Desert Sand Resort

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.

Our stay was wonderful. The accommodations were beautifully decorated and clean. The mattresses were very comfortable and we slept well! The service was spot on bringing fresh towels and straightening up our room. We will surely stay again.The Sockmans

This stay was magnificent! The staff was super attentive and helped us with any little thing such as us not being able to figure out the shower. I went to the lobby for help and they sent a kind gentleman to help right away! He was in the room before I even got back helping my friend who stayed back while I got help. When my key card stopped working they fixed it asap! When they closed the outdoor pool to fill it with chlorine they directed us to the indoor pool! Amazing having two options for pool time. The stay also included beach tags which was amazing. Our stay was great and I would definitely return! The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient! The room was extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. They even had extra blankets already in the room for our use to sleep with if we wanted! I can’t wait to come back!!

Our place was immaculate and comfortable. We walked to the beach for a leisurely stroll off season and were just minutes from Stone Harbor. We went to Cape May in less than a half an hour. The staff was friendly and helpful, particularly, Jessica. We had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a cozy living room. Would stay here again if the opportunity presented itself!

Room clean, staff was friendly. Walkable to the beach, restaurants and entertainment. Pool is in a sunny area for this time of year. September is an ideal time to visit the Jersey Shore. Days are warm with little humidity, ocean water warms up. Crowds are down!

My husband and I have been staying at the Desert Sand Resort since the early 1980's! We always enjoyed our vacations in Avalon and this hotel was always clean and well kept! As our family grew, we spent a great deal of our summers staying at the Desert Sand because of their indoor and outdoor pools and of course because of their extreme cleanliness and pleasant atmosphere! I highly advise families to stay here! You will not be disappointed. Close to the beach, fine restaurants and family friendly activities nearby!
