It is so beautiful here and extremely clean. The hotel overlooks a gorgeous bay/marina area and is overall super quiet despite it being next to a busy-ish road. Both the individuals who run this place are extremely kind and offer to cook breakfast each morning for their customers. Unfortunately I was unable to take this offer as I got brunch with different family members, but I'm sure it would be fantastic. Please do contribute to their business! They are both very hard workers. P.S. - there is also an adorable dog here.

It's hard to choose the best part--the breakfast each morning was out of this world, our Beachcomber room was incredibly comfortable, and even with a week of rain and fog, there was no shortage of things to do. Since we took our honeymoon a year and a half into our marriage, we decided to renew our vows, and thanks to the incredible kindness of the innkeepers, it became a truly special moment. Brian and Audrey went above and beyond to make our renewal ceremony unforgettable--Audrey provided us with a beautiful bouquet and sparkling cider, while Brian officiated on the rooftop. Their warmth and hospitality made our trip feel magical, despite the weather. We're already looking forward to returning in the summer to fully enjoy the pool and rooftop under sunnier skies. In the meantime, the cozy lounge, endless games, books, puzzles, and thoughtful amenities ensured that every moment was enjoyable. The plush robes, 24/7 tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, delicious food, bikes, and even the beach towels and chairs made us feel completely taken care of. Sand Castle truly offers everything you could want in a getaway, and we can't wait to come back! This was hands-down the best experience we've ever had at a place we've stayed, and we wouldn't change a thing.

I stopped there with my friends, coincidentally the same friends as last year and this year. Last year, we stopped for food for my friend. He went to Burger King. We were bored and wanted to hang out for a while there, and we found the wall about Celia Cruz's life very interesting. I loved reading about her early years and seeing her famous outfit, which they had on display. We played around with the screen that showed many of the famous people from NJ and pulled up their selfies. We took a picture with Danny DeVito, which was actually a real-life-sized selfie of him. The rest stop also has a row of massage chairs that you can pay for to use for a few minutes. We didn't use those, but that is a great idea to offer at a rest stop. We ended our time trying to win stuffed animals in the claw machine, and on my turn, the claw accidentally picked up three animals together. So we each took one and took a picture with it. This time, we found out that the Dunkin' Donuts stays open 24 hours, to my surprise, and I got a matcha latte. My friend got a meal from Burger King again, and to carry on the tradition, we took a picture with Danny DeVito again! The bathrooms were also very clean. This is a really nice rest stop, and to me it stands out from some of the others.
