If you're looking for a place to stay with a lovely staff and cozy, clean accommodations a block from the beach and 10min walk to town, make this the one. Nested in a quiet residential neighborhood with beautiful homes and landscaping, we felt safe and peaceful at the James Bradley. The staff was very warm and friendly. They had beach chairs, umbrella and towels for us too. Very accomodating. My husband and I slept comfortably and daily breakfast was a treat. This is now my Bradley Beach home away from home.
