The Coral Sands is perfect!
Everything is spotless at the Coral and it is the perfect affordable place to stay near the boardwalk in OCNJ. The manager, Greta Markova, is simply outstanding and will do everything possible to make your stay perfect. The rooms were renovated and modernized a few years ago and it’s better than ever!

It worked nicely for us. Very close to the boardwalk. The rooms were cute and updated. The parking was a little tight but we had a nice spot and didn't have to move our car.
