Fun Day In Point Pleasant

We've been having so much fun now that the weather is getting nicer at the shore.  We've been taking short day trips before I head back into the office full time.  We had a great time visiting the boardwalk at Point Pleasant with my sister, mom and of course my baby.   It was so nice to see activity on the boardwalk.  The shops and attractions near Jenkinsons looked great!  Our first stop was over to Martells for a drink.  My sister convinced me to try their fresh squeezed orange drink... Wow.  Glad we were there for one drink and not a whole day at the beach.  The newly rebuilt tiki bar looked fantastic.  They have a great new bar at the waters edge too.  From here we stopped at Jenkinsons candy shop.  It's a must visit whether you are in the mood for fudge or any sweet treat.   Our main destination was up next - Jenkinsons Aquarium.  I've never been before and only live 5 minutes away.  I don't know what I've been waiting for.  It was so much fun to visit with the baby.  It may not be the Baltimore or Camden Aquarium but its a great place to visit at the shore. While we were having fun we totally forgot to make dinner. Thanks to joe leones we picked up some delicious chicken Marsala to end a perfect afternoon.

Trip Report: Point Pleasant

We enjoyed a great lunch today in Point Pleasant with Lisa Jedic at Prudential Zack Shores.  Lisa handles a lot of great rentals in Manasquan, Point Pleasant and surrounding towns.  We met Lisa on Twitter early last year and have been chatting ever since.  

Lisa invited me to their new location at Ocean Ave.  We arrived with a box of delicious cookies from Joe Leones.

It was nice to meet with the other agents in the office. We chatted about Relax Concierge and the upcoming summer season.  Just talking about the summer made me feel a little warmer.

Lisa and I dined at 709 after finding out that Off Shore was closed until Jan 15th.  Neither of had been to 709 before but we had heard good things.  Lunch was great.  The location was really nice and modern.  I had the Lobster Bisque and BLTA sandwich.  The A stands for Avocado.  The soup was delicious and so was the sandwich.   We've made it a plan to try to get together at least once a month. Hopefully we go back to 709! 

After lunch,  I stopped by one of our new favorite butchers, Artic Market & Butcher.  The owner is so nice and their meats are delicious and affordable.  Looks like pork chops for dinner tonight.  

Weekend: Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Spring Lake & Asbury Park

This weekend was busy, busy, busy.  We were in Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Spring Lake and in Asbury Park.  Sometimes not once but multiple times.

We kicked off the weekend with a dinner at St. Stephen in Spring Lake.  St. Stephens is our go-to weekend spot.  My husband and I both had their Chicken Pot Pie.  We typically order the Irish Car Bomb Cheesecake but they were out of it so we tried something else that wasn't as delicious.

On Saturday,  I spent some time with my mom and sister.  We visited the Restaurant Supply Store in Point Pleasant so my mom could get her mini bundt pans.  This place is perfect for the cook in your house.  It's open to the public so stop on by.  From here we went to Joe Leones for some lunch.  We ordered a Sausage & Pepper Sandwich and a few salads for the crew.

Saturday night included a Surprise 30th birthday at Manasquan Beach House (a.k.a. O'Neills) for Erin.  Erin helped Relax this summer in the Lavallette area.  After leaving at 10:30 - we grabbed a bar pie at Squan Tavern.

Sunday started off as it normally would after a Saturday night out at the bars.  By 9am we were surprised by a friend who volunteered to make everyone at the house omelettes!   What a nice surprise.  By noon, I had planned a get together with Jersey Shore Jen in Asbury Park.  After dining at Langosta Lounge, we took a walk on the boardwalk, checked out the lobby at the Empress and then checked out Porta.

The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s oceans, waves and beaches. 


We love all the beaches at the Jersey Shore. Each shore town and beach has something different to offer.  Whether it be a vibrant boardwalk overlooking the water,  excellent surfing or a spot to cool off on a hot summer day,  we are lucky to have such nice beaches.


It is our goal to make Jersey Shore vacations more relaxing and enjoyable for our clients by providing premium rental items (linens, towels, beach gear) and services (concierge, groceries, bed making).   We are fortunate that Surfrider is dedicated to protecting our beaches so our clients can hit the sand and surf and create lasting memories.
