We really enjoyed our stay The staff was friendly.The beach access was incredible. The pool was perfect for small children. Breakfast was typical hotel breakfast.
Pool and top balcony for viewing beach is magnificent and just seconds u in beach breakfast was different daily overall it was great hotel do recommend ☺️
Great hotel location on the beautiful white sand beach in a quiet, safe area! Comfortable beds, nice-sized bathroom. Breakfast was wonderful, staff was responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
First time staying here and we absolutely loved it!! Great staff, we loved how they had a kids pool… my son is 3 so I was a little scared that he wasn’t really going to be able to enjoy the pool but he absolutely loved it and had an amazing time. we loved the beach!!
This hotel was clean and well maintained. The staff were courteous and helpful for the most part. We loved the included breakfast and convenience of access to the beach. It was a great stay overall.
The only negatives is you are a little far from restaurants and the boardwalk, though we enjoyed walking there by the ocean. Also, if you are a coffee drinker, the options are very limited. The hotel coffee was ok. We found that Beal House serves Starbucks at their restaurant, the Remedy.
We had a wonderful experience. Wavecrest was so clean, the staff was so nice and helpful and the breakfast was great. Easy access to the beach and great prices.
Rooms were clean, staff was super sweet and amazing. When we checked in we were given great information about the hotel and the area. This is my second time staying here, the breakfast is amazing. The beach is also super convenient!
