This house was, for our purposes, “perfect” - an opinion broached by all our kids and grandkids who accompanied us. My wife and I, both natives of New Jersey who have lived most of our lives in Kentucky, wanted to give our kids and grandkids, who call Ohio, Illinois, and Virginia home, a “Jersey Shore” experience, and, at the same time, host a gathering of our siblings and many cousins scattered across Jersey. Our schedules dictated the first week in June, a time we knew the beach would not be guarded (guards arrive mid-June) and the water a bit chilly; however this house offered table tennis in the garage, a heated in-ground pool, a hot-tub, a sandy stretch to the side of the house ideal for corn hole, hammocks, chairs and tables spread over an ample paved section of the yard, and a “Man Cave,” replete with a large frig, a pool table, shuffle board, and a toilet. All our crew who ranged in age from 10 to 81 made ample use of the house’s many amenities, and, despite being there early in the season, the beach. Rip tides were an issue, so no swimming without guards, but lots of kicking about the surf, kite flying, ball playing - and we had the beach entirely to ourselves. The back yard with its Man Cave, paved area, and ample chairs, tables, and umbrellas was ideal for our Family Gathering that brought together, including the fourteen of us staying at the house, fully seventy folks, many of whom suggested a future gathering at the same place. We hope to do so.
