Best beaches in south jersey! Room was perfect with separate bedroom area. We didn’t use stove just fridge/freezer. Staff was wonderful! Pool was perfect! Lots of food options within walking distance! Springers ice cream is a must!!!

We have been going to Desert Sand for approximately 30+ years. The location of only 1 block to the beach is incredible. Rooms have kitchenette which we use all the time. Pool is wonderful and the indoor pool a lifesaver on rainy days. People so friendly. Rooms are kept clean and stocked and the cleaning staff checks with you frequently for the level of cleaning you do or don’t want for the day.

Location was close to beach but far from Avalon proper where shops and food is available. It’s so close to the Stone Harbor shopping area that it’s more likely that is where time is spent. The bedroom area was well insulated for sound, but the seating area lacked a coffee table and I could hear the loud flush every time someone above me used the toilet. The bathroom fan was so loud, I thought about showering in the dark. Staff is friendly and helpful. Pool is so small there isn’t even room for a single umbrella which means there is absolutely no shade. Too hot to sit there otherwise. The small size meant there’s not much space to coexist with other families. Very disappointed I didn’t research better. It’s definitely clean, but I agree the bedding is subpar.

Been staying here for over 10 years. We always enjoy our time staying here. Only thing that has changed is not being able to get into changing rooms/ indoor pool until you have a room key. So no more staying later after check out and being able to change after. Maybe just a key card on pool doors would be better if not wanting ppl using indoor pool. However we left earlier this trip, so I can’t say if you can ask to use and if they will let you. They are very nice so I can see them letting you. Beds were comfy, room was clean, staff is friendly. We will continue to stay here for many years!

Extremely accommodating and responsive staff. Great location. Just a short walk to the beach and a few restaurants. About a 20 minute walk to downtown Southport. Some of the units are more updated than others. We had three rooms. Two were freshly updated and one was not. A good value. All were clean.
