Philips place is rad. Check-in is a breeze. The place is clean and stocked with everything you need. They have chairs, coolers, towels, snorkeling gear and everything you need for your beach time. The location is perfect just a short walk to two amazing beaches. Our advise is rent a car to explore all the beaches but take a cab to dinner in red hook if you want to enjoy some beverages!!! We will be back.
