Please help us find perfect accomodation on Long Beach Island!

Where on Long Beach Island should a dozen 30-35 year old guys stay for a stag party that is about drinks, surfing and Saturday night in Atlantic City...we're not looking for a frat/college/hookers type of stag scene, and there's... Our plan:
Drive from NYC to Long Beach Island on Friday evening, have dinner and drinks on Friday night, then get up early to surf on Saturday morning. Saturday night we stay up late in Atlantic City, then sleep on LBI, followed by more surfing on Sunday.
We want to be within an hour of AC, and within minutes of a good surfing beach.
We're all professionals, can afford to spend a few bucks on a decent place, and while we will be partying, dead hookers and vomiting on the streets isn't our scene.

We'd be open to a hotel, motel or rental condo/house where we could all sleep...does that kind of condo or house rent out there? If so, where? Any advice or warnings?

Oh yeah, and any advice on an easy (and fun?) way to get from Atlantic City to LBI late on a Saturday night/early on a Sunday morning?

note: there have been somewhat similar questions asked, but not about our particular demographic...but apologies if this question seems repititious.

Jersey Shore rookies picking a beach town

Jersey Shore neophytes trying to plan an (extended) family vacation for this summer. We've been looking, but want the hive mind's advice. We're Brooklynites with 2 young kids. Planning a kind of beach-house week with the grandparents and my sister and brother in law, all together. For one reason and another, everyone's happy to come out to our part of the country to spend some time with the kids this summer...and the beach suits everyone.

We've been looking at house rentals in Cape May on the recommendation of others; but we don't know much about the area -- whether there are particular parts of town we should be looking at (or avoiding)...are some of the beach areas better than others? We also wonder if we're overlooking other shore towns that would be good.

If it's relevant, we're looking for a house with at least 4 bedrooms and some pleasant outdoor space like a deck, that's at least walking distance to a pleasant beach (though my question is more about where we should be looking rather than for specific rental recommendations). The kids are 1 and 4, so we proximity to anything fun for the older one would be great, but in general we'll be providing plenty of our own entertainment.

How do I find a cheap 1 room shack at the Jersey Shore for the summer? Requirements: wireless internet / within 1 mile of the beach / cheap cheap cheap / New Jersey

Is there some cool website like craigslist for beach goers/renters?

Best way to get to Jersey Shore from the north?

NYCTrafficFilter: Help me avoid the worst of it. I have to drive from Maine to Long Branch, NJ for a wedding this weekend. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to leave Portland at around 1 p.m. on Thursday. This means I'll be nearing NYC right around rush hour. Google Maps suggests going 84 to 91 to 95, over the GWB, to Garden State Parkway to Rt. 36. Should I trust Google on this one?
