My daughter had a rugby tournament at the fields two blocks away. This property was perfect for our needs and beaching it. We also enjoyed the nearby Icona dining options within walking distance. Sunsets on the bay side were beautiful. The pool was clean and a great temperature.

All staff we dealt with were super friendly especially at check in. It was all so easy. They let us park hours before check in and texted us while we were enjoying the beach thay our room was ready! Kids had a good time in the pool every day. We will absolutely be back.

We stayed in a suite a block away from the beach. Beach tags were provided, which was a nice perk. The location was a long walk from Stone Harbor’s main drag but driving there or to Avalon is no problem. The room was clean, service was fine. The main concerns were with the bathroom, which had no towel bar or grab bar.

Clean, comfortable, and a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting for a few days. The room came with a kitchenette and a sitting area. Sadly, we were only there for one night. The bed was so comfortable I fell asleep immediately. Lovely stay.
