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!

Very relaxing vaction for two senior citizens

This was our three day mini-vacation. We loved the closeness to the boardwalk, and breakfast cafe's nearby. We did a lot of relaxation and when it rained we enjoyed the chairs outside our door where we could watch the rain and activity around us. The room was small but functional. It was clean and everything in working order. Parking was limited on sight, but thankfully there was additional parking two blocks away.
