Best stay on the boardwalk

I have stayed at the property many times over the years and love the location. Beds are comfortable and it’s very clean! Staff is super friendly. I’ve stayed at more expensive places on the boardwalk and they were not great. Aside from newer decor the stay was disappointing, because of that I always return to the Beach Cottages!

Kathy, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay was great, service was amazing!! The hotel and cottages could use an upgrade as they’re very dated and showing wear however they were very clean (minus a bandaid we found in a blanket) everything else was clean. Plus you’re right at the beach - location is superb!
