Oceanview Lodge - Saint Augustine

Great location

Liked: We liked that you were basically as close as you could get to the beach as possible in this area. You just have to cross one tiny street/ beach parking to start walking up the little boardwalk that takes you to the beach. The building is 3 stories tall and we were on the second floor. The view of the ocean, while not unobstructed due to the pavillion in front of us ( and palm trees! :D), was still great. It was a large room and the price compared to other beach front hotels was phenomenal. The refrigerator worked great. The staff was very friendly. We were hoping to check in early, but I forgot to request this at booking and they weren't able to accommodate. They did however still let us park in the lot (so we could head to the beach) and let us know when our room was ready.
Disliked: The building feels dated and in need of better house keeping. Our sink didn't drain, there was a long piece of hair and sand in the corner of the bathroom, there was a bit of dirt on the shower curtain, and the top bed sheet was bright white, but the bottom one was yellowed even though it smelled clean. It didn't feel dirty overall, but there were those issues. Since we were only there for one day, I wanted to maximize my beach time and be able to see the ocean before we left in the morning. For only one night and being right on the beach, I wasn't going to complain! I could see it being great for a family with how much room there was.
