Live Like a Tourist, continued

Another Friday morning adventure.  The sun returned (finally) and we drove up to Ocean City with our bikes.

I was surprised by the number of people riding, walking, and jogging along the boardwalk.  The designated lanes for each activity helped!

Interesting to see the ocean front homes from this vantage point.  Like other shore communities, Ocean City has experienced a major transformation with the size and style of the newer structures.

After riding the length of the boardwalk (with a stop mid-way for breakfast), we loaded up the bikes and drove the scenic way home through the south end of Ocean City, Strathmere, and Sea Isle City.

Selling & Living the Lifestyle

I have been a real estate agent in Avalon/Stone Harbor for MANY years.  

As a salesperson, I have heard others in my industry refuse to tell their clients that they have a day off or take vacations.  The agents worry that they will be viewed as lazy or unprofessional.

But don’t our clients take time off?  In fact…that’s exactly what we are selling: down time with family and friends.

I split my 2 days off so that I am not out of the office for more than a day.  I work every weekend. And I love to travel, but limit vacations to the off season. 

So while it may look like I’m a beach bum :) based on postings here and on Twitter…I do my best to balance my professional responsibilities with the many perks of living year round at the shore.

See you on the beach!

I Miss the Sun!

It’s currently just after 10am and DARK!  Drab and dreary skies are common in December…not September!

3pm update: The sun made an appearance around 12 noon- just as I was previewing a few bay front homes.  Dark clouds arrived again about an hour ago- along with loud thunder and eventually, sideways rain.  The sun is back out again- along with heat and humidity.  Crazy weather!

Southend Avalon NJ

Walk through a beach path in the south end of Avalon. Obviously, the view of the beach and ocean will be the first attraction.  But it’s also worthwhile to turn around and appreciate the wide, natural dunes and spectacular homes.

Like the high dune area, the green-scape in the south end is impressive.  And on an overcast day like today…we are grateful to see color!

Time to Buy?

The zoning in Avalon NJ is very restrictive. The majority of properties east of Dune Drive are single family homes. 

That’s what makes this condominium so unique.  Almost beach block, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and renovated inside and out.  $545,000 furnished.

Thank you for your interest!

Another Foggy Day

Our already moist air is stepping it up a notch with yet ANOTHER foggy day.

The air-conditioning  has been running all week to manage the humidity.  And by the weekend…we might need heat??

Colors of the Shore

Some days, our views are limited to shades of gray (this morning).

And on others, we see a soft pink sky over the ocean (last evening).

And, an occasional rainbow…

And, a fiery sunset (also seen from the beach last night)…

Live Like a Tourist

How lucky…to live on a beautiful island, and have easy access to other unique seaside communities.

We spent a few hours in Cape May Point yesterday- walking from the sunken ship to the World War II bunker.  Returned to the street by way of the lighthouse so that we could see the charming cottages surrounded by trees. 

We were definitely out numbered by the birders…almost as fun to watch as the actual birds!

It was a good reminder to take advantage of our convenient location- and appreciate the local attractions that draw visitors from much farther away.
