For an older property the rooms were well cleaned and nice, could be a bit more soundproof. Very friendly atmosphere from the office staff and the other guests. Very short walk to the beach, pool was great and area was clean. It was really nice to be able to continue using the parking lot, pool, pier and bathroom they provide after checkout. Would definitely stay there again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was a quaint little place at Oak Island for a few nights stay. It would have been nice to have had at least queen size beds in the room and maybe some more table space but it was nice for a hotel trying to keep up with the times. The pool area and beach access was wonderful. Check in was pretty easy but be sure to get there before the office closes and write down ir take a picture of your tag (it’s part of the check in process).

Excellent location and staff were so accommodating and friendly. Older property but clean with good upkeep. Small bath room area with sink that was located more in the kitchenette area. Some type of shelf in that area for toiletries would have been great but we made it work. I would trade the space for the view any day. We will absolutely be back.

Booked a room as a last minute, quick get away. Room was clean, staff was extremely professional, polite, and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again. Private pool and beach access were added bonus. Highly recommend. Bed, bathroom, dorm size fridge, small table and chairs.. conveniant stay. If youre looking for a place to cook your meals or all inclusive kitchen area....this isnt it. This is perfect size to clean up and sleep, relax. Bed was comfortable.. Quick trip or travelling on a budget...this, right here is it.. Great price, easy access to rooms. Great staff. Clean room. Nice pool. Pier right next door, and also a sit down or take out restsurant 50 feet across parking lot. Motel was easy to find, check in was a breeze and it was a great, comfortable place to stay.

My boys and I really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Crest Motel! The lobby staff were very kind and helpful. The room was seriously spotless, I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness. It was cleaner than most air bnb’s we’ve stayed in. We had plenty of towels and blankets. The view from the motel is gorgeous and the beach access was awesome. The pool was also very clean and well taken care of. There is a really delicious restaurant located right next door and the property is just minutes from countless other dining choices. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

AC & Heating Unit

The AC & Heat unit smelled like humid, old towel, urine smell, and filter/ blades on vane, was not clean...so the smell was rancid. We turned on the ceiling fan and opened the window and front door, and was able to finally turned AC/heat unit off, and smell out of room only few hours, by 11pm, we close door and went sleep with ceiling fan and no heat,ok. Broom and dirty dustpan in room, so we no hang up clothes or put shoes. There is no extra blanket, so I sleep with my jacket and hoodie for warm. But nice view,close to beach and pier. Nice staff, happy and good smile. If I go to OKI again, I will stay there again, maybe next time I check ac and heater 1st. Thank you 👍

Check-in staff were super friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and a mini fridge, and room safe. The hotel is in a great location—just a short walk to the beach, pier, and two nearby restaurants. The area is super quiet at night also, even though the setup would make you think you’d be woken by road noise we weren’t, was able to sleep in both days. Just a heads-up: one of the restaurants has more of a bar vibe and may not be the best choice for families. The hotel had most of the basics, but be aware that they do not provide body wash, shampoo, or conditioner. If you’re someone who usually depends on hotel toiletries, be sure to bring your own. I thought I had packed mine but hadn’t, and I was surprised to find none in the room. My son joked that it’s because it’s a motel, not a hotel—lol! There’s an ice machine on the property, along with a washer and dryer in the same room. Interestingly, there was also a microwave in that area—but not in our room. It would’ve been convenient to have one in the room, especially for quick snacks or to reheat food. Overall, it was a good stay. My favorite part was definitely the short walk to the beach and pier—it made the whole trip feel relaxing and easy.
