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.

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!!

Wonderful
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oceaneer. The location is perfect — right on the beach with quick and easy access. The pool is a great complement and there are many wonderful amenities — from bicycles to lattes. You can tell everything has been beautifully renovated and updated and we were uber impressed with the Pottery Barn towels. We would absolutely stay here again.
(Our only small challenge was the super gushy mattress. We just personally prefer a firmer sleep situation. But that’s not a make or break for us.)

The room did not have curtains, only interior shutters that allowed a lot of light in at night. The mini fridge also puts off a lot of light since the entire door illuminates. The AC wasn't adjustable. The facility was new and well stocked, but these issues made it difficult to sleep and we left feeling drained.

Exceeded all expectations!
A uniquely remodeled hotel just steps away from the beach! Our double queen deluxe room was very comfortable and clean. Absolutely love the remodel choices and decor! Pool is nice too! Highly recommend!
