We were greeted by Shirley - what an awesome, friendly hostess. All of the staff was friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We did not get to use the pool due to time, but looked very inviting and clean. Easy access to the beach. We had a great stay.

The room was spacious - first floor and easily accessible for my 87 year old mom. However there was no couch or coffee table in front area so you couldn’t watch TV/read with your feet up. Or socialize. There was another tv in bedroom area but that was right next to air conditioner and when that was running it was really hard to hear TV. We have stayed at other rooms here and much more Comfortable. Bathroom was tight squeeze too

The property is nice and very convenient to various restaurants & souvenier shops. Its a few steps to the beach. The carnival and arcades are walking distance. Staff, and special mention to our new friend Shirley, are super nice. The room is clean. The outdoor pool is right in front of the property. There is plenty to entertain your children. There is microwave, refrigerator, Keurig & ice. The only thing I can say is, the shower is tiny so just be mindful of that if you are on the taller & bigger side. Other than that, our overall stay is wonderful.

For the price it was good, near the beach and an easy access. My only complaint are the beds. They are clean but the mattress is just as hard as a rock.

On The Beach was a great motel. JJ checked us in early and couldn’t have been any nicer! The room was immaculate and the bed was so comfortable l slept longer than usual. It is a short walk to the center of town filled with restaurants, bars, and attractions. The best part was we were on the beach which makes it so convenient. I would definitely return.

A very nice spot, and it was "on the beach". We could walk from our cabin to the beach in about 30 seconds. Staff was friendly and our room was clean, and nice. Will probably stay again next year

We had a wonderful time at this location and will definitely be back. Our room was fantastic - very clean and updated. "On the Beach" literally means on the beach which was exactly what we were looking for. Our son also loved the heated pool! It was a very family friendly choice and we couldn't have been any happier! The walk into town for restaurants/The Pier/rides was quick and easy which was super helpful with a little one. If you're looking for a quiet couples get away, this probably isn't the best choice for you in the summer due to all the families/kiddos and the noise level. We loved the family vibe and all the kids so it was perfect for us! The beach itself was beautiful - soft sand, virtually no rocks or shells, nice waves but not too rough and just steps from the room to the beach!
