Fantasy Motel

131 W. Rio Grande Ave.
Wildwood, NJ 08260

(609) 522-8551

Designed and built by Will Morey in 1956, the Fantasy is considered by many to be the first 'Doo Wop' motel in the Wildwoods. With it's upswept, 'hovering' roof design, oversized rooftop neon signage and other flamboyant architectural elements, this classic on the Rio Grande entrance boulevard was unlike any structure previously seen on the island. Unfortuantely, the Fantasy was demolished in 2005. Still, it's legacy as a trend-setting icon lives on.

This Wildwood landmark was originally owned by Salvatore Spera who started with a Steak Shop a few blocks away. The Shore Plaza was known and popular for it's Motel room balconies overlooking the Boardwalk, a rooftop pool and a row of Shops on the Boardwalk that housed the famous Sam's Pizza Palace that was owned by members of Salvatore Spera's Family. This building was destroyed by a disasterous fire on December 9, 2005 and burned for two days. Sam's Pizza reopened in the Spring of 2006 but plans to rebuild the Motel remain unfulfilled.
