Accessibility for Vacation Rentals

By ann

Occasionally, rental property owners ask why I include pictures of stairs on our website.

Because the majority of tenants are making their selections online (in person visits prior to renting are rare these days), the details are helpful in determining if a home will be suitable for their family.

Can they gate off the stairs for the safety of young children?

Will a family member with limited mobility be able to navigate the entrance, and interior spaces?

Our beach homes tend to be elevated off the ground (and multi-level) so access is a legitimate concern.

My familiarity with our inventory helps too-I can share my perspective based on their specific needs.

2023 Rental Season

By ann

Every year, Memorial Day weekend arrives “suddenly”. Spring weather at the shore can be iffy- so it’s hard to think about summer while still turning on the heat 😉

Yet here we are…days away from the official start of summer.

Our vacation rental business is quieter compared to recent years- with inventory available for prime weeks. We are counting on the last minute planners to help fill the properties!

This situation is not unique to Avalon and Stone Harbor, or just Jersey shore communities. Personally, we are experiencing similar vacancies with our South Carolina rental condo. And the agency there is allowing bookings for less than one week (unheard of for July and August). I also talked with a friend who owns a beach house in North Carolina- same issue with open weeks.

After 40+ years of handling summer rentals, I know that change is inevitable…and we will adapt!

Happy summer!

Wildlife Walks

By ann

As I admired the pelicans flying low along the ocean, a turtle literally crossed our path.

Turtles are common along the bayside of the island- not a typical sight on the beach!

He/she stopped at the water’s edge, and then turned around. We were able to follow the trail in the sand on our return walk- all the way up to the dunes (it was low tide, so this was a long journey).

A Slower Vacation Rental Season

By ann

Rental property owners and agents are frustrated with the number of prime weeks not yet rented this summer. A few have reduced their rates in order to stand out from the crowd.

For prospective tenants, we are sharing the message that it’s not too late to book! AND, that tenants can save significant money by booking with a local agency rather than a social media site.

My knowledge of the area and the properties in our inventory adds value, too.

I’m here to help with your plans!
