Ocean Palms Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed a single night with our 4 sons (10, 18, 19, 21) and had a great time! We were able to walk to local shops, restaurants, and the beach. Having free access to their beach equipment (surfboards, boogie boards, beach towels), outdoor showers, putput golf, free parking were amenities that set them apart from the rest! While breakfast was very basic, we do plan to stay there again in the future because of its convenient location and being walkable to anything you might need."

"This was a great property in a great location at a very reasonable price. It was convenient to walk the short distance to the beach and to walk to restaurants and shops. We did not have to worry about finding a parking spot since there is an attached garage. The host was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to questions and concerns. We will definitely stay at this property again."
