The staff was nice but I was not aware that the hotel did not have an elevator my friend who has a brace on his leg who has knee problems made it very uncomfortable he had to walk up and down up down the steps. They did not have bottom levels available and when I went into the room the room did not have a microwave nor did the lobby. We had to eat out every single day the although cute was very small. I was charged double on Saturday to my surprise and no staff was able to explain I booked through Expedia they tried to get my refund back and considering I paid over 240 a night it was not worth the stay. The only up side was it was on the beach. One a scale to 1-10 I will give staff a 10 they were friendly but my stayed I rate a 6

Sweet little boutique hotel recently renovated with lots of high-end touches, pool, and direct beach access. No breakfast available, but a killer barista-quality coffee maker in the lobby when the lobby is open. Would suggest that maybe the coffee machine be put in a card access area for early risers seeking caffeine!! Outside of that...no complaints, and would highly recommend this lovely hotel!

We loved our stay here. The renovation back to Mid-Century Modern vibe and decor is excellent. Nice size refrigerator, good quality linens, and Keurig coffee maker among in-room amenities. Staff is responsive and professional. Can't wait to go back!

I liked how close we are to beach. I don’t like how we had to wait until 5pm to get into our room. It was thundering and lightening so we were literally in the hallway for shelter. Also false advertising, there are no chairs to take on beach and no food market at hotel like it’s mentioned on website or welcome email. You have to rent your chairs through a service and it is not included. I thought the cleanliness of room was very good, unfortunately did see a roach on my pillow when I moved it in middle of the night. Overall very upset. As I have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant. There’s no bathroom to change or use bathroom until you go in your hotel room.

Very attractive & clean beachfront hotel. Rooms do not face the ocean but you can see it & it’s literally just over the dune. Staff is friendly, pool is beautiful.

I loved the retro yet updated vibe of this newly renovated hotel. Classic, upscale elements - no kitsch. I stayed in a beautiful king room that had the shortest walk I have ever had to the beach - even for a beach front property. The pool has been refurbished and is amazingly clean. The pool area has white lounge chairs and blue and white beach towels are provided. It's a small hotel but I totally enjoyed not struggling to find a parking space or waiting for the elevator. This place screams boutique (fitness area and coffee bar in the lobby) and I will definitely be coming back to the Oceaneer!

Absolutely beautiful hotel, has been completely remodeled. Beds, sheets and pillows are soft. The showers are nice size, plenty of drawer space, hangers provided. No microwave though. Great smelling and full size shampoo, conditioner and soap provided. They have quiet time from 10p-7a, everyone respects it. Walk straight on to the beach. The pool is amazing, salt water filter, they clean the pool daily. The staff is very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. Only 2 cons to the hotel. 1st no elevator for the top floors but that wouldnt keep me from staying again. We actually booked for next yr already. 2nd is the pool closes at 8pm. If you are on the beach, shopping or fishing, most likely you dont get a chance to enjoy the pool. But not a deal breaker for us.

Our stay at the Oceaneer was fantastic. We only came for one night but it was so convenient and close to the beach. We have a car and the parking was easy, but it is a little farther from the boardwalk/shops and such where you have to pay for parking so I would recommend staying closer to the boardwalk if you want to avoid paying for parking everywhere. They do have bikes at the front but it was wayyyy too hot for that. Beautiful, clean, perfectly renovated hotel. The pool is so relaxing and lots of chairs to lay out. I will be coming back here next time!!

The facility recently opened after an extensive renovation. Excellent in every way! I’ve never stayed directly on oceanfront and I’ll never do otherwise. The price was great! Very nice staff. Very impressed. Great location in a quieter area. No problems to drive and park for dinner. No parking fees charged after 8 pm.
