Beaches were busy, boats were plying local waters, visitors filled stores and restaurants, and Memorial Day parades and ceremonies were held!
GREAT WEEKEND! By all accounts the Memorial Day Weekend was a great start to the 2025 season! Good weather brought good crowds to our beaches, shops, and restaurants. Memorial Day ceremonies and parades were held in both Avalon and Stone Harbor on Monday. The only downside was lots of traffic on the highways southbound on Friday and northbound on Monday.
NEED A CONTRACTOR to perform an emergency repair or take care of that last-minute item? Chances are I can recommend someone that can help. But, if at all possible, don’t wait. At this time of year everyone is busy every day, so fitting in last-minute jobs can be a real challenge. If you need a recommendation, let me know, and then call to schedule your repair job as soon as possible!
GREAT RENTALS remain available, especially if you are flexible with your vacation dates. From a getaway condo to huge homes to accommodate the whole family, we can probably find something for you! Want to browse? Visit https://www.lfvacations.
AVOID THE TRAFFIC, BUY A SHORE HOUSE! One of the least talked about benefits of owning a shore property is avoiding shore traffic! Imaging driving to the island Thursday after work, beating the Friday rush. And the Sunday night return trip? Forget about it–many shore property owners leave early Monday morning instead, heading right to the office. Not only do you avoid the worst of the weekend shore traffic, but your weekend is longer, too!
