing!

Comfortable beds, fabulous shower, friendly staff, great location, private beach, gorgeous view.

The place is adorable and the location is perfect. The ocean with a private beach in directly across the street.

You will experience a beautifully updated, dream-like setting at Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn! The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! You are treated as their special guest in all ways! My favorite was the text message reminding us not to miss the fresh- baked cookies & popped popcorn at 5:00 PM!

This property is a former motel that has been renovated to fit current aesthetics. Its clean, quiet and has 24hr beach access. It allows dogs, but their pet policy is incomplete online. Call and ask for it because you will have to sign it when you check in and it includes some potential fees. They did welcome my pup with several milk bones and do have areas for dogs to use. Beach access is also dog friendly. Laundry was advertised but we were told laundry could not be accomodated. Next morning, I saw them accomodate someone else's just fine. There are a lot of fees associated with booking and late check out depending on time of late check out. I did receive several message from managent checking in with us about our stay and one afterwards asking for a review in exchange for the parking fee to be waived. Dogs are also an additional fee plus fees for other things as well.

Great location, great staff, good for a beach stay. High fees be aware when you book.

To many hidden fees "Services Fee" as they call them parking fee ..breakfast fee .. fee for charging electric vehicle we so not have ..24 hr beach access just not worth the cost. Mantance working on Friday night till 6 pm next to our room.

Close to the beach

We stayed at this hotel for a family wedding. The hotel was quaint, clean and staff was amazing. We loved the little perks like cookies and popcorn each afternoon. The beach was beautiful and literally right across the street. The only reason I am not giving this a 5 may be kind of silly, but worth mentioning. I ordered a $10 bottle of champagne and was charged $98 for it! I wasn't informed of the price (though I probably should have asked) and thought that was a tad overboard. Otherwise, great stay.

Thanks

Loved my stay at Ocean Sands. Beautiful room that was clean and well maintained. Great access to the beach and close to restaurants. But best of all, the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back!

Mainly the construction that was going on that we didn’t know that was going on prior to our arrival making it difficult to maneuver during breakfast time. Only other issues was the shower didn’t have a temperature knob so we couldn’t adjust the temperature, but as soon as we told the front desk, maintenance fixed it. After we returned from our day, maintenance did manage to lock us out of our room but yet again the front desk made sure to take care of it right away. I do recommend fabric softener for the towels and linen. Besides that our stay was pretty good.

The location is perfect. Really glad we found this place.

In the middle of remodeling. Lots of noise. Would not have picked this place

Love the seclusion

Under construction. Staff really great

What a clean friendly and comfortable place to stay . Very nice 😊 will stay again and recommend to everyone.

Views here were amazing!! This place is a gem!! Staff was super helpful and nice!! Small hotel great for couples and families!!!

Nice, quite,easy walk to beach,stores close by.

The property was extremely nice and well kept! Every staff member i came into contact with was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again.

Easy beach access

Even though I booked two queen beds with a balcony, the king bed room was nice, bed was comfortable and had easy acess to the beach. I was satisfied.

Second time I have stayed here in last month or so. It’s always something. This place the first time way overcharged me for my room but I was in a crisis as my house had a serious condition to where I had to immediately leave and couldn’t get to my house rental u til the next day. This time, the rate was 1/10 of the last time but still annoying. The rate was x then they tried to charge me all sorts of fees so in other words they published a low rate and then tried to screw me by charging me for breathing. On the positive side, the hotel is right across from the beach with a “private” beach, super nice, the pool is nice and it’s actually in a good spot. The shower is ridiculous. I pulled off the handle both times I stayed there bc it’s the stupidest non intuitive shower mixing valve ever. Also first time, they told me to go up on the left bc they were doing renovations (this seems to be a trend) and did not tell me they had painted the railings so I got blue paint on me 3 times before I realized this. I looked like I belonged in blue man group. Go that way because we’ve demolished this way and don’t worry about the fresh paint on the handrail.

The additional fees this property charges are ridiculous, especially charging more to customers that book through third parties such as Expedia. I would not have found the property if it wasn’t for Expedia. The hotel is trying to be a boutique upscale property, but falls short in several ways. They have a bit of an identity crisis. They need to embrace an upscale and sophisticated atmosphere with a relaxed and cozy vibe. Cleanliness could be better. Everything is in the small details. Shortcuts are taken in some areas, and it’s noticeable. They need to embrace a tropical/Florida vibe with decor, and not take shortcuts with things like patio chairs (arms on backwards), and cheap exterior lighting. The bathroom door appears to have been made by hotel maintenance, and it’s not put on correctly, and the handles are not practical. Have a full length mirror in the room, and have four pillows per bed, not three. Focus on service, and don’t charge or over charge for things like umbrellas and chairs when you’re charging a high service charge/fee. The pool is way too warm. It’s not refreshing at all. The property could also have better breakfast choices with more protein choices and perhaps some fresh cut fruit or fresh berries, etc. They seem to want to do better and be better, but something is hindering it, and it always starts from the top. Some changes in direction could make this property very nice. The beach location is nice, as is the close proximity to downtown St. Augustine.
