Services
We've stayed here the last two summers and are always very pleased. Our room was cleaned spotless every single day. The pool area is really laid back and VERY clean. The grill area is awesome. A perfect way to eat in on vacation, and that area is also nice and clean. The hotel appears to me family owned.
We welcome you to luxurious accommodations, excellent recreational facilities, and great fun for the entire family! Here in this splendid seaside setting, you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of our block-long heated pool and protected kidding pool. Bask in the sun on our spacious poolside patio or relax under a sun umbrella on our large ocean view sun deck.
With three floors of luxurious suites and efficiencies, perched a block from the beautiful Jersey shore, The Sand Dune Family Resort makes you feel instantly relaxed as you settle in to your coastal surroundings! From beautiful oceanfront efficiencies to our poolside two-room suites, the Sand Dune Motel offers the perfect location to call home for your summer vacation at the Jersey Shore.

Very poor motel. Rooms are old and not kept up. There was smell and air conditioning did not work. We've stayed at a lot of hotels in Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest and rate this one as the worst of the worst.

Just got back after staying there for 3 nights. Went with a group of friends for an annual girls getaway. A friend of ours stayed there 30 years ago with her family when her children were small and she remembered as being a decent place to stay. Maybe it was back in the day but I can't say that for now. The place is definitely out of step, certainly no curbside appeal. When we pull in on Friday afternoon, the outside appearance appeared that it needed a good wash on the outside of the building. The rooms were just fair, very small but said they could accommodate the five of us. The one bedroom

Looking at past reviews, seeing they range from the truly awful to truly wonderful; describing this as the 'home away from home' with special thanks given to innkeepers Ray and Linda. Our accommodation was disappointing as the website describes the suite as spacious and we felt there was barely room to move around. Pictures shown on the website should have given us a clue of what to expect. Some credited this place as being regularly updated but I'd say our room could be the last on the list. The furniture was worn and surface areas including our dining table needed a good scrubbing

BYOP - Bring your own plumber if you want a shower that actually drains. One would think the maid would advise management of issues before new guest arrives. Got a plunger from front desk.... didn't help one bit. Am I really paying $200+ a day to deal with this myself?

If I could give this motel a 0, I would. This past weekend my husband and I went to stay at this motel for memorial weekend at first I didn't want to because I don't really trust motels but reading past reviews , I said I will give it a try. When I arrived there Friday after a long 3 hour drive , they tell me they don't have my reservation. I tell them to look good because I know I reserved here. They kept looking until they found my reservation. The lady gave me whatever room was available. I go upstairs to the room and I must say it is outdated. The bed are hard like a table and

If I could give no stars, I would. Horrible Horrible Horrible. From the minute we walked into that office to pay and get the key, we should've walked right out. The owner is very nasty. Not welcoming at all. The rooms are not updated. Everything is old and nasty. The pull out couch was dirty like it was never cleaned, and the mattress was more spring than cushion. The beds were very hard like sleeping on rocks. The pool hours are not good, 9:30-7 ??? Really??? Who closes the pool that early?? No guests allowed to hang out for few hours and have lunch with us? He was going to charge us $10

Last minute stay and the place was very accommodating. Clean and quiet very family oriented. The owners seem to really care about the place and it shows with how it is ran.
Has a little mini golf section and a arcade.
Really a nice place to stay for families.

My family and I have been coming to this hotel for years and I have to tell you that this is truly a home away from home. I live in North Jersey and I have a wonderful block with wonderful neighbors and the Sand Dune is like home to us...except they do all the hard work and we just sit back and enjoy the beautiful CLEAN pool, CLEAN rooms and Linda, Ray, Stephanie, Ray Jr. (family owned) and the staff that they have are warm, wonderful and delightful people. They are always eager to remedy anything that you need, clean extra towels, if you need something for your kitchen that isn't already

Stayed here last week; worst experience of my life! Management is very disrespectful and rude. Rooms are filthy! The AC was broken on my first night and I found roaches behind the fridge! Absolutely unacceptable!! I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemies!

I don't really have much to complain about this place. The staff was friendly, the room rates were pretty cheap compared to some of the other motels in the area during peak season, and the rooms were fairly clean and large. There's nothing really special about this motel, but it's about a block from the beach, and the pool's a pretty good size. I guess my only complaint is the chairs at the pool - kind of uncomfortable. Oh yeah - and they have a ping pong table which is a plus!
