We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here! The property was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family. It was a great place for us to relax and spend time together. We especially appreciated that it was family-friendly and accommodating for our group. Parking was convenient, and the overall location worked well for everything we wanted to do. The property matched our expectations and helped make our trip and my mom’s 70th birthday celebration even more special. We would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to other families looking for a comfortable place to stay.

Love this resort! Definitely a family fun vacation. Swimming, mini golf, arcade, volleyball, basketball, hot tub. Only six minutes to the boardwalk and they will give you discounts if your a guest there for special activities. I booked the one that had the kitchenette. The only thing was the stove and oven didn’t work right but maintenance came right away to fix that. Great fun place!!!
