We are a family born, raised and educated in the northeast yet also one that has had the opportunity to travel extensively and even live overseas. After 30 years of corporate work, we operate a Bed and Breakfast in the New Hope, PA area. These experiences have allowed us to create an understanding of how to create delightful leisure travel experiences - consistent with the expectations of the travelers.

In the case of Spring Lake, we were attracted to this area over a decade ago as a very family-oriented town that is also located on the coast. It is a low-key town, there are no arcades or bars on the boardwalk - in fact - Spring Lake has the longest non-commercial boardwalk in NJ. So our vacations there were filled with ample family time - daytime at the beach or bicycling thru the nearby towns - and evenings hosting dinners for visiting relatives and friends - or dining at one of the nearby restaurants

Mario Passalacqua purchased this house in 2004

The property is a fully renovated and modernized traditional colonial home that reflects the expectations and lifestyle of today's families. The beach is a 10 minute walk away - 2 minutes by bike - yet the home is also within the village providing the ability to easily walk to interesting shopping and dining when you need a break from sunning and swimming.

Tastefully decorated, uncluttered, equipped with the latest conveniences and technology - one is quickly able to slip into vacation mode while still retaining ability to maintain the daily routines.

The home has a very warm feeling to it from the moment you walk in. The large kitchen and dining area immediately bring thoughts of family gatherings and celebrations after long days at the beach. The yard is private and perfect for children to play in or for adults to relax and sip drinks while someone barbecues.

But there are options - perhaps you want someone else to cook - and you don't wish to drive - literally just walk 3 minutes and you have multiple fine restaurants from which to choose.
