Thank you for your interest!
I’m thrilled to announce a new initiative from our office, Tim Kerr Sotheby’s International Realty, specifically designed for our rental properties. We’re creating online digital property books for all our rental homes, providing a comprehensive resource for our guests. Additionally, we’ll offer a support platform where guests can easily get answers to any questions or address any issues during their stay.
The new digital property book will include essential information about each rental home, such as check-in and check-out times, Wi-Fi details, coffee maker type, special property instructions, local area information, and more. If owners have any specific instructions for their property, we will include them in our online guestbook, too.
For additional details, feel free to reach out to me: ann.delaney@tksir.com or 609-967-7950

When traveling, it’s always fun to discover the Avalon or Stone Harbor connections.
We spent a week in the Lake Tahoe region right after Labor Day. And almost every day, talked with people who have family or personal ties to our 7 mile island!
One young man by the pool mentioned that he and his brothers had all been Avalon lifeguards. Because I brought along my beach bag for this trip, I gave him one of my 2024 beach tags as a souvenir. He was thrilled. A really sweet encounter.
It’s a gift to see the enthusiasm for our special beach location – especially when we are visiting another beautiful spot. It never gets old!
Sunday 9/1 at 8:30am

Wave hello if you see me in my red kayak 🙂
In an effort to generate more rental activity for our property owners, Tim Kerr Sotheby’s added listings with open weeks to the VRBO website.
The VRBO fees charged on the landlord side are being paid by our agency and agents based on an expectation of attracting new business to our company.
And it worked! We have successfully converted most inquiries to leases, filling in otherwise vacant weeks.
A common question from our new VRBO customers is regarding the need to bring sheets and towels.
The regular airbnb or VRBO guest expects freshly made beds, and towels hanging in the bathrooms.
As property owners and rental agents, we have to acknowledge the changes in our industry if we expect to remain competitive in the vacation home market.
I am happy to discuss the benefits of coordinating with a local linen rental company for the 2025 season.
P.S. Earlier this week, a VRBO sourced tenant asked “will the rental property have shampoo, body wash, hand soap, or should we bring our own?” It’s not unusual for VRBO and aibnb properties to provide mini soaps and shampoo containers, as well as dish soap, laundry and dishwasher pods, etc.
We welcome this perspective to plan ahead with our rental owners.
The Real Seashore Santa
Originally posted Christmas 2008.
The blog post and Santa were both updated in 2018!
Santa– the life size plywood cut out version- has been an important part of Christmas for as long as I can remember.
Santa began his life of service in the early 1960s at my parents’ first house in Avalon. He was surrounded by big, multi-colored bulbs on the newly planted shrubs. Inside that modest Golden Home rancher, 4 little girls hung their stockings on a cardboard fireplace with a plug in red bulb that magically turned the metal wheel to create “fire”!
In the 1970s, Santa moved with our family 5 blocks south in Avalon to a larger, 2 story home with a real wood fireplace. The colorful exterior lights were eventually replaced with more subtle white bulbs, but the spot light literally remained on Santa.
In the off season, Santa hung proudly on the garage wall- watching us all come and go. Those little girls grew up and moved out, bringing back grandchildren for days on the beach. In the 1980s, my young sons were fascinated by Santa, and maybe a bit intimidated based on our attempts to use him for improved behavior!
When my parents downsized to a townhouse in the early 1990s, my father asked if I wanted Santa for our home. Of course, I was thrilled- and Santa didn’t complain as he was forced to leave Avalon and move “off shore”.
Santa loyally followed us on each move- knowing that he would be given a prominent position (with a flood light) at Christmas. Years later, he gratefully moved back to the island to become a Stone Harbor resident!
Now coasting past his mid-50s, Santa was showing signs of wear (aren’t we all).
For several years, I thought about arranging a touch up, but it just didn’t feel right. Thankfully, our niece offered her artistic talents – a perfect fit!
So the newly refreshed Santa is back in his designated spot in front of our home- ready to face another 50+ years by the beach ????

2024 Update- We sold our home, so Santa moved with us to Avalon while we wait for our new townhome to be built. Time marches on…and Santa tags along!
