Summer Rentals

So it's that time of year again. Mothers day is here, the tomato plants went in the ground today, and the phone won't stop ringing with summer rental seekers. A lot of locals ask why in the world people would pay so much money to live in Margate or Ventnor for just a few months... and I ask them why they pay so much to live here year round?! The bottom line is that not many places can boast such an amazing mixture of dining, shopping, world class beaches, casino, nightlife, architecture, history, and weather as the Jersey Shore in the summer time. While many are getting an early start there are a bunch of late comers always looking to slip in somewhere for August when the weather is just perfect. The official start will be memorial day weekend which is early this year on the 24th and 25th with memorial day it's self being that Monday the 26th. The teachers and tenants with children will trickle in about a month later while the seasoned renters and college renters get a start on settling in. July 4th weekend will an occasion as the fireworks blast off and the bbq's sizzle. Labor Day will wrap things up and all will go back home... to bad because September is the best weather of the year! Labor Day falls on Monday September 1st.
I'll say that this year differs from the rest because of the early day light savings time. Most years the excitement starts to rally when the clocks change and everyone starts to change gears along with the weather. This year with the early change and the every so unpredictable weather it just seems as if something is missing.... None the less the sun will surely shine and the parkway will surely back up for miles so enjoy your Friday drives down and your Sunday trips back and thank you for keeping me in business with your shore homes and summer rentals.
