A very nice spot, and it was "on the beach". We could walk from our cabin to the beach in about 30 seconds. Staff was friendly and our room was clean, and nice. Will probably stay again next year

Perfect location, comfortable beds, friendly staff
We had a wonderful stay at « On the Beach » we visited OOB in the past but definitely found in this Motel a perfect institution that will become our destination when visiting OOB. The location is perfect, not too far from the pier and all the activities but still pretty quiet, steps from the beach, the facility is spotless and the staff is very friendly. All the amenities are there; the heated pool, the hose and shower to remove any sand, comfortable beds even a BBQ for when you don’t feel like eating out. Will definitely recommend and return to this perfect location!

Super cute and clean. The property had been updated and the owner did a great job. Work station in front of the window with an ocean view would be great for those who work away from home. Bed super comfortable and separated from main living space, like a mini suite. Owner super friendly.

We had a wonderful time at this location and will definitely be back. Our room was fantastic - very clean and updated. "On the Beach" literally means on the beach which was exactly what we were looking for. Our son also loved the heated pool! It was a very family friendly choice and we couldn't have been any happier! The walk into town for restaurants/The Pier/rides was quick and easy which was super helpful with a little one. If you're looking for a quiet couples get away, this probably isn't the best choice for you in the summer due to all the families/kiddos and the noise level. We loved the family vibe and all the kids so it was perfect for us! The beach itself was beautiful - soft sand, virtually no rocks or shells, nice waves but not too rough and just steps from the room to the beach!

I loved that we were right on the beach and I had asked if we could have a room facing the ocean and they did give us one. The room was clean. There were only two chairs and one desk chair so I do think that at least a love seat would have been nice. The bathroom was tiny but we managed fine. A second shelf to put stuff on would have been good. Three women in one bathroom with only one shelf was not enough for all our stuff! The beds were comfortable. The heated pool was also great. One day the waves at the beach were just too big so having the pool was perfect.
