We booked a fairly last minute trip. Had been hoping to get an airbnb but ended up at the Ocean Gate “Resort.” While everyone was super nice and accommodating, resort is definitely not the word that I would use. It’s more like glorified camping. Everything is old and although they do their best to clean it, it’s unkempt. We had two rooms and both wreaked of mold and mildew. I understand that it’s a very humid location, but having carpeting in each room only made things worst. The carpeting was actually wet from the moisture! We had a strict “shoes on!” at all times policy. Things also seemed antiquated. Tried watching some TV on a rainy evening, and they didn’t have a smart TV to connect to. First world problems, I know, but it was a pretty pricey place for a “resort” that couldn’t offer the simplest of accommodations. They did have a decent complimentary breakfast and offered kayaks, paddles, and bikes for free which we did take advantage of. We also paid for a water view which was completely blocked by poorly maintained bushes so it felt like we were sold a bill of goods. Despite being organized, staffed by nice people, good recreational activities (bikes, kayaks, paddle boards), and being a quick drive to Boothsbay Harbor (10 mins or less), we will not be returning to Ocean Gate Resort.

A wonderful place if you’re looking for lots of nature. Property is older, but the amenities are nice (they have minigolf, pool, ping pong tables, etc) and you can go down to the lake for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. We traveled with our two kids, 19 and 13 and we all loved it. Breakfast was simple but the coffee was great and the staff is excellent.

Clean but over priced
One night stay while vacationing in the area. The grounds and mini golf were an fun added bonus, breakfast had a good variety. The biggest down side was the value for the room rate. Rooms are very dated and need major attention. Our room had an exposed crack in the dry wall and a deep mild dew smell. Over all pretty clean, but over priced.

Beautiful location right by the water. We stayed in the oldest building closest to the water. The building is cinderblock and nothing fancy but the view is worth it. Built in the 70s i think so no exhaust fan in bathroom and the bathroom was small but adequate. Room clean and comfortable.

False Advertising
I messaged ahead of time that we have mobility issues so needed first floor and accessable. The room that we were first booked into was on the side of a hill. The parking space that went with it was very tight and on a steep slope. I called the front office and was moved to a different room in a lower building. The parking lot was flat but full of frost heaves and cement curbs going nowhere but presenting a real risk of falling. I booked the reservation with us bringing our dog but was told that was not reflected in our reservation and it would be an additional per night substantial cha. I nearly panicked and asked about cancelling but was told I would lose everything. The room was dated. It smelled. When I opened the little frig, it fell out of its cubby. The coat hanger rings were rusty, no coffee maker, no microwave. It felt old. The screen door would not open so a very nice repair man came and told us that they are all bent, broken and need replacement. The overall feeling and appearance of the property is run down. When I saw our room, I called the front desk. I said this is not the room I booked. She said that the pictures on the website are of how the rooms will look post renovation. WHAT? I am booking a room that does not exist? That is just not ok. The listing says that there is a restaurant on site. There is not. There is a buffet of greasy bacon, sausages, overcooked eggs and pretty good pancakes. We went to Hannafords bought food and ate in our truck.

The room was musty/mildew, mildew on ceiling tiles in bathroom, no coffee maker in room, parking was interesting but it wasn't busy so not an issue. One of the rooms in our building was open all night (screen door closed but main door open). Also, have a plunger in each room. But the dock, amenities, ping pong, fire pits, pool, and breakfast were very good. We would go again, there was ample signage that indicated the facility was in a state of flux/improvement. The location was ideal, out of the way-secluded, and cozy.
