What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 216 guest reviews
Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks earns consistently enthusiastic praise for its stunning oceanfront setting, well-kept pool and hot tub, friendly staff, and solid breakfast — with nearly every guest highlighting the views as a standout highlight. The most common frustrations are practical: bathrooms are notably small with low water pressure, and the isolated location means guests must drive or Uber for lunch and dinner. Overall sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with complaints limited to minor inconveniences rather than deal-breakers.
