We want to do a less than a week vacation on the shore so house rentals are out, but we don't really want to be stuffed into a hotel room with our two kids. So we are looking for a place that has suites, or maybe connecting rooms. Anyplace nice is fine as far as towns go, but closer is better since its only going to be a two or three days. Thanks. |

Well I don't know about suites but the Driftwood Motel on the beach at Point Pleasant has efficiencies and is very family-oriented. You can sit outside at the patio tables overlooking the ocean with a bottle of wine, and there is a nice pool there as well. The location is great, and the prices are not as bad as most beachfronts. With any shore hotels/motels they are slightly honky tonkish so you probably have to lower your standards a little when you stay in them. |

In Wildwood Crest try out the Beau Rivage. Recently updated-very clean...they have"suites" that have bedroom in the back and living,dining and kitchenette when you enter the room. They are on the beach and have laundry facilities and also have a nice pool. Our girls still talk about our vacations there. This is not near the boardwalk...but on the southern end of the Crest...we never wanted to be near all the honky tonk... |

You may be able to cut a deal to rent a house for less than a week. There was a piece on 1010 WINS this morning on how wretched the rental market has been for landlords this summer at the Jersey shore and most brokers are reporting up to 20% of their inventory unrented. |
