  • Happy Mother’s Day

    Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, sisters, daughter in law, and women friends.

    Our unwavering support for each other…and a healthy sense of humor, are essential to surviving the job of motherhood  🙂

  • View From a Beach Chair

    Yesterday, my beach chair spent 2 hours in the sand (near the dunes to block the cool wind).

    Pleasant weather again today for the Avalon Yard Sale and Stone Harbor Sail Into Summer event.

    Busy real estate day, too.   Thankful for the return of buyers and renters to the shore!

  • Bay Front Neighborhoods

    Looking to buy on the bay? 

    The bay front neighborhoods of Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ offer unique features depending on your needs.

    The options range from a basic “fisherman’s cottage” to a massive, 3 story home with a pool.   There are bulkhead lots, and natural sandy beach lots (usually more phragmites than sand).   As expected, the dock area is often the featured amenity with expensive boat lifts and fish cleaning stations.

    There are bay front condos starting at $279,000 (1 bed/1 bath 9511 Sunset Drive, Stone Harbor), and three level side by side townhouse style units for $1,395,000 (new construction 613 Sunrise Drive, Avalon).

    A cottage on a small lot, $1,299,000 (charming renovated home at 320 86th Street); to an amazing custom home at the end of Pelican Drive in Avalon for $9,999,000!   On average,  bay properties are priced between $1,500,000 to $3,00,000; depending on lot size and age of the structure.

    For a list of specific homes/condos on the bay (or anywhere on the island!), send me a request:  ann@anndelaney.com

    I appreciate the opportunity to help…and will wave to you as I kayak by your dock   🙂

  • Do You Fish?

  • Peaceful

    The colors of the ocean and sky appeared different to me this morning. 

    The reality of world events reinforces how fortunate we are to live in a simple, peaceful place.

  • Fishing

    The “Real Ospreys of New Jersey” had some human competition this morning while fishing for their breakfast.

    A beautiful day at the beach!
