Across the street from the Long Branch boardwalk, this glass-fronted cruise-ship-like hotel waves you over for a little beachside bliss.

When you’re not soaking up the wine list and the waterfront setting at this 19th-century Redbank landmark, you’ll be diving into jumbo lump crab cakes, pan-seared diver scallops and a chicken pot pie so savory that you’ll leave little room for dessert. Ask the waiter to box up the warm apple cobbler so you can enjoy it in your Navesink suite with more river views.

Chill vibes fill the art-lined, all-white rooms a few flip-flops slaps away from the Boardwalk. No pressure to head to the beach, though; mix up a White Russian, don a robe, and stare out of the window wall, with your fireplace crackling behind you. Hang out with other dudes and dudettes for a game of foosball in the lobby, or just mosey about the art gallery until you’re ready for a refill.

No need to check the forecast – you can see what the weather has in store through the floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the impressive indoor pool.

As you sip a Mai Tai at the tiki bar at Sea Bright’s private beach, it’s hard to believe you’re only an hour from the Big Apple. This low-rise 1960’s seaside escape with a wave-shaped pool is just as relaxing on the inside, with its beachy decor and comfortable beds less than a minute’s walk from the sand. Don’t relax so much you miss the Twin Lights State Historic Site and Hartshorne Woods Park, 2mi (3.2km) away.

The complimentary evening social is only 10 seconds from your one- or two-bed suite; another few ticks of the clock, and you’ll be feeling good beside the outdoor pool without a worry in the world.

This sand-colored surprise gives your kids the road trip break they (and you) have been desperately needing. It all starts with the chocolate chip cookie at check-in, which will perk them up almost as much as the rumors of an outdoor pool. The King Presidential Suite adds a feature fireplace, banishing moans over the drive home. We bet they won’t mind jumping back in the car for a quick drive across the street to Deepwoods Kids’ Park or Monster Mini Golf.
