  • Repeat Tenants- rental dates

    RentSignMost of our weekly vacation home rentals are Saturday to Saturday.

    So when a tenant requests “the first week in August”, I need to clarify if they mean July 28th to August 4th,  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.  Long time tenants renting the first week of August will eventually be back in July.  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 🙂

     

  • Santa at the Shore

    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!  Residents and visitors in Stone Harbor appreciate their ability to multi-task 😉

  • Island Weather

    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.  A drastically different view from my office window this afternoon!

    Soggy Saturday!

  • Sea Breeze

    Even during last week’s heat wave, there was relief at the beach.

    Looking for a last minute escape to the shore?  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 😎
