Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn

The Beach

The Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn has private access to a one-acre section of beach located just across A1A from the inn. 

Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn is noted for its private beach access to one acre of pristine sand and for being "ultra clean" according to reviews. Located on Vilano Beach near St. Augustine, it offers great value for travelers, whether on a romantic getaway, family vacation, or a business trip. Their rooms have marsh views to the west and ocean views to the east.

Located across A1A from a less populated strip of Vilano Beach, Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn has beach access available only to hotel guests, enabling them to enjoy this more secluded area north of the Vilano Bridge.

The Pool

The hotel's heated saltwater swimming pool is open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., and a fire pit on the patio is available for warmth and conversation. The barbecue deck has several grills for guests to use, and the boutique inn has beach chairs and boogie boards to lend to guests going to the beach.
