“From what I've gathered, this resort is a long-standing family favorite for good reason; I see fully equipped kitchens and spotless housekeeping, plus a location right on the beach. It seems like the management here runs a tight ship, so guests can count on a relaxing, fun, and safe experience. I think its proximity to the boardwalk seals the deal.”

Overall a great stay! The location is unbeatable-just a short walk to the beach, and everything you need is within easy reach. The room was clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. The only downside was a slightly aggressive request to move our car after check-out.
