「This is our 6th or 7th stay and we always have a great time.
First: It is just an hour and a half from the Upper East Side under normal (not rush hour) conditions.
Second: It is right on the beach and the beach is very nice.
Third: Long Branch is cool. There's the Pier Village you can very easily walk to from the resort and then there are a lot of good places to eat and snack just a short drive away. Pier Village is pricey and the quality is hiit or miss and you can get caught in long waits...
「This is exactly what you want in a beach motel. Walking distance to the beach and boardwalk and also to the downtown shopping and restaurants. Cute little pool and the staff was friendly and helpful」
「Casa Del Mar was great! Location is quiet but close to everything. Right across from the inlet. Great sunrises and lots of boats to watch. Very clean. Really a cute place. 」
