The ocean was visible from our room. The room was "older" but clean and a great location. We added another night because we loved hearing the waves crash on the beach! Will stay again.

This quaint beach hotel was everything the doctor ordered. Reasonably priced, right on the ocean. The room was comfortable, good shower. My only drawback was the mattress was a hard sleep. We could feel the springs and all woke up a little sore. The room was very clean and modern. Nice having the pier so close. The restaurant was good but quite pricey, better meals can be found inland .

The motel was clean, staff friendly and parking was free and plentiful. Our view was from the side of the hotel but it was fine. Conveniently located and quiet. We had never been to Oak Island and I’m glad we decided to go! Our room was newly renovated and while there was not a lot of extra amenities, it was more than enough for our basic needs. Someone had mentioned in another review that there was no shampoo/conditioner/lotion and I found that to be helpful and I was prepared. The pier beside of the motel cost $2 a person to go out on and the restaurant was very good as well. Overall a wonderful experience and we are planning on returning!
