What makes this space great is the peaceful, beachy environment. The location is literally steps from the beach and boardwalk. From May to September the shops and restaurants are open on the boardwalk. Dining is also available throughout the year with a large selection of places to eat. The area is a surfing wonderland where people can come to surf and learn to surf while enjoying beautiful music from different bands from around New York City. One of the best feature is the friendliness of people who reside here. It really feels like you are on a vacation. As for the apartment, it is a quiet place to rest so you can recoup to enjoy the next day. The area is spacious and can accommodate six to seven people comfortably. Also there is a Ferry that can take the quests to Manhattan. This is a beautiful ride that everyone should experience.
