Clubhouse Amenities at Ocean Countys Premier Active Adult Community for Summer
Summer is Better Outside at Cottages at Compass Point
As the warm weather returns, there’s no better time to take full advantage of the vibrant outdoor lifestyle at Cottages at Compass Point. Our 55 and over active adult community in Barnegat, NJ was intentionally designed to make the most of every sunny day.
As one of the best clubhouses for those 55 and older, you can enjoy afternoons by the pools, play friendly pickleball matches, and take peaceful strolls in the garden. All just steps away from your rental cottage.
Here’s a closer look at the incredible outdoor community amenities that make summertime at this 55 community something special:
Cool Off or Soak Up the Sun
- Our outdoor pool is a summer staple. Surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and lush landscaping, it’s the perfect place to read a book, chat with friends, and enjoy the season.
- If you like swimming for fitness, the indoor/outdoor lap pool is a great place to stay active. You can enjoy fresh air and shade at the same time.
The hot tub might not be needed this time of year, but it’s a relaxing escape beside the lap pool. And it’s open year-round!
Sports & Recreation
If friendly competition is your idea of summer fun in retirement, you’ll love our outdoor sports courts.
- Pickleball lovers will find well-maintained courts ideal for singles or doubles play.
- Basketball and bocce ball courts are nearby, all in pristine playing condition.
- A mini putting green gives golf fans the chance to perfect their short game. You never have to leave the active retirement community!
- For a casual afternoon, grab a paddle and enjoy the indoor/outdoor ping pong room.
Beautiful Patios
Attached to our clubhouse are two stunning outdoor patios:
- The second-story covered brick patio provides an elevated spot to relax. Just off the Clubhouse kitchen, residents enjoy coffee, reading and gathering with friends.
- On the first floor, the poolside patio is an inviting place to relax after a swim or host a summer lunch under the sun.
Our outdoor spaces are beautifully landscaped and furnished with comfort in mind.
Dining Al Fresco
Hosting friends or just enjoying dinner outdoors is easy with our state-of-the-art grilling area. Residents have access to top-of-the-line grills, large fire pits, and plenty of seating for outdoor meals. Whether it’s burgers on the grill or wine by the fire, summer evenings here are truly something to savor.
Stroll, Sit, and Stay Awhile
We maintain our outdoor gardens beautifully. Winding walking trails connect the neighborhood to the sports courts and clubhouse while offering scenic views and shaded rest spots. Along the way, residents can enjoy:
- Covered outdoor dining tables with a bar
- Gazebos and water fountain features
- A dedicated corn hole area for low-key fun
The design aims to inspire relaxation and connection with neighbors.
Coming Summer 2025: Even More to Enjoy
We’re always growing! Two exciting new outdoor features are coming soon:
- A community garden where residents can grow flowers, herbs, and vegetables.
- A dog park designed with both pups and their people in mind.
These additions will create even more ways for residents to enjoy the outdoors.
