Wonderful time nice room ! We loved it !!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/10/11
We stayed in the ocean front deluxe for a week End of July !! We loved every minute of it !!! The best views ever. Every morning we woke to the ocean . At night my husband loved to sit on the balcony and people watch on the boardwalk. We were actually going to just rent a house on the ocean which would have really been the same price as this was however, I have two teenages and they would have wanted to go on the boardwalk everynight. We certainly did not regret the decision to stay at the Sand and Surf on the boardwalk. At night with the air on you do not hear any noise at all . The room was pretty clean . We rarely started our car and left . Walked to the beach and boardwalk and waterpark . great !!! Worth the $$$ . I am reading the owners are strict. Well we did not experience this however, we did not try to have anyone in the room. I actually liked the idea of them being there all the time and watching everything . They have security guards and Cameras. No crazy partying kids very family oriented . We loved this !!!!!!!!!!! We are planning on going again next year that is for sure !! ( I hope they have a new mattress by then ) my only complaint ....The mattresses were hard very uncomfortable !!!! the springs are kind of coming through in that room ! INTERNET also would be great !!!! It is a good thing the owners are there at all times . AMERICANS a big plus for me .. We felt safe !~

“it was small and not the cleanest”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

I just got back from my trip today and it was the best vaction ever the motel is the BEST location ever ut right on the board walk u can see the jersey hsore house perfectly like there outside space and the hot tub and im a huge fan of the show so that was really cool to see. BUT U HAVE NOOOOOOO PRIVACY!!! they make u were a rist band and there super strickt about it and i was just going up the stairs and im a young teenager and a cop questioned me like r u staying here weres ur room and the people that own it are the weidest people and on the weekend its party central theres a bunch of 20 year olds with beer and if u stay there durrung the week its fine but the weekend is just a party at the motel the only reason i would stay there again is bcz its so close to the jersey hsore house and u can see the ocean!

“Clean and wicked location!!”

we stayed in room 2 which wasnt an ocean view room, however it did have a great view of the Jersey shore house which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR lol. They weren't filming then but it was pretty neat to see the house our the washroom window.

There was a little kitchen complete with everything you need to cook as we as a mini fridge and a futon in the living room for people to sleep on, it was very clean and beach passes were included in the stay.
The location is PERFECT!!! right across the boardwalk to the beach and awesome location to all the beach bars, as well as Karma and Bamboo is within walking distance!!!
You must try Snooki's fried pickles at Johnny G Spots lol they are to die for!!!!!!

The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 is that it didnt have a pool, where as other places do. Dont believe all the bad reviews, I've stayed in many 5 star hotels/resorts all over the world, but you have to keep in mind that you're in a beach motel and you can't have 5 star luxury....plus you're never in your room anyway...way too many activities to do.
Would DEF stay here again!!
