Enjoy the beautiful and spacious beachfront at the Brigantine Beach Inn. This is a great time of the year to enjoy the oceanfront and arguably one of the better beaches on the Jersey Shore.
The property is dog friendly (with additional Pet cleaning fee).
THE SPACE
The expansive and clean beachfront in family friendly Brigantine is one of New Jersey's best kept secrets. For those that want to visit the boardwalk this is also within driving distance to the boardwalks at Atlantic City and Ocean City.
This Large Studio Suite sleeps up to 4 guests. The spacious, residence-style layout includes a Queen bed and Living room area with a Queen sleeper sofa. This unit also has a Full kitchen with full sized refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, cookware, dinnerware and flatware for four.
LaScala's Beach House is also onsite and has good food and beverage options set in a Caribbean theme, along with live music performances during the week. There are many outdoor seating and lounging areas around the Bar area as well as additional outdoor seating on the large common Patio outside the main Building entrance. This makes for many relaxing outdoor spots for enjoy a coffee in the morning and a beverage of choice in the evenings. There is also a large Indoor Pool and Game Room.
Brigantine New Jersey has a year-round population just above 9,000 people – that may not be tiny, but it’s small enough to create a real sense of local community on the island. Even during the summer when the population more than triples for several months, the island is not nearly as touristy as other cities on the Jersey shore.
RESORT VIEW CATEGORY:
The Resort Hotel itself is Beachfront, located directly on a wide and beautiful beach, and is only steps away from the building.
While this specific unit is located on the 1st floor of the Building, and is on the Ocean side, there is no real view from the window because of being on the first floor. It's probably accurate to call this a Resort View category.
STAIRS / ACCESSIBILITY:
There are some stairs to enter and exit the main facility, but this unit is located conveniently on the first floor, so no steps inside to your unit, and the building has elevators to reach the higher floors.
BUILDING / UNIT INTERIORS:
This property was originally constructed in 1927. According to local lore the Inn was frequented by Al Jolson and Al Capone and various other mob bosses and figures that preferred this location over Atlantic City.
Over the years ownership was transferred to various entities, and today the Brigantine Inn is run by Legacy Vacation Club Resorts, who have tried to retain the essence and some of the design elements found in the original construction.
While you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable, they are a bit plain and a little dated. These units definitely have more of a rustic feel with older furnishings, comfortable but not luxurious. I'm not saying that to be negative, I'm just trying to help level set realistic expectations about what to expect. Having said that we enjoy our visits here, and this doesn't detract from our personal experience because the location can't be beat. Hopefully the photos provided give you a general understanding for what I am describing.
The benefits offered by staying at this resort are...
1. The fantastic beach in front of the property, only a short walk from your unit. You will not find the beach here as crowded as other locations on the Jersey Shore, which makes this a great location for a beach vacation.
2. Overall amenities (indoor pool, along with onsite LaScala's Beach House where you can enjoy a beverage, meal, and live music sitting beachfront, etc,.)
3. The price. This is a very economical way to enjoy staying at an oceanfront property in New Jersey during a prime summer week, offering you more size and features (including a Full Kitchen) than a traditional hotel room elsewhere.
Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.
