How the season works

Three seasons, three different prices

We are open may – october. Within that, the same room can be two very different prices depending on the week.

  1. 01

    Early season

    May to mid-June

    The cheapest weeks of the year and, if you do not mind a cool ocean, some of the best. The pool is heated, the boardwalk is open at weekends, and you will have a lot of sand to yourself.

  2. 02

    Peak season

    Late June through August

    School holidays. Weekly stays, usually Saturday to Saturday, and the ocean-view efficiencies go first. If you want a Type 6 or a Type 7 in July, book it in the winter.

  3. 03

    Shoulder season

    September and October

    Warm water, thin crowds, and rates that drop back sharply after Labor Day. The car show and the Irish Fall Festival weekends are the exception — those fill up months out.

For a rough sense of scale

  • From about $278 a two-night opening-weekend package in late May
  • Around $1,325 five nights in an ocean-view efficiency in late August

Both figures are indicative and change year to year. The booking system above is the only place with the current number.

No surprises

What's in the price

There is no resort fee, no parking charge and no charge for the pool. What you book is what you pay.

  • Free parking, one space per unit
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
  • Heated pool, wading pool and spa tub
  • Two oceanfront sundecks and three gas barbecues
  • Daily maid service
  • Cookware, dishware and silverware in every kitchenette
  • In-room safe
  • Elevator to all four floors

Ice is the one exception — the machine takes a small charge. Deposit and cancellation terms are on the policies page.

Room types by size

What each step up actually buys you

Rooms are priced roughly in this order. The jump that matters most to families is from a one-room efficiency to a two-room one — a door between the children and the television.
