This is the one that I want to own if I have to have one.
Some say it's a gem in NJ. Indeed.

Let me start with CONS since PROS will be long.

CONS: no cons.

PROS:
1. All units are new. Dish, pots etc... all new. Nice mattress.
2. Layout - Excellent layout. enough space for 8 people.
3. Something going on all the time. Which means something for everyone, even non-golfers.
4. BOLD You get discount for green fees, merchandise and local shops!!! BOLD That's HUGE.
5. 15 minutes to Atlantic City.
6. Superb golf practicing facilities right across the road.

GOLF course - Bay and Pines.

Pines - LPGA Shop Rite Classic venue
So so so fast!!! Nice and firm even after heavy rain.
6700 yrds long and lots of bunkers with white sands.
Carpet like fairways.
It's a top class golf course. If you stay in villas, you pay $20-30 less.
And special rate for Junior and $10 for a non-playing rider. THAT MAKES SENSE!!!

I paid about $330 including everything except green fees. It's well spent.

It's better than many golf resorts in Myrtle Beach.

This is the second Marriott Vacation spot that we have visited, and it won't be the last. I love the seclusion of the property as well as the incredible, high class furnishings. It's hard to find this much luxury away from home. And they definitely do whatever it takes to make your stay memorable with many daily events for adults and children. Besides the beautiful setting, the Red Door Spa is here, the Juice Bar is just perfect, and the facility offers shuttle service into Atlantic City's Boardwalk and many other locations, you just need to ask. And the location is convenient enough to make a quick trip to Ocean City, Cape May or Wildwood. Not to mention the delightful town of Smithville which is just five minutes away. And, if golf is your thing, this is the place!

We own Marriott timeshares and exchanged into a 2 bed unit. Unlike a previous owner's review we loved the property. We arrived Labor Day weekend which was busy but after that it was lovely and quiet.We found it well maintained and managed. The staff were just lovely and made our stay special. The villas were as you would expect from Marriott's high standards...well equipped, clean and comfortable. The pools were clean and we loved the adult only pool. There were plenty of activities including a free wine and cheese party, a BBQ and Karaoke, trips to a Jazz night in Smithville and Atlantic City. There's not a great amount to see in the immediate area but It's a great base for visiting all the beach areas and Cape May as well as Philadelphia, New York and Amish Country. We even went down to Washington for a couple of days as we were there for 2 weeks. We would definitely go again.

I stayed here over the labor day weekend. NICE!. I am glad I was here when the kids went back to school. I had the pool to myself at times. Vey close to Cape May & AC. I LOVE the fact that they had the Lfietime Movie Network becasue the weather was not the greatest. OK, enough about me. If you are looking for a place that the kids and a golfer would love this is the place.
