Santa and Mrs. Claus made the rounds all last week in Stone Harbor…even posing for pictures in the rain!
When not busy in the North Pole, Santa works locally as a mail carrier, and Mrs. Claus sells real estate! Â Residents and visitors in Stone Harbor appreciate their ability to multi-task 😉
During last Saturday’s rental check in, arriving tenants expressed concern about the much hyped weather forecast of “rain all week”.
Although the Saturday afternoon and evening storms were nasty, the remainder of the week has been okay.
We benefit from a sea breeze which often pushes the rain clouds inland…plus we credit the shore bubble!
The view from my Saturday morning beach walk. Â A drastically different view from my office window this afternoon!
Soggy Saturday!
Even during last week’s heat wave, there was relief at the beach.
Looking for a last minute escape to the shore? Â We have wonderful options still available, and I’m here to help!

Watching the flags over Hoy’s 5 & 10 from my office- a definite south breeze!  Avalon and Stone Harbor offer the best seats in the house during a heatwave 😎
It’s that time of year again- The Islandman Triathlon (a Tim Kerr Charities event).
Race Director Midge Kerr is looking for volunteers along the bike course to monitor traffic. Â This is a closed course event for the safety of the participants (when you see how fast the riders pass, you will understand!)
Saturday, June 30th between 7:15am and 9:45am. Coverage requested for each block on Avalon and First Avenues along the course.
Volunteers will receive a logo shirt, plus witness a fun event!
Please let me know if you are available to help: Â ann.delaney@timkerrsir.com

Thanks!
Two opportunities to watch the fireworks from the beach!
Monday July 2nd in Stone Harbor. Â The display is centered off the 95th Street beach, with viewing from any beach location.
Wednesday July 4th in Avalon. Â The display is centered off the 30th Street beach, with viewing from any beach location.
For more information on the holiday activities that week:  Avalon Chamber of Commerce and Stone Harbor Chamber of CommerceÂ
We all know the seagulls have no fear of humans. Â In fact, they will boldly steal your sandwich at the beach if you are not hiding under an umbrella or towel!
Recently I noticed that a few of the resident oyster catchers are no longer skittish as I walk by.  They have acclimated to sharing the water’s edge 😎
Repeat Tenants- rental dates
So when a tenant requests “the first week in August”, I need to clarify if they mean July 28th to August 4th, Â or August 4th to the 11th.
By the way, the annual Arts and Crafts Festival is the first FULL weekend in August, so their rental request could be based on that event.
When repeat tenants sign up for next year, their weekly dates shift 1 day earlier. Â Long time tenants renting the first week of August will eventually be back in July. Â And those renting during the 4th of July week will migrate back to June.
We handle several homes with back to back repeat tenants. So the goal is for everyone to shift 1 week ahead in unison…not an easy task!
It’s not even August, and I’m already working on keeping our tenants happy for 2019 🙂
