For the reasonable cost, this property and room were wonderful. You don't pay extra for services, so you get exactly what is stated. The room was a great location and it was very clean. I've paid way more to stay in rooms in Ocean Shores that weren't as nice. I'd come back!

Second time here, will be back

Beds great, somewhat funky in a good way, keurig, mini frig, lots of pillow, great value, immediate hot shower and free parking. Plus pizza place next door and walking distance to convention center and beach. Bring your own beach chairs and blankets.

We enjoyed our stay at the Wanderlust Inn. Check in was simple, the room was well-renovated, and the beach/restaurants etc. were so close! We were able to ditch the car and walk everywhere. The room became quite warm and stuffy, so we appreciated having the fan, but A/C wouldve been better. We would stay here again, especially for the affordable price.

Close to the beach and shops, also dining options. Problems getting TV channels. Also could have used a box of kleenex.😊 Would stay again in a heartbeat.

I was stuck in the room for the whole duration pretty much because of chemo and I was sick. But having the breakfast place next door and the pizza place on the other side was definitely handy for me. Good breakfast and the people were awesome. Also the people at the Wunderlust we're very forgiving for me. I had a bad night the night before we left. It was hard for me to get ready and packed up to leave and they extended my stay until 12:00 instead of 11:00 to help me and my wife out for packing everything up and getting out of there.

Pros: Providing microwave, hair dryer and disposable cups. Easy check-ins, excellent customer service via call/text. Convenient parking - we parked directly in front of the room on ground level. Cons: There is no air conditioner and the fan in the room is quite dusty. The wireless charger and the charger ports from the desk lamp are not working.

Our stay was good. We were in room #2, Captains Quarters. The property was nicely updated and clean. We enjoyed the kitchen a lot, there was a variety of cookware and bakeware as well as utensils available to cook for a large family. However it was tight for two people to cook in the space. The site listed the room as having 2 bathrooms, this was a bit misleading as there was one full bath and one half bath. Only one shower for 7 people was a bit rough but we made it work. The bathrooms were clean but there was some mildew in the caulking. The upstairs loft contained one double bed and a small sofa bed. It was very hot and muggy upstairs when we arrived and there are no windows, and no thermostat upstairs, but fans were provided. It was cool when we were there, around 60 most days, and the loft cooled down at night, most nights. There were also no outlets by the bed in the loft. The dining room table seats 6 so if you have a large party some will have to sit at the bar, this was fine for meals but a bit more difficult when playing games as a family. The living space is quite small. There is free onsite laundry which was very helpful. The laundry area contained a ton of games and puzzles to borrow as well as extra towels, toilet paper, etc. This was very nice and made us feel welcome and at home. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the location was great, and it was a very good value for the price.
