Cool!!
Looking for a cheaper destination not too many hours from Lakewood NJ. We are sick of the poconos.
Wanted to try Newport but hotels there are expensive.

Looking for a beautiful apt/ villa etc with a private pool - I’m in NY but would drive 3 hours or so . Don’t need more than one bedroom- kosher food and minyan a plus. Don’t necessarily need any attractions . Nice scenery and relaxing is more than enough. And not too expensive

What dates? Are you thinking Airbnb type? That's prob the only way to get private pool.
For example
Private apt with pool, $400 for two nights, 20 min from Lancaster with a minyan and milchig/fleishig takeout
