In 1988, while exploring the Keys, Pat & Jack Glunz accidentally discovered the Ocean Beach Club. They fell in love with the white sandy beach and the charming hotel. The parents of seven children decided to return and bring their family along. Over the years many wonderful memories were made as the children brought their children to continue the tradition. Not to mention all the lifelong friendships that were forged in this little piece of paradise. The beautiful old hotel had great bones but it desperately needed a facelift.
So, in the summer of 2012 the first floor closed for renovations. The plan was to redo one floor per year but it soon became obvious that it was too disruptive to keep the rest of the hotel functioning. Therefore the decision was made to close the whole building and renovate everything at once.
Thirty-four weeks and a lot of hard work later, a new and greatly improved hotel emerged!
