“Perfect Vacation Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

My sister and I enjoyed the superior hospitality of this darling boutique hotel in mid October 2012. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family by Philip and all the rest of the wonderful staff and guests. Every request we made was addressed immediately, and if they could not help out directly, they would make phone calls or search the internet for us. Our room was an upstairs queen studio that was perfect for our five night stay. Very cozy, comfortable, clean, and surprisingly quiet. The entire property is a tropical oasis with many varieties of blooming plants and swaying palms and several secluded areas to relax alone or visit with the other guests. The beach is a very short walk away on a less crowded stretch of the broadwalk right by Hollywood North Beach Park. There is so much to see and do in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond – this is the perfect location to call home-base. We rode the trolley, visited the Hard Rock casino, drove down to Key Largo, took the water taxi to Fort Lauderdale, and of course had many nice walks on the beach. We both hope to go back to our home away from home and will recommend this unique hotel to anyone travelling to this part of Florida. Thank you Philip and all the other wonderful people who made our vacation perfect!

“Cute, affordable, great location in Hollywood FL!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

My husband and I just stayed at this quaint little place for the last 2 days of our honeymoon and just loved it. Its nothing fancy or high class but IS a cute, well taken care of, laid back and beachy feel, it was just our style! Its family owned and ran and the manager is great, he even put rainbow sherbet in our freezer waiting for us upon our arrival (as requested by my husband, its my favorite!). Our room was the perfect size studio with a good size bathroom and kitchen, they have done a great job setting up the kitchen with everything you need for staying at the beach for a couple days (oven, toaster, full size fridge and freezer, utensils, dishes, knives, ice cream scoop, can opener, etc). They have also done a great job setting up the patio/lounge area. The hotel is in a square shape with the inside of the square structure open with lots of plants, decks, patios and tables/chairs set up, great beach feel! They also provide beach towels and beach chairs to borrow for the day. It also is the perfect location, a 30 second walk to the beach! The other great part about this place is how close it is to the boardwalk where you can experience Hollywood beach strip to the fullest! There are tons of great restaurants and bars with in walking distance (1 mile or less) of Ocean Inn, including Le Tub (votes nations #1 burger last year, we went and loved it!). Ocean Inn also provides a great continental breakfast, which is unusual for little hotel/inns such as this one. If you're looking for an affordable, down to earth, well taken care of, and clean place with a great location in hollywood FL near the beach, this is the place to stay! There isn't a pool or fitness center, but who needs it when you are a 30 second walk from the beach!

“Great place to stay on Hollywood Beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Lovely and comfortable spot near the beach. Phillip is absolutely wonderful and a very fun and engaging host! Although not in the middle of all the beach activity, that is a plus as it is very quiet at night. Nice comfortable outdoor seating to have a drink and relax. Plus the office offers beer and wine for your convenience. I will be staying at Ocean Inn anytime my travels take me to Hollywood! Prices are very good here as well.

Room Tip: Upstairs room is spacious and has a kitchen.

“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Spent three nights at this modest but charming accommodation. The grounds are nicely landscaped with comfortable outdoor seating, and it's about 100 steps to a clean and not-too-crowded beach with warm and clear blue-green water. The room had a fridge, microwave, a (currently not working) 2-burner stovetop, and all the cooking basics including utensils, plates, etc. The air conditioner worked well as did the tv -- lots of cable stations; a smaller but easily visible set. Lots of hot water for the shower. Overall very clean establishment; washer and dryer available for the guests. Bed was on the firm side but I like it that way so no problem for me. A few little glitches were handled quickly and professionally by the ever-cheerful staff. Will definitely return!

Room Tip: I stayed in 17 which provided a quiet and undisturbed sleep.

“Amazing honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012 via mobile

We stayed in a condo at the Ocean Inn and absolutely loved it! The view from our condo was priceless!! It was amazing to wake up every day and look out the window to see the ocean. The condo we rented was literally right on the Broadwalk, and if we had stayed in one of the main facilities rooms the ocean would just be about 100 steps outside of the room. The motel part is very nicely decorated and serene.

What really made the trip was the AWESOME service!! Anytime we needed anything Phillip was there to happily assist us. He gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Upon arrival we were greeted with freshly baked cookies. This was truly a memorable experience and I would recommend the ocean inn to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Hollywood!
