Our second stay at the Puhl's condo was as satisfying and relaxing as the first. The amenities were there as advertised, the building staff were terrific, and everything was clean amd comfortable. The pool and lifeguard staff couldn't be better. And the beach was clean and fabulous. My 11 yr. old son and his friend enjoyed body surfing and boogie boarding every day. My wife and I had plenty of hassle free time to relax. The owners drove from their home to take care of a window covering issue. You really can't ask more than that. Good restaurants and very convenient shopping. Thanks Bill and Sherry!!.

The building was clean and well secured. The apartment was clean and pleasantly decorated, just as it was described.
We were 2 adults and 3 teenagers and everyone enjoyed the week. Everyone we encountered was helpful and very friendly. We spent our days at the pool and/or beach. The beach was too far for one of us who has walking limitations. The Atlantic City Boardwalk was great evening entertainment and only 10 minutes away, and we rented movies at the local grocery store. My correspondance with the owner was easy and he was very responsive. I would recommend this rental to a friend and will definitely consider returning.

Pro's: Everything was as the review stated. The rooms and bathrooms were great, clean, and there was plenty of room for my party of 6 to sleep, everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was a fine size, there was an ample supply of dishware and cookware. Check-in and parking were very easy. We especially liked the private walkway right to the beach! The BBC (as we found it is called by cab drivers) is close enough to wawa and Acme that you can get food and other amenities in no time. It's also about a ~20-$35 cab ride to Atlantic city if you are heading in that directions.
Con's: Not too many of significance.
-The shower wasn't as hot as some of us would have liked
-It would have been nice to have a place to plug in an MP3 player
-No wine opener in the kitchen drawer
anything else is just nitpicking.
I highly recommend this property to any renter and would rent here again.

OK unit, just a little disappointed

Just got back from Brigantine and while the area is fine this unit did pose some disappointment. The listing shows a game room which has not been there for the last couple of years. Seems the game room was converted to a unit and sold. The listing also says there are two pools, one being an adult only pool. Well if you are thinking of a poolside coctail after a day at the beach it will only happen during the weekend as that is the only time it's open. Hoping to get in some office time on the lap top? You need to go downstairs to the lounge as there is no wifi in the building. The one balcony is off the master bedroom and the difficult opening door is problematic if someone is still sleeping as it is a struggle to get it open. TV has about 24 chanels and 6 are spanish however cartoons come in loud and clear. The shared shower with doors opening into both baths takes a bit getting used to. Ocean views? Hope you can streach your neck and the hike to the beach is going to take some time. However, the unit was clean and plenty of towels and bedding and there are a number of beach chairs on the balcony along with a table and three chairs, just a bit tight. Kitchen was nice with plenty of silverware and dishes and pots and pans. This is a second floor unit and easy access either stairs or elevator will get you in in no time.The listing says 4 beach tags but there are 6 so check before purchasing more. Although it is air conditioned they are units and not very quiet, the living room unit blows against the oversized couch so it is constantly on and off. The owner is very prompt to answer any questions and let's you know when the payments are due, nice man. Overall, nice and clean, ice was in the trays when we arrived and plenty of spices in the kitchen. Brigantine island is beautiful, great place to chill and relax. We will be back but most likely will look for something else.

Owners response: Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. Unfortunately the game room has been converted to another room, but management did move the vending machines to the lounge area, and yes, its not guaranteed that the wifi signal will always reach up to the room. Sometimes the signal is strong enough, other times you will have to go down to the lounge area to pick it up. I will address the sliding door problem. Thank you for your feedback.

My family and I just ended our stay last week. We have already booked a week next summer. Very relaxing and absolutely family oriented. My son met many new friends and had a blast. The pool, the beach and the condo were awesome. Thanks, Bill.

Just spent the weekend here and had such an incredible time!! The condo is so clean and well kept it makes you really feel as if you are staying in a high end hotel. It was amazing to be able to wake up in the morning and walk down the stairs to a path to the beach and not have to drive to a beach. The beach was not crowed because of the timing of our stay but it was a very quiet, nice environment. All of the people we met on the beach were incredibly nice and everyone was so friendly even though they had no idea who we were! The only thing I was not satisfied with was that we ran out of toilet paper. There was no extra toilet paper that we could use in the condo. The pictures above do not look like the condo now. There is a new couch and it looks a lot nicer in person. needs to update pictures! Other than that it was flawless and stress free!! I would without doubt recommend this rental to anyone of any age!!!

