I stayed there because Expedia had a 9.0 rating. How they came up with that is beyond me. It was an average, at 7 best. A 1960s motel with mostly original furnishings. The more I use Expedia, the more reminded I am that I should use someone else

Nice place in a nice location.
Right on the beach. Decent amenities, real close to everything! Nice little fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Nice pool, and nice path to beach. I think my favorite thing was the broom and dustpan to sweep up the sand from outside, what a nice touch.

We were greeted by Shirley - what an awesome, friendly hostess. All of the staff was friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We did not get to use the pool due to time, but looked very inviting and clean. Easy access to the beach. We had a great stay.

Clean spacious rooms. Small bathroom
Cleanest hotel in OOB! Newly renovated rooms. Spacious room with fridge, keurig, bureau, desk and 2 sitting chairs. Bathroom was unfortunately very tiny. You can hear a lot of stomping overhead in rooms above. Ugh! They offer coffee at front desk starting at 8am. Best front desk clerk! A pleasure meeting Shirley. We just love her. We will be choosing On The Beach on our future OOB trips.

A Gem Among Rhinestones
This motel is a gem. Close enough to the action but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are nicely decorated and extremely clean. Little extras like a microwave, good size refrigerator and broom and dustpan for the inevitable beach sand make this stand out. We stay in about a dozen hotels/motels a year so we know a good place when we find one. The fact that we stayed here twice this year says it all. JJ the owner and Shirley at the desk are the piece de resistance that make this place special.

The room was spacious - first floor and easily accessible for my 87 year old mom. However there was no couch or coffee table in front area so you couldn’t watch TV/read with your feet up. Or socialize. There was another tv in bedroom area but that was right next to air conditioner and when that was running it was really hard to hear TV. We have stayed at other rooms here and much more Comfortable. Bathroom was tight squeeze too

The property is nice and very convenient to various restaurants & souvenier shops. Its a few steps to the beach. The carnival and arcades are walking distance. Staff, and special mention to our new friend Shirley, are super nice. The room is clean. The outdoor pool is right in front of the property. There is plenty to entertain your children. There is microwave, refrigerator, Keurig & ice. The only thing I can say is, the shower is tiny so just be mindful of that if you are on the taller & bigger side. Other than that, our overall stay is wonderful.

For the price it was good, near the beach and an easy access. My only complaint are the beds. They are clean but the mattress is just as hard as a rock.
