[Derek in NYC]

My wife has been angling for us to rent a vacation house this fall/winter. She's happy to stay in a beach town off season, as her principal reason for wanting one is to get out of NYC more regularly. She mentioned the Hamptons, but I immediately thought of Brigantine, even though I've never been there. Atlantic City is an absolute dump, but would my wife like Brigantine in the fall? She's looking for some place with beautiful views of water/beach/nature etc., a nearby Starbucks, a few decent places to eat, but absolutely no crack whores, winos, AC degenerates, etc. Is it worth checking out Brigantine?
