For some reason, the rental activity has slowed down considerably. Â Agents in other offices report the same issue.

It’s not too late to find a wonderful home or condominium available for a week in July or August.

In Avalon, leashed dogs are permitted on the beach only in the off season- September 30th through March 1st. Â In season, dogs are not permitted on the beach.
Stone Harbor offers more options- dog walking is permitted on all beaches between 80th and 122nd Street from 7pm to sunset in season. Â Off season (mid-September to mid-May)Â leashed dogs are permitted any time of the day. Â The Stone Harbor Point Conservation area (south of 122nd Street) is off limits to dogs year round.
That said…
I walk on the beach every day year round, and there are often as many dogs as people 🙂
Over Memorial Day weekend, I was jumped on by an overzealous Doodle, and then decided to walk off the beach after spotting an unleashed Doberman!
I am happy to share the sand with your family pet, but PLEASE keep them on a leash.
Reminder to purchase your seasonal beach tags for Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ.
Tags are $23 each and allow you to “cross the border” between the two towns! Â Purchase before the end of May for the pre-season price.
Although most of my beach time is before or after the tag checker hours, I am happy to contribute to the protection and maintenance of our beautiful shore line.
Money well spent!
Presidents’ Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day- all target weekends for island businesses and restaurants to re-open for the season.
Welcome back 🙂
And Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Â
On my father’s side: my grandmother was born in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland, and my grandfather grew up near Ballymena and the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland. A real mixed marriage!
They met and married in Philadelphia, and vacationed in Stone Harbor each summer while raising 6 children (pictured in front of their local rental cottage).
In the 1950s, my grandparents built a year round home in Avalon. A family business brought the sons and daughters (including spouses and young children) from Philadelphia to Avalon shortly thereafter.
After visiting the beautiful windswept coast of Northern Ireland, I can totally understand my grandfather’s love of the shore.
Sand in our shoes… and salt air in our lungs 😉
Sláinte!
P.S. Â According to family legend, my grandfather arrived to the United States through Canada. And my grandmother used her older sister’s ID to travel from Ireland to the US. Her grown children didn’t know her real name/age until she applied for Social Security. It’s important and relevant to consider that our family’s immigration history may be softened by nostalgia.Â
Pictures from our 2008 trip to Northern Ireland.
Good news: if you have owned your shore house for a number of years, the increased property value is a wonderful “gain”.
However, that profit is taxed (capital gains) when you sell, unless you participate in a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange.
The rules allow owners of investment properties (vacation rental homes qualify) to move up to another investment property (rental) and defer the tax. Â This is a huge bonus for most long time property owners.
I have both personal and years of business experience with the process. And I can connect you with the professionals to handle the paperwork and help with financing.
Please contact me to formulate a plan!
