Ocean Crest Review

We booked a stay last min. It was right across from the water and we were lucky enough to see tons of seals! Dee’s Bar and Grill was just a couple min walk down the road. Excellent yummy food. The room was great! Nice and clean, and the beds were so so comfy. The pillows felt like clouds. Would definitely recommend for a comfy stay.

An older, affordable and well kept motel close to the ocean. Staff are friendly and rooms are very clean. A small kitchenette with fridge allows for a quick breakfast or snack. Have stayed several times and will do so again.
