This is a delightful little classic Ocean City, NJ Motel very close to the ocean and Boardwalk. The rooms are very nice and comfortable with excellent air-conditioning and appliances. I can’t say enough about the staff here. They are extremely helpful in every way and very accommodating with your checking in while you’re here and while you depart, I highly recommend this motel for a step back in time to classic Ocean City while having a modern conveniences. I plan to return to the coral sands for as long as they are here plus an extra amenity is a wonderful barbecue restaurant on property. The ribs were fantastic. It really helped to make a great stay even greater thank you Coral Sands!

The staff is very helpful and all of them had smiles on their face. The location is perfect close to the beach and Boardwalk. The rooms are clean. They are older, but you’re in a beach town. You’re usually not in your room that often so knowing that the bathroom and the room is clean is perfect. Overall, we will definitely stay there again. It wasn’t our first time staying there. It was actually our second and the extended our stay this time. It’s an affordable place to stay close to the beach that’s clean and friendly staff.
