We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Palms Beach Resort! The property was well maintained and clean! The ambiance in the evening was great; the tiki torches and fire pits gave a Polynesian feel! The very close proximity to the beach is a highlight as well! We are already planning our next stay at the Ocean Palms Beach Resort!!

My husband and I had a great 3 night stay at the end of a 2 week roadtrip. The king bed was very comfortable & the room was clean and beautiful. We were on the 2nd floor and we could see the ocean from our window & balcony even though we didn't request an ocean view! The kitchen was a bonus with a full fridge, oven, stove and coffee maker. (Note: there was no microwave in the room). We enjoyed the coffee in the office and the snack and juice options. The beach chairs, umbrella and towels are a great benefit for enjoying the beach. We didn't use our car at all during our stay as everything is close & very walkable. Parking can be difficult with only a few parking spaces in the resort. Parking on the street was not too bad even on the weekend, it just takes a little patience. We will definitely be back!
