Like a Hotel, the Rooms are accessed via inter-connecting corridors, within the building and are serviced by two elevators located at convenient locations. The north, south and oceanfront rooms are seperated by partitions creating individual balconies.

Besides the usual Pool and Sundeck, The Adventurer offers such amentities as an Oceanfront Resturant, Laundromat, Cardio Room, Tanning Room, and a Day Room with a Small Arcade. Off street and underground parking are provided. The building spans a block on Ocean Ave from the Wildwood Crest side of Cresse Ave to Morning Glory Rd.

Aquarius is a flat-roofed, four story,rectangular motel with continuous balconies. Clad in stucco. The first bay of the first floor is open, as a carport under the rooms above.

At some point, the neon water-bearer was removed from its freestanding sign.

The Aruba Motel in North Wildwood, stands with some of the remaining North Wildwood Motels. It has a yellow color scheme, with original railings, and a plastic sign.

 Before the Atlantis Condominiums was the Internationale Motel, it was the Atlantis Lodge-which, presumably, the name of the present-day condo recalls. It is believed to be unique among motel-condo conversions in the Wildwoods as an ambitious expansion/renovation that still shows, nevertheless, the bones of the original. According to a photo taken of it from the beach, its first phase of redevelopment—with a third floor added, but prior to the extension of the north wing—took place in 1996-7. (It already had a condos-for-sale sign on it at that point.)

The Atlantis Lodge opened in the mid-50s, probably '54, and operated continuously until new owners rechristened it the Internationale in the mid- to late '60s. It was one of the first motels built on the oceanfront in the postwar era, with the Beach Waves Motel in 1956.

The Blue Diamond was originally known as the Rossi Jos Motel, a play on words of the names of its owners (who also were affiliated with the Caribbean Motel at one time). The motel eventually changed its name to the Bird of Paradise Motel, which continues to operate to this day.

mrchazz: "A Place for the one of the most succluent Seafood Dinners in the Wildwoods, The Boathouse is one of the most appetizing places in the Wildwoods to splurge for a meal during your stay on the "Five Mile Island". Fom Lobster to Steaks, this Restaurant provides a great dining experience.

From the appetizers to the main meal, you are tempted to eat the "Whole Thing" from appetrizer to dessert and ensured a great meal from beginning to end. I highly recommend the Crab Imperial, with it's huge chunks of succulent lump crabmeat to delicious desserts, I can eat and enjoy the whole dining experience.

The Group that owns and Manages "The Boathouse, Uries, and Neil's "Steak & Chowder House" provides the best Seafood possible for the discerning palate in the Wildwoods.

The Cameo Condominiums are a small two story building much near the Atlantis Condominiums (Once the Internationale Motel). The building was closed in 2008, and was undergoing a complete indoor and outdoor renovation in Summer 2009.

Heralded today as the Wildwoods' quintessential "Doo Wop" icon, the Caribbean was designed and built by the legendary Lou Morey in 1958.

Built in 1958, the Caribbean is a flat-roofed, two-story, J-shaped motel with no visible means of support for the continuous balconies. The south wing contains 10 bays facing north. The east bay contains one bay with the office on the first floor and a game room on the second floor. The glass walls of the game room angle in to the center and out to the roofline. The roofline of the game room extends north as a wood lattice over the sundeck underneath. The second floor of the east wing is wider than the first, creating a carport supported by slender poles on the first floor. An unsupported, curved concrete ramp connects the first floor to the sundeck on the second. The west wing contains four bays on each floor, facing east. The U-shaped pool is located in the center of the "J" and is protected from the street by low shrubbery and parking. The motel is clad in light yellow stucco with the edges of the balconies slanted in and out, with staggered lights on each side. A neon sign mounted to the roof of the east wing, facing north, provides signage for the motel.
