The Ocean Club On Smugglers Beach

Please see face book today! I am happy yet again! Linda is a great business owner that cares!

My husband and I had a weekend getaway at this hotel and We loved it. We felt the location was far enough away from town to enjoy some quit but close enough to go out and check out the town. You can walk right off the back steps of the hotel and be on the beach.
The room way passed our expectations. the décor of the room was updated and fresh. The fireplace added a little more flair. The only down side was the blue ray didn’t work. Hey things happen. The guy working the front desk was nice enough to come down to check it out. I’m not docking any starts for that because of the DVD player in the sleeping area.
They had a pool and jacuzzi along with a gym. All of which were very clean and nice looking. We will be coming again and again. This was a great find.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, beautiful location. We were here in November, $ 99 per night was really reasonable. Located in a convenient area, close to stores and restaurants. We will be back for sure. The only thing I’d say needs some improvement is that the walls are really thin, we could hear our neighbors loud and clear even with our TV on. We stayed in a one bedroom unit, perhaps not all walls are as thin. WIFI was off and on too, a bit annoying.

The hotel surpassed my expectations, the room is very clean must have just been renovated. The beds are comfortable doing. The set up works out well living room bedroom two Tvs. The pool is right on the beach. The only thing is in the morning and late at night you could hear people talking or walking around. Didn’t keep me awake just kinda weird.

First time back to the Cape in 25 years and picked the ideal location… central, clean, quite. Stayed there last week in September, after the summer crowds. Staff is attentive.

Cute room. Very clean and cozy with a faux fireplace but we reserved an ocean view and got a view of the parking lot. The ocean is behind the cars… I think. There is an indoor pool that resembles a greenhouse but all the doors open in warm weather. There is private beach area for tenants and a boat ramp in the next parking lot. Overall, I’d stay here again.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY! We stayed for 2 nights & couldn’t wait to leave. There were a few elderly owners of the units who lurk around the pool complaining about the kids. In 24 hours, there were 3 complaints about my kids who were playing in the pool. They were not playing rough or being loud & were following all the rules. The staff said they have to address it because an owner complained. They didnt have a problem taking my $ though. Definitely too many old people here. Families should stick with Red Jacket Resorts!!!

We stayed here mid May, shoulder of the season, and loved every moment. The rooms are clean and recently redone with a granite countertopped kitchenette, new bathroom fixtures, new furniture and flat screens. Still equipped with a DVD/​VCR combo though, with a library of nostalgic cassettes. The kids enjoyed the afternoon ice cream social with hot butterscotch and fudge. The beachside greenhouse pool and glass-​walled patio are perfect for windy days. Staff was friendly. We’ll avoid the cape crowds and rate hikes, and hope to return in September.

This was probably one of the nicer places I’ve stayed down the Cape. We paid about $ 300 for the night (which is a lot), but we also booked a couple weeks before and for the money, this seems like a pretty good bet. I’ve stayed at other hotels that cost that much during the summer on the Cape and the accommodations were not nearly as nice.
Our room was clean and had a bedroom, little living room and (very small) bathroom. There was also a microwave, fridge and a nice little balcony. I’d say the only downside is that the pool situation is kind of weird (it’s enclosed in glass so even if it’s nice out, you can’t swim outside), and the beach area in front of the hotel is pretty small. That being said, we spent the day next door at the beach at the Riviera with the family and no one noticed or cared since it’s connected to The Ocean Club.
I would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.

Location was great — easy to find and directly on the beach. We had a single room, which was sectioned into three main areas: a kitchenette (sink and microwave, bench and table); a living space with couch/​pullout bed; and bedroom. The living space and bedroom can be sectioned off with sliding doors for privacy.
The room was very clean and quite bright during the day, with access to a small porch beside the kitchenette.
Came equipped with two tv’s, each with its own box and remote and a strong collection of channels.
The wifi signal was very strong — enough to stream HD movies.
There are also two beach volleyball courts on the beach beside the hotel.

We just finished our fourth visit here this past weekend, and have been coming here since 1996. We love the new renovations to the rooms; they removed the jacuzzi tubs, which increased space within the room. Each room has a view of the ocean, although some rooms have better views than others. We like that the rooms have small refrigerators and microwaves in them.
Our previous trip had us staying much longer and it rained part of our visit. We really liked the activities scheduled that allowed us to do things at the resort rather than driving around looking for something to do at the end of October.
We did have continuous problems with the Wi-​Fi this time; it never worked on either of our Smartphones no matter what we did, but it did allow us to log in on our computers.
We really like that the resort is located directly on Nantucket Sound, so that you can walk out of the club, and be on the beach. The enclosed pool and spa is an added bonus which allows guests to swim all year round.
We will be back!

Back when I was an Arlington resident with glasses that covered half my face and a penchant for oversized t-​shirts (read: seven years old) my parents bought a timeshare on the Cape. It was awesome. My sister and I would play bingo in the activities room, attend ice cream socials, and drag our parents to Pirates Cove mini golf.
Fast forward 20 years: I return to the Ocean Club, three JP roommates in tow, for an epic girl weekend. The building and beach looked just how I remembered, but the rooms had laser key cards and the interiors had been completely remodeled (slash, much improved). Awesome so far. But thennnn…
— We stayed up late playing cards. At 2 am we pulled out the sofa bed. We had been told that sheets and pillows were located in the closet. They weren’t. The front desk guy was stretched out on a couch. When one of my roommates woke him up, he informed her there weren’t any more sheets and there was nothing he could do. After I followed up with him, he showed up at our door with a bundle of sheets he said he had pulled off the sofa of an empty room. Ew.
— Our fire alarm went off every time one of us opened the door to the bathroom while someone was taking a shower. = approximately three times a day. We had to call repeatedly to get it turned off, and no one ever came in to try to fix the issue.
— The guest binder indicated that we could rent movies from the front desk. We wound up with four VHSes (Armageddon, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing and I don’t remember). We couldn’t locate a VCR in our room. Guess what the front desk girl said?
When you have a great time with your friends *despite* the place you’re staying, that’s a real problem. I hope it was just a fluke, because I have fond memories of this place and would hate for it to go down the tubes.

My parent’s bought a timeshare here when it opened, so I have memories of this place going back to early childhood.
First of all, the location is great. The beach is literally at the end of the hallway, and the public beach to the left (and consequently out the window of every unit) gives you a nice spacious feeling rather than the sense that you are at a private beech surrounded by other resorts. The water here is warm, calm, and relatively clear for bay side beaches.
Parking is tough, as you can only have one car per unit, though you can sleep 4 comfortably (we have slept more… less comfortably.) Units are small, but you are on the Cape, so expect to be comfortable without being too luxurious about your space.
The enclosed pool, deck, and fitness area give you a nice alternative to being on the beach if it is crowded, overly sunny, windy, or whatnot. It never really gets crowded on the private beach, but I suppose that is all relative.
The staff here is great. Cleaning staff is very friendly and helpful. Activities staff and management are all light-​hearted and kind.
Free Wi-​Fi has allowed me to spend time here, even when I have to commute into work (something I could do when I only worked an hour from the cape… now would be more difficult.)
Don’t count on the breakfast here; that has never been anything special. Next door you can get a nice breakfast. And for other meals, I would beware the snack shack on the public beach. Once, they were delicious. Now, they microwave their hot dogs…
So, in closing: I strongly recommend this place. My grandparent’s generation had shacks on the beach, now we have timeshares. As far as timeshares go, this is one we have chosen to come back to over and over.
