We really enjoyed our stay here!! We were most pleased with how close we were to the beach and boardwalk. We've stayed in hotels (right on the beach) and this place (technically one "block" from the beach) felt closer because you literally open your door and walk 150 ft. and you're on the beach. We could easily go back to the room to use the bathroom or grab a bite to eat--so we didn't feel the need to lug everything with us to the beach every morning. Another pleasant surprise was that from the front apartment window (as long as a car wasn't parked in the way) you can actually see the ocean! I didn't know this when we made the reservation but really enjoyed waking up to that every morning. This is a great place for an affordable price :)
