We communicated by text since we were driving in and were uncertain about arrival time. They responded quickly and were there to let us in as expected. We took the subway into NYC twice. It was an easy five minute walk to the station. The beach was beautiful. A full service grocery store is nearby. We loved the brewery next door and tried several of their restaurant suggestions. The rooms were comfortable and everything we needed was supplied such as coffee, beach towels, linens for the extra futon bed, etc.
