  • Saturday Sunrise

    The crazy participants of the Stone Harbor Shiver lucked out.  A reasonable day…for March!   Click HERE for a link to the Facebook page for today’s events.

    My version of a polar plunge? Walking along the water’s edge at sunrise…bundled up and enjoying the views 😉

  • Rental and Transfer Inspections

    smokeDetecEvery rental property in Avalon and Stone Harbor must pass an annual rental license inspection.  And, every property transferred (sold) must pass a similar fire safety inspection.

    A common reason for failure?  Older smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  If the detectors are more than 10 years old, they need to be replaced.  This applies to both hard wired and battery operated detectors.

    Hard wired detectors MUST be replaced with new hard wired units.

     

  • To the Beach!

  • Salt Air > Snow

    Although Avalon and Stone Harbor were in the path of a significant snow storm (well, enough for us to close the office yesterday…), the total accumulation was only about 4 inches.

    People often ask about snow on the beach.  Yes, it will cover the sand temporarily. But with the combination of tides, and salty air/sand- it doesn’t last long.

    I took this picture yesterday afternoon, shortly after the storm ended:

  • In Denial

    My view early this morning.  Guess it will be a bit different tomorrow??

    Will post snow pictures on Twitter  www.twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach 

    As long as Comcast cooperates (my Internet connection)…I will have access to the MLS and our rental site.  Feel free to email me sale/rental requests!
