Charming house situated in the middle between the harbor and the beach. 2.5 blocks one way got us o the harbor at the rowing club where we watched boats and kayaks coming in and out of the water. 2.5 blocks the other way got us to one of beach entrances.
Wawa is an easy 6 blocks walk on Brigantine Ave. Right next to Wawa is Sea Star, one of those large stores that sell everything for beachgoers: flip-flops, sundresses, hats, suntan lotion, even hermit crabs!
Another 3 blocks (walk or drive) on Brigantine Ave got us to Yiannis Café with great breakfast and iced coffee! Across the street , we tried SoulBerri Smoothie that sells healthy smoothie; the smoothies took a while, but they are definitely packed with fruit!
The house is pretty with a third floor deck reached by spiral iron staircase. The first floor back deck is a relaxing oasis: a windchime on the overhang along with a standing of older trees rustling gently in the wind made for soothing evenings at the end of the day.
The owner allows pets and the entire back yard is enclosed by gates. We brought our dog along, and she had a great time hanging out with us. The local beach is closed to dogs during the summer season. But there is a beach about 10min drive where dogs are allowed, and we took her there for dog walks. Pirates Den just across that dog beach is also a great place for breakfast.
You do need to bring your own linens and towels. If you like your bed soft, you may want to bring you own pillowtop – the beds are very firm!
