Madison Resorts announced the purchase of The Oceanview Motel in Wildwood Crest for $10 million.
The owners said they aim to preserve the motel's history while upgrading the property and adding amenities.
The iconic doo-wop style motel at 7201 Ocean Ave. is celebrated by the local Wildwood Crest and Jersey Shore community as one-of-a-kind for its unique style of architecture and its rich history.
After months of community lobbying to save the motel, Madison Resorts Founder Dan Alicea stepped in to save the property from being demolished. The motel has been closed since the fall of 2021.
The tentative grand opening is set for Memorial Day weekend 2023.
When reopened, the property will be renamed Madison Resort Wildwood Crest.
