We keep coming back to the Sands because they treat us like family. My boyfriend and I have stayed here about 6 times in the past year & a half. We prefer an ocean-view smoking king with a kitchenette, and we've gotten it for as little as $59/night (winter weekend). We usually stay two nights... go out on the town... more

I recently took my family down to Ocean Shores for a weekend getaway. I was expecting to spend alot of money on a room after calling several of the chain hotels. It was to my surprise that The Sands was able to cut me a deal totalling over $80 off the regular rate, which was $100 cheaper than all the... more

I have stayed at the Sands for the past 9 years, every March we go. I LOVE the sands. The value for your dollar is worth it. They have a pool for my kids and I to play in. The "continental" breakfast leaves something to be desired, and definatly bring your own water, or buy a big jug of it... more

Great Service, great time. The kids loved the beach, the pool, the room. We cooked a full dinner for the family in our room and then lit a fire and watched a movie. Everything is in walking distance and the staff is very friendly and easy going. Our family had a great vacation here. It's not the posh resort on... more

We have stayed at the Sands Resort two years in a row and we look forward to our stay again next year. It is the Beach for goodness sakes and it is reasonable and convenient and they take pets. It has a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. Where else can you go for all this and with your pets... more

If you're looking for luxury, keep looking. But if you want clean, comfortable, close to everything, views of the ocean, and friendly staff, this is your place. This is our second time staying in one of the kitchenette + king bed rooms, and we lucked out with a third floor room which had wonderful ocean views. My daughter loves the... more
