This property is steps away from the boardwalk. The facilities were clean (actively being cleaned throughout the day by staff). The pool was awesome, parking was easy and the proximity to the beach and boardwalk was amazing. Having the beach passes included with the room was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again. WiFi was spotty in our room.

Great location

Clean,Close, and friendly. A tiny bonus is a tiny “ocean view”. The ONLY negative, by no fault of their own is the noise from the trucks. We will be back.

The room was comfortable and mostly clean with the exception of the smell of stale beer near the dresser/ mini fridge area. The smell was pretty terrible.
