Saturday wrap up

A happy delivery ready
for vacation!

What a busy Saturday for deliveries and pickups at the Jersey shore!

We were all over making vacations more relaxing and enjoyable for our guests from Manasquan, Ocean Beach, Long Beach Island, Brigantine, Ocean City, Sea Isle, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood and Diamond beach!

The day started with a little chill, then some rain and we even were sunkissed!

We are already gearing up for next weekend. 

Rainy day ideas?

So it's raining again today at the Jersey Shore.  We were hoping it was going to be a beach day too.   Our beach equipment had high hopes for a bright and sunny day:)  Not to worry, the weather forecast looks good for the next few days.  
In the meantime, we have some ideas for making the most of the rainy weather on your family vacation:

Share some of the pictures you have on your smart phone with your loved ones.   We take lots of photos but we dont always get to show others our great shots.   Why not order some prints of your favorites while you are at it at your local pharmacy or online site?

Learn how to prepare a family favorite meal.  You may be stuck inside today but you may have a good cook in your presence. Why not plan out a great recipe for dinner and learn how to cook it?  All the family members could get involved from setting the table, shopping for ingredients, preparing vegetables, etc.  Write down the recipe while you are at it and use it in the future!

Not at the beach?

Wouldn't it be great to sit on a beach every day?  For most of us, it isn't a reality.

Beach web cams are a great way to check out what's going on at your favorite destination at any time.  From sunrise to sunset,  you can see the waves, sand, surf and beach goers.

A new webcam just launched in Avalon.  As I write this post, I'm enjoying the beautiful sunrise on the Avalon web cam.  The only thing better would be to be there to see it.

There are some other great web cams around the Jersey Shore. Check them out here.

I'm sure you'll see some of our beach rental items enjoying the sun!  

A new way to get around AV and SH

Great news! Jitney service will be available for Summer 2013 between Avalon and Stone Harbor.

The Jitneys will provide transportation in 13-passenger, air conditioned, eco-friendly (powered by natural gas) vehicles.


The current plan is to drive north on Second Avenue and Dune Drive, and south on Ocean Drive and Third Avenue. The Jitneys will make stops on the corners where customers will be waiting. With 6 to 8 Jitneys running each day, the wait should be no longer than 10 minutes. The schedule is to run Friday through Sunday starting Memorial Day through June, and then seven days a week from July through Labor Day weekend.  Fairs will be $2/person from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and then $4/person from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

I would have loved having this option when we used to rent in Stone Harbor during my high school years.  It would have been so great to hang out with friends in both towns.   Now I'd love to take the late night Jitney following a trip to the bars but with an infant at home, I'm just happy going to bed early:)

If you are looking for another way to travel, limo service is a great way to get around.  Call us today for our recommendation.

Thank You Avalon Realtors

We enjoyed visiting with many Avalon realtors this weekend.  It was such a nice day to be out!  During the summer months, we are usually at one or more of the offices to  grab keys to set up homes for summer guests.

We were happy to have a sit down chat with Ann Delaney from Power Play Realty.  Ann and I have been Twitter friends for some time.  It's always nice to get together face to face and chat about our families, the latest in Avalon and rentals.    Ann was hoping to meet my new baby but my husbands parents were around and offered to babysit.  Wahoo!   Ann did get to meet my husband though!  I'm sure I'll be back soon shopping with the baby and will definitely stop in to see Ann.

Thank you to Diller and Fisher too for all your referrals! It was so nice to hear how happy your tenants are to receive our services.

Pillows on the top or bottom?

When making beds for our customers we are left with the decision to either leave the duvet pillows at the top of the bed or elsewhere.

Those that rent at the shore know that comforters aren't cleaned each week. They can go all summer without being cleaned.

We often put the duvet pillows aside or at the bottom of the bed so that they aren't on our clean linens. While it may look a little unusual we are definitely always thinking of our customers.

My First Crib Rental Experience

Here I am hanging out near my rented crib in sunny Florida. 

Our family is in the process of planning our first vacation since the baby was born.  Our baby is  four months old now and is ready to visit his cousins in sunny Florida.

We are excited to take a trip to meet our new cousin and also to catch some sun since we don't do much sitting during the summer months.

My mom brought out some pictures from my first vacation to Florida.   I was about the same age as my son.    When asked how it was traveling with a baby - my mom said they rented a crib and it made their vacation so much easier.   Who knew that someday I'd own a rental equipment business that provides cribs to vacationers staying at the Jersey Shore!

Now back to planning our vacation!

Baby monitors

Heres another idea. we've also used FaceTime with our iPad and iPhone. All you need are these items and access to a wifi network.

A glimpse of our services

We truly enjoyed providing our guests with our grocery delivery service. We loved hearing from guests that have weddings prior to their arrival where groceries are so appreciated after such a milestone. Here are a few pictures of our deliveries.

Look for our services again in summer 2013.

It's no surprise

We've been renting lots of our beautiful pillows this summer. It's no wonder when you see what some vacation rentals have on their beds.

Here's an example of a pillow at a beach house. Visit our website to rent nice down alternative pillows to make your stay more comfortable.

Make Valentines Day A Year Round Celebration

Romance Package

With Valentines Day in mind, we've added a Romance Package to our services.  While most vacationers aren't at the beach in the middle of February we will be making the Valentines Day spirit a  year round celebration.

We've always loved reviewing this service when looking at resort websites to see what's included.   We've taken some of the best G-rated options to form our own. 

We think this will be great for honeymooners, couples celebrating an anniversary or a typical Wednesday night for some.  We just don't recommend for a first date:)  

Package Details:  

A romantic getaway to the Jersey Shore is a perfect way to say "I love you".  Our Romance Package includes:

• Godiva chocolates at bedside
• Sparkling non-alcoholic wine and two champagne flutes
• Two plush bathrobes for your use during your stay
• Rose and petals on bed
• Turn down service
• Candles (Flameless)
• Romantic music or music of your choice
• Personalized Note

Note: Bathrobes and iPod docking station must be returned 24 hours after date of package.  Package applies to one bedroom.   Robes and Ipod docking station must be left outside in appropriate location for pickup.
