24th Street Motel
24th Street Motel
2401 Surf Avenue
North Wildwood, NJ 08260




For decades, the starburst-shaped neon emblem of the 24th Street Motel served as a beacon to travelers and a familiar landmark to locals near the southern end of North Wildwood's Surf Avenue strip. After nearly a half-century of proud operation, the motel closed its doors for the final time in September of 2005. It was promptly demolished in favor of new condominiums.

AA Heart of Wildwood East

Wildwood, NJ 08260

(888) 522-2248 / (609) 522-4090
The older of the two AA Heart of Wildwood properties, this structure is notable for featuring a poolside sundeck that overlooks the Boardwalk at its eastern end. Along with its sister property across bustling Ocean Ave., it has gained a reputation as one of the island's most pristine and meticulously maintained motels.

AA Heart of Wildwood West

Wildwood, NJ 08260

(888) 522-2248 / (609) 522-4090


 The younger of the two AA Heart of Wildwood properties, this structure is clad in a bright red brick exterior, making it near impossible for one to miss while traveling by on Ocean Ave. in Wildwood proper. It may be on the endangered list, as it stands in an area that is rumored to be part of the proposed Riviera Resort highrise project.

All Star Motel
All Star Motel
5501 Ocean Ave.
Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260



The story on "The All Star Motel" (fact or fiction) was that some of the original owners in the early 1960's were Sonny Jurgensen, Tommy McDonald and Pete Retzlaff of the Philadelphia Eagles and Curt Simmons of the Phillies as well as local Wildwood legend Eugene "Scoop" Taylor...thus "All Stars". There was also a supposed affiliation with the landmark Schumann's Resturant.