This Condo was perfect! My first time using this website so was very skeptical about going but Bill made me feel very comfortable even drove all the way up to the condo so that I could see it and pay him directly. Went with a couple of friends and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The condo was very comfortable well spaced out and upkept wonderfully. Just a walk away from the beach and 5 mins away from the casinos! I HIGHLY recommend going here!

Me and my boyfriend went down for a show we were seeing in Atlantic City. I have family in Brigantine so I have stayed at numerous places throughout the years and I must say this is probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed. It was literally a bring your toothbrush type of rental. The linens were provided at no additional cost and they were very clean. It is very tastefully decorated and updated. Large comfortable sofa and nice TV. Also there is a tv in every bedroom which is great vecause not many rentals offer that. All n All it was a great stay and we will def be returning!

The apartment was clean and maintained to some extent. There were some things that were broken before we even started our time there. One was the door out to the balcony. It was very hard to pull the door and then the handle completely broke. Also, some of the room blind slants were broken.
The apartment was comfortable, other than the couch bed. The mattress could have been better.
The pool for the adults should have been opened during the week.
I understand putting a life guard at both is probably a cost but maybe alternate the times or days.
We did have a very nice time. Everything was spelled out in order for us to enter and exit the facility, etc.

Had a great time! The beach is beautiful, clean, and not crowded. The teenage boys' recommendation were the tvs in the bedrooms could be larger with more cable stations. Also, having wireless internet access in the condo would be a real plus. Bill, the owner, is fantastic-- such a worry-free transaction. I would recommend this condo.

Our 1st Stay in Brigantine

Review submitted: July 28, 2010
Date of arrival: July 17, 2010
This condo is a beauty...clean and modern. Lovely furniture and decorated tastefully. We had plenty of room with only 4 of us, but would have been ok with 6...the listing pictures are accurate to the reality of arrival.
I like to cook while vacationing, so I did need to purchase a few large bowls to "round out" the kitchen accesories.
Bill was really great to work with...answered all of my questions quickly via e-mail and phone.
The beach and pool were both really great. NOT crowded and all the people we met were super nice.
It would have been a plus to have wireless access in the condo itself, or at the very least be able to go to the "lounge" area where you can catch the wireless on your own schedule. It was ridiculous, in my opinion, to lock that room where the snack/drink machines are located and the wi-fi access is. There was nothing in that room worth stealing; they [the management] actually moved carts into that room to lock them up??? When I asked about this I was told that they didn't want them to be stolen, so they locked them up in the wi-fi room! This was my only suggestion for change..it was aggravating that when you were home from a long day at the beach and boards and wanted to go and sit and check your e-mail...nope...the carts needed to be protected from thievery!! As an owner I would definately have a word or two about that practice.
Thanks for the opportunity to spend a glorious week on the beach in a lovely town.
Looking forward to returning next year for our 2nd summer in Brigantine!

My girlfriends and I stayed at this condo for one night and wished we could stay longer. It is very close to AC- and especially the Borgata. The condo is clean and the Owner Bill is very friendly. He communicated everthing we needed to do and it was a simple check in and check out. It was a bit too cool for the beach or pool but the condo is a short path away to the beach. We would def. come back and stay here again.

Spotless, convenient Condo

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and extremely convenient. Although it was a chilly January weekend, we were still able to run to the beach because it is right there. Also, not only is it a quick few minutes to Atlantic City, it is also a very easy, quick ride to get to the tunnel to get to the Atlantic City Expressway. We needed to go to Philadelphia and this made it very simple. We also liked that the condo was very quiet and relaxing and had everything we needed.
The town of Brigantine is very lovely, and being there in the winter was a nice experience. Our Primo Cheese steaks were wonderful and, of course, breakfast at the Pirates Den is always great! We would definitely rent this condo again and confidently refer it to friends and family..

My family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. The swimming pools were lovely and well run. The beach was a short walk through some greenery and was stunning. We even had the benefit of good waves from a tropical storm allowing the girls to have great fun on their belly boards.This is an ideal location for a relaxing family holiday.Wish we had booked for 2 weeks!
