Lovely boutique hotel. Bed comfort was excellent! We were there in low season & less staff around. We had access to everything we needed. Great coffee in the lobby. Great beach access. We enjoyed the garden & outside seating areas around fire pits. There is so much attention to detail at this hotel.

I HATE staying in hotels and it takes a lot for me to not think the room is "disgusting' or "gross" and The Oceaneer was none of these things. The room and bathroom were spotless and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

What a great location! My family and I were so pleased with your property and the lovely room we stayed in. The proximity to the beach, the cleanliness of the room and the overall appeal of your site made for a memorable stay. It was particularly pleasing to have a roaring fire displayed on the tv just waiting for us when we checked in! Thank you again for all the attention to the small details that made our stay perfect.

The hotel was great. Wished the pool area was open even if it was to just use the lounge chairs. Also, in the pictures it looks like there is a deck to sit on by your room but there is not. Lots of great places to eat and shops to go to.
