The Ocean View Inn

This is not a fancy motel, but it is a hidden gem. There are only 8 rooms so if you want to stay here you need to book early. You can park right outside your room. The rooms have a sliding door to the back that leads to your own patio with a walkway to the pool. Pool area is nice with lounge chairs, tables, and unbrellas. Rooms are perfect with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The beds are comfortable. . Tiki sports bar attached has great food and drinks. This is a local hang out so you get to meet some fun people.

Check in and check out can be difficult since there is no lobby or hotel office. You have to go to the restaurant.

We stayed just one night, as an overnight break driving up from Key West. The location is very convenient, directly off the highway. It is more of a small motel than a hotel, but we enjoyed our stay. The outside bar and restaurant have a nice, friendly atmosphere and we had a good meal. We also liked the pool, and being able to walk down to the jetty to view the sunset. We thought the price was good, within the context that we found Florida generally pretty expensive!

The flipside of the convenience of being just off the highway is that the location is just off the highway! So there is some road noise, but not enough to bother us

location, food, decent value

certain staff member weren’t the friendliest

Nice, small pool and good outdoor bar area. Boardwalk out to the Gulf (but no beach or swimming area). Rooms were big enough to be comfortable. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Road noise and outdoor signage lights were a little distracting until 11 PM or later. No glassware, silverware, microwaveable cups despite having a refrigerator, microwave and a sink in the bedroom. Bed wasn’t made properly and there was a used bar of soap still in the shower.

I love everything about the property. I love how the back patio was enclosed but open as well. I love the outside shower, so convenient. The staff was amazing and funny and attentative. The pool was awesome. The room was spacious. I loved how it had a little sink next to the microwave. I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone I know. One of the best things about is that its about 100yards north of Theater of the Sea. Perfection

I loved the room and it's surroundings. Everything was clean and nicely decorated.

There wasn't anyone there for hotel guests. There's only the ladies inside the restaurant. They were already so busy and they didnt have time to really acknowledge me or answer the only question I had. So before you go, know that there's only wi-fi in the restaurant.

Great place. We had dinner there the night before and booked for the following night while we were there. William the bartender was super friendly and welcoming. The night we stayed was steak night- AMAZING!

The people in the room next door talked all night- but not the hotels fault. I wish we had another day to stay and enjoy the pool and amenities.

The room was big and clean. It has a nice little sink and refrigerator area. The bathroom was nice. The bed was comfortable. The pool was beautiful,we had a nice swim. There is an outside shower too. The grounds are beautiful.

Some kind of breakfast would have been nice. The bar opens at 11am. The person next to us played their tv really loud!!

Very large room with a walkout to our own patio and then to the pool area and water. Had a good restaurant and tiki attached with lively music in the afternoon and evening. Located almost across the street from Theater of the Sea where we spent the day. That was an accident. Had lots of parking.

Ice bucket had a hole in the inner lining so ice melted between the inside lining and the outside. Can not register until the restaurant opens for lunch.

We did not have breakfast. We did have lunch and dinner and appetizers and they were great. The atmosphere was awesome.

The only thing that could be better would be a ceiling fan which I know that is not possible. We will bring a stand up fan next time.
