Brigantine, N.J.

Brigantine is not the Jersey shore made notorious by Snookie, The Situation and the rest of their crowd. It's a quiet, scenic, family oriented place. There's a wildlife preserve that attracts nature lovers from all over.
Most Americans don't realize how far south New Jersey reaches: Brigantine is about the same latitude as Baltimore, meaning the waters warm quickly in early summer and stay comfortable for swimming late in the season.
The beach at Brigantine is quite pristine and this house is just steps away. There's also a gorgeous in-ground pool with waterfall. Inside the house are a gourmet kitchen, cathedral ceilings and a great room with fireplace.
