We got to the beach before check-in the first day, but staff allowed us to park in the garage as well as use the beach tags. They saved us a decent bit of money and time, as a lot of the parking lots were full. Staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was clean. We could see the beach from our room, and we were within walking distance of a restaurant, grocery store, the boardwalk, ice cream shop, etc. Great location and overall stay!!
