This property is a Jersey Shore Gem! One of the few hotels (if not only) in the area with direct access to the beach; it’s in the perfect location for a family vacation or group block with friends. The team is so kind and helpful, they will truly make you feel at home.

We love this hotel! It's our go to for a little get away either overnight or 2 nights. Right across from the beach. They have beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. Pool is nice, plenty of seating, restaurant has good food and drinks. Service can get backed up at busy times. I wish they had a better system.

I didn’t stay at the hotel, but I had lunch at the bar and back of it on the Riverside. It was awesome. the server was nice. The fish tacos were amazing my friend enjoy his cheeseburger. Menu was a little short on options but everything the surrounding tables were ordering all look good and some remarked how great the food was that there was a guitarist entertainer taking stage as we left and he sounded pretty good.

While I initially thought everything was lost, finally having Elaina and Bridget step in to help truly made a difference. I stayed here for my wedding weekend, and although I wasn’t able to secure a room block due to a management change and staff transitions, both of them went above and beyond to assist me. We did face some issues with our room, but Elaine and Bridget were kind, attentive, and did everything they could to make things right. I genuinely appreciate their efforts and the way the team came through for me on such an important day.

Long story short,we got here early, Brian and Bridget were out front desk greeters and they are great! Not only did they check us in early, but also upgraded is to a beach view room with a private balcony. The room is gorgeous! Bed is like sleeping on a cloud and right next to the beach. You can't get better than this. Worth it! Enjoy!

I wish I could keep this place a secret, but it is truly a little gem. We stayed in the new building overlooking the ocean. It was clean and very nice. The front desk staff was amazing. The fresh baked cookies were a great touch. The kids loved them. The vibe is wonderful. Very welcoming and laid back! Pool was beautiful. Food at the grill was great. Roger gets a gold star for being the best! He was so incredibly helpful and very kind! We will definitely be returning! Thank you!

We love the Beachwalk! We have been coming here for years. The location is unbeatable, the rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and responsive. The restaurant has great food and the entertainment is always cheerful. Brian, Kenny, Elena, and Sophia and the rest of the team are doing a great job. We’ll be back, over and over again.
