I decided at the last minute to escape the New York winter and found myself making a reservation at the Beach House. Again, a perfect stay, my room was on the first floor facing the ocean, breathtaking view of the beach and ocean. If you are lucky enough to secure one of these rooms sunsets are a treat and I didn't take them for granted. I had no real plans for this trip so I slept in, ate out (Hook & Plow on Pier, not to be missed, excellent food and service), visited a few friends and for the first time, turned on the Fireplace the one morning it was raining and just read. Still the same friendly staff, super nice Hostesses in the Breakfast area, and a competent Front Desk Staff, what more could you ask for. I can only say great things about this hotel, it is lovely and well run. If you decide to give it a try, you won't be disappointed and you will keep returning over and over as I have done for so many years.
