7.8/10 Good! (1,465 reviews)
It is ocean view but sits back across the street overlooking a restaurant. The hot tub was out of order and we weren't informed until we checked in. The king suite was very nice and the bed was very comfortable.

I was here early in the morning. Since I didn't have a boat, and I sure can't walk on water, this was the best I could do at the time. Too much glare from the boardwalk side.
