A benefit of our unsettled evening weather- picturesque skies (photo taken last night during a beach walk).
A bit cooler today, and a nice breeze. Enjoy the weekend!

A busy rental change-over day in Avalon and Stone Harbor. Plus, many of us were out showing sale properties between tenants.
Real estate agents, cleaning crews, appliance repair people, HVAC technicians, and rental supply companies…may be feeling a bit “crabby” right now.
I find a walk on the beach helps 🙂
New property owners just completed a major renovation of a 2 story home in Stone Harbor…and mentioned that they would like to rent the house for the next week or two.

I walked earlier than usual this morning, and was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise.
Every few blocks, I passed someone at the water’s edge with a camera (or cell phone) capturing the bright pink sky reflecting off the ocean. I’m not the only early riser on the island!
The beach grooming tractors were starting their first row at the high tide line. And, the Borough workers emptying trash cans at the beach paths had a loyal flock of seagulls following behind hoping for scraps.
Such a nice way to start the day…
A tenant mix up: they thought their rental started NEXT Saturday. They had no idea of the mistake until we called them yesterday and again today wondering why they hadn’t checked in.

Yesterday was the last day of vacation for visiting family. The early rain was a concern. Thankfully, the sun appeared in time for a quick walk along the beach (and the obligatory photo on the lifeguard stand).
The radar looked promising enough to continue with our plans for the water park and Wildwood boardwalk.  A few sprinkles while we took a lunch break, but otherwise, a decent day.Â
Morey’s does such a great job with their water parks/piers. Everything is clean and well organized. All of the “kids” had a blast. Some of us are feeling our age today, though… 😉
I had the opportunity to preview this property today:
77- 39th Street, Avalon NJ
Access to the house is essentially through the beach path- a very private setting.
I walked up the outside stairs to the deck, and was immediately in awe of the view and location.Â
The views are incredible facing east and south (the dune line is set way back looking south- nothing to obstruct the dunes and ocean vistas).     Click Here to View Listings
$5,300,000 with architect plans for inspiration.Â
OR, purchase with the adjacent vacant lot along First Avenue to allow for guest quarters over a separate garage… and a huge pool. $7,500,000 for package.

I appreciate your interest!
I know we are so fortunate to live and work at the shore year round. Yet, when family members are visiting, it can be a challenge to juggle the demands of peak season business with the fun activities.
Yesterday, I was able to leave the office by 4pm and catch up with everyone on the beach (just in time for a nice sea breeze!)
On the agenda later this week: bay and ocean kayaking, Morey’s water park, and the Wildwood boardwalk. If I look a bit weary at the office…you will understand 🙂

Monday, Monday
Then, off to Comcast to exchange cable boxes likely zapped during yesterday’s lightning storm (I tweeted that the “high security” acrylic shield is down- you can actually talk to the helpful employees face to face!)
With those tenants happy- off to another house to check on an issue with Verizon- phone and Internet not working. On hold for a LONG time, with the frustrating outcome of a service call scheduled for Friday. Fortunately, tenants understand that there is nothing more we can do.
Back to the office to contact a handyman for minor repairs for 2 other properties. And, calling/e-mailing owners about issues brought to our attention by their tenants, and then working with the appropriate vendors to address.
In the meantime, our company rental program is down (computer guy working on it now).
I think I may need an afternoon ice cream cone 😉
