I mostly traveled to Wawa every day for coffee and breakfast. Best breakfast was at Uncle Bill’s for my birthday. Wonderful!

Patricia United States of America

Clean and comfortable rooms and great location close to the beach.

Graziano-romano United States of America

The staff was very polite and the room was clean. The pool was well maintained and extremely large. You just can't beat the location either - right off the boardwalk and made it so much easier for this 7-months-pregnant woman! We will definitely be back!

Kaitlyn United States of America

Great location! Love that they give you beach tags. you can even use them the day you checkout and they have a shower and change room. Staff was very friendly. No issues with parking on their lot. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Anne United States of America

Well run. Clean. Nice pool. Staff was nice. Great location. Close to beach and boardwalk. Going back next year.

Timothy United States of America

Property was very clean. Excellent location, great staff, use of beach tags, place to change and clean up on checkout day.

Jean United States of America

We appreciated the facility use before and after check-in: early and late parking, plus bathroom and beach tags

Robert United States of America

The friendliness of the staff, cleanliness of the space, and location.

Jennifer United States of America

Location was great. I over paid for the room. Friends told us about the place. We booked before we check out other places. We could have had a beach view room for the same amount of money that we paid.

Marlin United States of America
