  • 2018 Beach Tags

    Reminder that seasonal beach tags are now on sale in Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ.

    Tags are $23 each and allow you to “cross the border” between the two towns!  Purchase before the end of May for the pre-season price.

    Although most of my beach time is before and after the tag checker hours, I am happy to contribute to the protection and maintenance of our beautiful shore line.

    Money well spent!

  • Opening Soon…

    The “Opening Soon” signs are appearing in store and restaurant windows around the island.

    We are grateful for the businesses that endure the LONG winter and manage to keep their doors open with a limited customer base.

    And we are excited for more dining and shopping options as the season approaches.

  • Bunks Beds in Rental Homes

    BunksRecently, I posted a picture of built in bunk beds on Twitter.  Bunk rooms have become a popular addition in many new construction homes.

    The post prompted a few questions about what’s permitted under the rental license guidelines.

    Bedroom occupancy is based on fire codes, and requires 50 square feet per person.

    If a bedroom measures 100 square feet (a 10′ x 10′ room)- occupancy limit of 2

    150 square feet – occupancy limit of 3

    200 square feet- occupancy limit of 4

    If you are thinking about changing beds in a particular room and/or adding bunk beds, make sure the dimensions will allow the additional sleeping spaces.

    Also, be sure the beds do not obstruct the egress windows.

     

     

     

  • Easter Weekend

    Welcome back!

    Businesses re-open and property owners return to the island to prepare for the season.

    And although I am still wearing my winter jacket for morning beach walks, I’m spotting flip flops, shorts, and light sweatshirts on others 😎

  • Rental License and Inspections

    smokeDetecYes, complying with the regulations for the required annual rental license can be time consuming.

    Yet the recent tragedy at a rental house in Mexico reinforces the need to ensure the safety of our guests.

    Avalon and Stone Harbor inspect for fire and safety violations, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (detectors must be less than 10 years old).

    All properties offered for rent (even privately) must be inspected and licensed every year.

     

  • 29th Street Recreation Area

    In case you missed it:

    The Borough of Avalon will create a new entertainment and recreation park at 29th Street and the beach.

    The old skate board park is being dismantled today in advance of the construction.

    Completion of Surfside Park is expected by May 2019.
