silver gull beach club

I have been going to Silver Gull for over 25 years. Na few years ago the management changed hands. Hurricane Sandy destroyed a lot of the grounds but the new group did the best to have the club open on time. It is a private space where you pay for an accommodation and membership. I'm glad I have a safe place to go all summer to get away from the humid Brooklyn summers.

Ortega family enterprises took over the lease 3 years ago and had to put money into the club after the hurricane... but since then,the place has gone down hill. .Otrega management has taken away many amenities that have been at the silver gull forever. We no longer have Valet parking, So now the old, handicapped and families have to walk thru the gravelly parking lot to get to their cabanas.I spoke to the manager and he told me it was a liability to have valet parking. It'll be more of a liability when someone gets hurt. They've cut the hours of the cabana kids... and are overworking the ones we have... I put in a work order for my cabana in mid may- it leaks into the cabana, the railings are unsafe, the gutters leak. they fixed the railings with zip ties !!! Last year, My husband slipped on the cabana terrace in a puddle of water from the leaking gutter, and almost went thru the railing..there is mold on the wood all over the club. I have been a member for 12 years and have never seen the place looking so disheveled The food is gross and overpriced . the entire club is filthy...
