I'm just goin to say I won't go back nor will I ever recommend and will do everything I can to get others not to go there as well.y 6yr old son dropped his strawberry cake there where few crumbs cream minimal and was charged $278.75 for urine and vomit charge. I am beyond disgusted and furious to put it gently. Money hungry robbers I'm horrified.

Overall great place to stay, beds were comfy and had a great view. I did not like to have to run across the busy traffic to get to the beach. The staff was fantastic and super nice. We had issues with the room keys not working on the 3rd night, they were very prompt in making new cards for us. Breakfast was good and loved the snacks in the lobby. My boys loved all of the games the hotel had to offer.

Ocean Sands Beach Inn is a wonderfully laid back location. Only 15 minutes from St. Augustine attractions, the Inn has a private beach perfect for families - calm, shallow, warm water and a long gently sloping beach. The staff and amenities were fantastic. Beverly at reception made sure everyone was taken care of - popcorn and cookies in the evening and a shuttle to St. Augustine within minutes. If you needed anything, they were willing to get it. Breakfast in the morning was a simple buffet with everything that one might need. A gem of a find.

This is not a boutique hotel experience - even though they charge a hefty resort fee. It is an old motel on A1A with loud traffic with an ocean view. We paid for 2 nights and stayed just the one.

The air conditioning in my room, #115, was not working properly. The room was supposed to have a king bed instead of 2 doubles. I loved the location, the beach was beautiful and the breakfast as well as the coffee and tea available was excellent.
