Very close to the beach

It's a old motel. But everything is in operation and well maintained. Very convenient to go the beach. As the ads said, only three minutes walk away from the beach.

First off, it's one short block from the Boardwalk and the beach and it's 1/2 the price of those places that are directly on the Boardwalk. That's what we came for. The room has an actual kitchenette with sink, range, overstove microwave, pots & pans, dishes & utensils, and a full size refrigerator. Beds were firm-ish and very comfortable. Small table with 3 chairs. Couch (!) And plenty of room to move around in between all these things -- Sweetie was comfortably able to do her exercises on her mat while I comfortably fixed breakfast around her. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The owner, Ben, helped us take our bags up to our 2nd floor room while explaining that it is the off season, so the office isn't staffed 24/7, but he would be nearby at one of his rental properties and we could call him anytime if we wanted something. His assistant (wife?), Jarella ( I think that's it .. I don't always hear things correctly ) had plenty of suggestions for our questions about restaurants and other places to eat and shop nearby. We mentioned liking our coffee every morning and they promptly brought us a coffeemaker (Keurig type), which is not typically supplied in the rooms. We got coffee from the office that first day, then did a quick shopping trip to ALDI for a few supplies, including k-cups. All-in-all, we were very happy with our decision to stay at the Crystal Sands. It's not extravagant, so it's not expensive, and we had everything we wanted to enjoy our vacation.

Great Staff and Rooms

My family found the Crystal Sands Motel last minute after we were evacuated from another location due to a hurricane. We arrived late at night, disheveled, and the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They really made our stay as good as it could be and were always available to help in any way they could. What could have been an awful week turned out to be really enjoyable and I would highly recommend the motel to any family looking for comfort near the beach!
