Our family wants to rent a house on a lake or beach next summer. We will need a big place, want direct water access and within a (very) short drive or walk to a fun, cute town. Need to be able to get there within a 6 hour drive from NYC. We do NOT have a huge budget. Suggestions for areas to look? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Or the Adirondacks - be careful as Lake George is partly very cheesy. I like Long Lake, but the town is small. I like the Jersey shore - Ocean Grove is cute and everything is near town and the beach too. They have concerts. Newport might be another option. [ Reply | More
