We shared a friends' timeshare. They used the Saturday through Monday and went Tuesday through Saturday. We weren't hassled at all about listening to the timeshare pitch. It was suggested but that was the end of that.

There is a start up pack for the kitchen including paper towels, dish washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, dish cloth and dish towel, a roll of paper towels and a supply of beach towels so you don't have to think about bringing these items. No big deal except I wouldn't have taken those items. Also there is a hair dryer and an iron/ironing board. Beach chairs are available for a daily fee, Wi-Fi also available with a $5 daily fee but is free in the lobby. Parking is free with the pass they give you at check in, otherwise it is $10 a day and the garage is about 1/2 block from the OBC. (Ocean Beach Club). (You can buy the beach towels for $25)

The in room jacuzzi tub was very nice. The suite was clean and nicely laid out. We had a one bedroom unit with ocean view on the 13th floor. I think the unit we had was called ocean view queen suite. The first unit to the east is oceanfront, then a ocean view unit and then the unit we had behind the 2nd unit. They also have city view only units.

The kitchen is well stocked with glassware, flatware and anything you would need to do a little bit of cooking. Mostly we ate breakfast cereal at the suite and ate out at various places in the area.

The coffee provided is not the best. And if you take your own coffee, you need to take coffee filters. However, there is a restaurant across the street and to the North directly across from Oceanaire that has breakfast foods and coffee, Pocahontas is the name of the restaurant. (Large for $1.75). There was coffee available to buy at the in hotel restaurant. Prices were decent, coffee was just so so. They don't serve the coffee until 8:30 a.m. They also have a very limited breakfast menu.

Just one block down on the boardwalk going South is the 33rd Street Cafe, oceanfront outdoor seating for lunch and dinner (Dinner wasn't being served during our off season stay). We are lunch there one day and the prices were reasonable and the food was very good.

We walked a lot and shopped some, sat on the beach, walked the boardwalk. You can't beat the location. Catch 31 Restaurant and Neptunes is close by and to the South but we didn't try those out. There is also an on site restaurant. We didn't try it either but wish we had. It was always busy, a good sign of good food/beverages.

We did swim around a little in the outdoor pool. I was disappointed that there wasn't a hot tub in the indoor pool. I think the one section was supposed to be a hot tub but it was opened up into the regular pool section. But that wasn't a problem since there was an in room jacuzzi. However, other reviews that I have read state the OBC guests can use the Oceanaire hot tub.

There is one elevator at OBC that the door closes rather quickly. It's the one that is first on the left side going from the lobby area. Just be careful.

We had no problems with the room or housekeeping, etc. We got exchange of towels on Thursday and asked for extra wash cloths and that wasn't any problem. If you want clean/new towels daily, there is a fee. If you get towels every other day, there isn't a fee.

The pillows were a little lumpy. I was wishing we had taken our own pillows. Otherwise the furnishings were satisfactory.

We would stay here again, given the opportunity. The ocean view room was satisfactory considering our use arrangement. There wasn't any chair on the small balcony but I understand that is because of safety issues.

If you want to use the washer/dryer units, they are located on the even floors and are paid machines, which is fine if you have the $1.50 and $1 for using them.

They are not accommodating! They lie they don't try and fix a problem their answer is no for everything. Don't bother asking for the general manager they will tell you they can't reach him. He must not have a cell phone! This is 2012 everyone can be reached!!! Did I mention this is my first wedding anniversary??!! NO that doesn't matter NO they didn't do anything nice! YES I put it in the comments YES I called and asked if the room was ocean front YES I got here and I'm looking at a parking lot YES I can see the ocean if I HANG off the the balcony. YES the manager tried to up sell to me to solve the issue NO I'm not paying more for your mistake!!!

We have a family vacation here at least every couple of years. This year has been a lot of fun, especially because the kids are older and can enjoy more things independently. The beach and boardwalk are close, the view is amazing, the pools are warm and clean, and the bathtubs are big. What more could you want? My only dislike is the trying to get you to 'buy up' into the next phase of the condo timeshare. Oh! And the 21 and over pool at OceanAire is really nice.

I stayed here Fri-Mon of Columbus Day wknd for a girls getaway. My college roommate had a timeshare for this resort. Check in was easy, but we were told that we couldn't check in until 5pm, which to me is a little late. Its hard to check in, unpack, walk around the resort, eat and still get to bed at a reasonable hour.

We were on the 8th floor facing the street. She got a suite with a kitchen and I got the adjoining hotel type room. My room was small but looked very nice. I did notice a musty odor when the air condition wasn't running...but as long as it ran, you didnt notice anything. The room was pretty much clean, but the wall around the toilet had speckles on it like someone had vomited and they forgot to wipe down the wall. Also, the water pressure in the shower wasn't that great. (my roomate's shower was fine though) The towels were clean, stainfree and there was a hairdryer.

The bed and linens were great. Very comfortable. It also was quiet and easy to relax at night.

The location of this resort was great. There is a fantastic little pizza joint right across the street. I love the beach, but am not a sand person, so I hung out by the pool the whole time. I LOVED that they had an OVER 21 pool, which is where we stayed the WHOLE time. GREAT hottub! VERY clean. They also provided extra beach towels at the pool, which was a nice touch.

One day it rained so we used the gym. It was great, very clean, beautiful view of the beach and new equipment. There also was a fridge that had cool towels in it. It is a really great facility, but there were no free-weights. Just a 5 or 10 lb set would be a nice addition.

Check out was also easy and the bellboy was fantastic. VERY helpful.

Overall, I thought this place was very nice and would reccomend it to anyone except for one HUGE issue...I had flown to Virginia for this getaway. I packed everything the night before leaving except for what I was going to wear on my flight back. I left a pair of earrings (CZ that look real) and a necklace on the bathroom counter and in my hurry to get to the airport, forgot them. I realized my error during my layover and called the hotel to see if they could send them to me. we checked out at 8am and I called at 2:30pm. They put me though to the maid service (who handles the lost&found) who said they would look and call me back. They called less than 10 min later and said that they didn't find any jewelry. THIS IS CRAP! I know for a fact that I left them on the counter and if check in isn't until 5pm the only person who would have been in that room is staff. They also acted like it was not a big deal..which sort of pissed me off. I can't prove anything, but what if the earrings had been real? Then I would have been REALLY pissed. I take responsibilty that I forgot them, but that doesn't make it someone elses property...AND we even left a tip for the maid. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND NOT GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE!
