This place is a classic OC Motel, but they have given it a first rate make over. Nice, sizable rooms, well appointed, not a lot of frills but simple beachy motel at a very affordable price. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great Staff and Rooms

My family found the Crystal Sands Motel last minute after we were evacuated from another location due to a hurricane. We arrived late at night, disheveled, and the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They really made our stay as good as it could be and were always available to help in any way they could. What could have been an awful week turned out to be really enjoyable and I would highly recommend the motel to any family looking for comfort near the beach!

The room was great. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We had an enjoyable time. The room was very clean and up-to-date. The bathroom is a little small but doable and the bed was a little more firm than I care for, but we walk so much on the boardwalk that we were so exhausted we fell right to sleep.
