“This property strikes me as a relaxed, family-oriented resort with direct beach access, where community events enhance the experience. Suites with kitchenettes and balconies are suited for longer stays, especially with the convenience of on-site dining. Its location offers a balanced experience-close enough to Wildwood's attractions, yet removed enough for a quieter beach vacation.”
