This is our second time staying at OceanView, and we absolutely enjoyed our stay! 😊 The place is clean, the amenities are great, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Plus, the view is beautiful! 🌊 sea lions and seals are just by the dock in front of the hotel. It’s also very close to a great crabbing area, which made our stay even more fun. 🦀 If you’re lucky enough to catch some crab, you can even cook it right in your room! They have a convenient mini kitchen—just bring your favorite seasonings and ingredients. We had another wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back again! Highly recommend OceanView for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. ❤️
