SANDBOX MOTEL, Wildwood

The motel is 5 blocks west of the beach, making it a short walk to the sand and boardwalk. An ACME grocery store and a liquor store are directly next door, and several restaurants - including Surfside West, McDonald's, The Ravioli House, and Duffer's - are within a 5-minute walk. The boardwalk and most attractions are about a 3-minute drive. Free off-site parking is available nearby, and the area is walkable for daily errands. For those without a car, the property is centrally located for accessing local restaurants and shops on foot.

Room types range from standard rooms with two full beds to king studios, deluxe double studios, and two-bedroom apartments. Bottom-floor rooms have tiled floors; second-floor units have vinyl plank flooring. All rooms have private bathrooms with showers and walk-in closets or luggage benches. King Studios, Deluxe King Studios, Deluxe Double Studios, and Two-Bedroom Apartments include stovetops. Some units feature balconies or patios with outdoor furniture. Rooms along the central staircase or near the laundry room see higher foot traffic and noise; more secluded rooms offer quieter stays.
