Beach Bum West-O

This is our second year staying in a cabin here for the Ocean’s Calling Festival and I truly can’t imagine a better place to stay. The grounds are quiet and well maintained. You can enjoy mornings on your screened in patio or take a stroll along the dock. I especially love having access to an actual kitchen.

Jaden at the front desk is so kind and personable and really cares about if the guests are happy/comfortable. We all end up laughing with every interaction and it makes the place extra cozy after fighting crowds all day.

Carlos was our shuttle driver again this year and is a great friendly and safe ride to and from the board walk. He makes sure the air conditioning is cranked on hot days, and has towels and the heat running on rainy days (he even made an extra trip Saturday for those of us that didn’t want to battle the rain anymore!)

This place and these people quickly became a part of our annual OC adventures and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Had such a great time here!! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back! The grounds were a little smaller than I expected from the photos, the cabins are all fairly close together. We stayed in the Loft Cabin #8 which has a fenced off fire pit which gave us some privacy, if that's what you're looking for. The staff was super friendly and laid-back, the pool was so nice to have, and the cabin itself was a little outdated but still great. 5 min drive to the boardwalk. Can’t wait to make this our new summer vacation spot!

GOOD: hybrid campground nature and amenities, location

BAD: standard rooms are shoebox small, 12x8 living space excluding nice size bathroom - not adequate for more than 1 person

BBW was a pleasent surprise with it's campground features. There's a great river walk and view, park benches and grills on property, and a decent swimming pool.

Breakfast is included but it's limited to a small coffee station, fruit, cereal, and microwave sandwiches - slightly more than expected, but didn't meet my needs.

The knock to 4 stars is the room size for the price. I gaped after opening the door and nearly hit the bed - very small. They did manage to cram in all the accessories as advertised.

If you're single, it's passable, but families or couples need to rent one of their cabins (another unexpected neat feature). The hotel is located next to meal options and the beach is roughly a 15 min drive. I'd return, but only for a sizable discount given the room size. All in all, I had a good experience.
