"Small, efficient cottage in a soulless new development of 9 small cottages. Kitchen is replete with large, modern appliances: dishwasher, washer dryer, fridge. Dining nook with bench and small table, but most everyone goes out for all three meals. Stark, paved courtyard has no plantings, but each unit has a table for outdoor dining, not that I saw anyone dining outdoors. Living room is small, with an uncomfortable chair and couch. Very clean, comfortable bed. Everything is kept very clean clean. Location is almost a mile from the beach, in the center of Bradley Beach with its large, beautifully maintained, mid-century houses. If you want charm, walk across the town line to the gingerbread Victorians of Ocean Grove."
