My group and I really enjoyed our stay at the condo rentals! We had a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. There were foldout cots so we could sleep up to 6 people completely fine. The living room space was large and had a huge TV which was perfect for hanging out and watching movies and shows. The kitchen area was great and very convenient to use for prepping food and eating together as a large group. The shower was a little cramped, and it would be helpful if a shelf or something could be added to place shampoo bottles instead of having to put them on the floor while showering. The bathroom floor got rather wet easily and there was only one small floor mat provided. The cots were old and didn’t have good support in the middle of the mattress/collapsed down a lot in the middle when you slept on it. Noise-proofing was solid as we barely heard any sounds from our neighboring units around and from upstairs. The patio was a great amenity! We didn’t use the grills but there were several, we used the picnic benches and chairs to eat outside, and the outdoor spigot was good for rinsing off feet after the beach. Location of the Bay House condo apartments building and the main Blue Waters Hotel were all very convenient. The area felt very safe and night, was well lit, and our unit was behind the gate and at the back of the house so it felt much more secluded and private. The windows all had curtains that could be drawn for privacy, except for the front door window cutout which had no covering. The best part of the stay was the service! Elaine and her team were so helpful and friendly to our group, answering all of our questions about the town and accommodating our requests without fail. Being able to rent bikes for 2 hour blocks and borrowing beach towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas were really fantastic services that benefited us greatly. Shoutout to the workers at the Blue Waters Hotel! Lastly, one very important thing to note is to bring the remainder of payment in cash or CERTIFIED check. We messed up on the certified part and only brought a regular check, so we had to use an ATM to withdraw cash to make payment there.

Beds are a little uncomfortable but it is in an ideal place if you're looking to have fun.

This place is a motel not a hotel . It’s a hole in a wall and a rinky dink . very depressing hotel not pleasant at all . Does not bring a fridge no towels no amenities. no fridge no nothing . save your coins. Staff not friendly . They are very strict like if it’s a 5star place ? the free breakfast is the same thing every morning no options .

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Bluewaters that left a positive impression on me. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly and accommodating staff who made me feel welcome throughout my stay. One of the standout features of this hotel is its excellent location. Situated right in the center of town, within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and the beach. Whether I was in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely shopping spree, everything I needed was conveniently close by. Upon entering my room, I was pleased to find a clean and well-maintained space. The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job in ensuring that the room was spotless and comfortable. The hotel also offered a range of amenities that enhanced my stay. Free beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and free use of bikes are a definite added bonus. Throughout my stay, the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. They were always available to answer any questions or provide recommendations, making me feel valued as a guest- Thank you Harvey!

We stayed at the captains quarters for a bachelorette party, and it was fine! When booking here you have to remember that this is fire island, so you can’t expect luxury. The beds are not comfortable and rather small. It was clean, and perfect for our group! We loved that for a small fee we had groceries and alcohol waiting for us upon arrival. It was quiet, spacious, we had a full kitchen and a private back patio! I would recommend for a group looking for a getaway on a budget.

This place is taking advantage of people wanting to visit fire island. I was misled and lied to by Elaine and other staff members at the hotel while booking a weekend at there Beach House from having extra beds available to not having adequate dishware and silverware to support not even 4-6 people. They weren’t accommodating at all they wouldn’t except anything but cash for the $3500 bill. We were a couple hundred dollars short they wouldn’t even let us put it on the credit card. The only thing they allowed to put on the credit card was the thousand dollar security deposit for a service dog that we had with us.To top it all off after all the problems we had they ended up keeping $150 because there was some dog hair on one of the flat sheets. This place is a joke stay elsewhere save yourself the aggravation!!!!

We had a great weekend at the Blue Waters Hotel. The room was clean and the staff were very accommodating - went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The outdoor deck was a beautiful spot to have a glass of wine, and read a book. Breakfast (served on the deck) was fabulous. So many choices and everything was delicious. We were provided with beach towels and chairs which made packing for the weekend much easier. The location was perfect - a very short walk from the ferry and on the main path of restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend the Blue Waters Hotel if you are planning a trip to Ocean Beach!
