ASTRONAUT MOTEL, Wildwood Crest

The motel sits directly on the beach, offering easy ocean access and ocean views from the property. It is a short drive from the Wildwood Boardwalk and Morey's Piers & Beachfront Waterparks (3 km), as well as from Cape May (7 km). Several restaurants are within walking distance, including Admiral's Table Restaurant (0.5 km), Seapoint Deli Hut (0.5 km), and Royal Grille Cafe (0.5 km). The location is well-suited for beach-focused stays, though a car is recommended for exploring the wider area and accessing grocery stores or entertainment further afield.

All rooms are air-conditioned and include a private bathroom with a bath and shower. The fully equipped kitchen features a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and tea and coffee maker, making self-catering straightforward - an important advantage given the lack of an on-site restaurant. Rooms come in configurations with 2, 3, or 4 beds, and some units include a sofa bed in a separate living area. Some rooms have pool views. The property has a mix of older, carpeted rooms and newer, renovated units with vinyl flooring; if room condition is a priority, it is advisable to confirm the room type at check-in. Note that there is no elevator, and a shared balcony is available in some rooms.

The motel does not have a restaurant or serve breakfast. Instead, every room is equipped with a full kitchen (stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and cooking tools), allowing guests to prepare their own meals. Several casual dining options are within a short walk, including Admiral's Table Restaurant (0.5 km) and Seapoint Deli Hut (0.5 km) for takeaway or quick bites. For those who prefer not to cook, the surrounding area offers a range of cafes and eateries within 1 km.

The property features two outdoor pools, one of which is designated for children, plus a separate kids' pool and a water slide - making it a practical choice for families with children. The pools are free to use and are kept warm. The main pool is also used by adults, and the slide is popular with younger visitors. Direct beach access is available from the property, providing an alternative leisure option. There is no spa or wellness centre on site.

Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. Private on-site parking is free but requires a reservation; space is limited and can be tight, so early booking is recommended.
