Yet another of the smaller motels that disappeared off of the Surf Avenue strip during the "condo boom" years, the Anchorage was known later in its existence as Lisa's Family Motel.

Taking all things into account, the Carideon may be the largest, most gaudy "hidden gem" in the Wildwoods. The motel's location certainly accounts for a great deal of its character and charm. It sits back in an area of Atlantic Ave. in southern North Wildwood that is more residential in nature, a stark contrast to the busy Surf Ave. strip, a long block away to the east. A byproduct of its situation, perhaps, the Carideon is in many ways like a motel trapped in a time warp, having changed very little in appearance over the past 40 years or so.
