Venues & Event Spaces near Avalon, NJ

“We stopped at the Windrift in Avalon for a drink and delicious hummus with fresh veggies on Saturday afternoon before we drove to the Lobster House for dinner. We sat at the bar upstairs. Tyler and Ronnie provided a very nice service. The food was very good and the atmosphere is always friendly. Windrift also has a nice outdoor terrace with ocean view. We highly recommend this long time established restaurant and bar for lunch or dinner. :-)”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service from Noah Fox & Tracie Lyn Evans — ICONA

From the moment I stepped into the ICONA lobby, I was greeted with exceptional hospitality by Noah Fox and Tracie Lyn Evans, two employees who represent the very best of what this beautiful beachfront hotel has to offer. As a local resident looking for a place to recommend to visiting friends and family—since I don’t have the space to host them at home—I had stopped by to request a tour. What I received was far beyond anything I expected.

Noah Fox was the first to welcome me, offering a warm, genuine greeting and immediately making me feel valued. He gave me a thoughtful, individualized tour of the hotel, walking me through the property, explaining each amenity, and answering every question with clarity and enthusiasm. His professionalism, care, and natural kindness were evident in every interaction—whether with me, other guests, or fellow staff members. Noah consistently went out of his way to ensure everyone around him felt supported and well taken care of.

Tracie Lyn Evans then continued the experience with the same impeccable level of service. She provided another personalized tour, offering an in-depth look at the rooms, dining options, recreation spaces, and the overall feel of the property. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and heartfelt pride in ICONA truly stood out. I watched Tracie engage with guests and employees throughout the hotel, and her warmth, courtesy, and professionalism were unmistakable. She has a gift for making people feel welcome and appreciated.

Together, Noah and Tracie created an experience that was informative, gracious, and memorable. Their combined dedication, hospitality, and genuine care speak volumes about ICONA’s standards. If the service they provided is any indication of how guests are treated here, I can wholeheartedly and confidently recommend ICONA as the perfect place for my friends and family to stay when they visit.

ICONA is incredibly fortunate to have team members like Noah and Tracie—true standouts who deserve every bit of this five-star praise.”

“The location was perfect - walked to the beach and enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony. The apartment was impeccably clean and the layout is smart and inviting, especially the living area that was perfect for enjoying drinks before dinner with friends. It really felt comfortable and stylish definitely will stay here again. Feels like a home - definitely not a dingy hotel room!!!”

“My daughter and son-in-law got married two weeks ago and the reception was at Yacht Club of Stone Harbor. It was perfect and can only rave about the event. Dominique Davison and staff did an incredible job with no hiccups. She was amazing, the food was fantastic and everyone had a wonderful time! Wish I could give them more stars!!Mary Lynne Loughery”

“My family and I joined the GWYC this past year after a good friend of ours recommended it. What a great experience - awesome views, very nice people and this is during a summer where you really couldn’t enjoy the whole experience due to COVID. Looking forward to many future summers at GWYC.”
