we recently stayed at the blue palms, it was about a block off the beach (crossed the street and then went up the ramp to the boardwalk) the room was pretty big too, there were actually 2 rooms (looked almost like a renovated one bedroom apt). i never stayed there before but was looking for a place to stay on the spur of the moment. the online ressie system wouldnt let me, but when i called i was able to book for one night only.
we would def stay there again.
have fun!
