Oceancliff Resort I & II
The staff was excellent and friendly! The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The property was a bit outdated, but clean. The view was perfect.

OceanCliff Hotel
There was a wedding during our stay and the music stopped at 10:30 PM. That was considerate. Young folks (college age) ran up and down the hallways until 3 AM. Only negative thing I can say. A beautiful venue on a wonderful setting. I would return for sure. Thanks, D Conner
