Quintessential
American Weekends on the Jersey
Shore: Stay From $70
Per Night
By
Jason Sheftell
June 1, 2006
Tired of playing second fiddle to Cape Cod, the Hamptons and the Delaware
beaches, the New Jersey
Shore has quietly
been attracting tourists and visitors to its quaint towns, large beaches
and fun-filled boardwalks for the better part of this century. From Avalon
to Asbury Park, for teenagers to aging
romantics, there really is something for everyone on the largest sand dune
between Philadelphia and New York. Close to Newark
Airport and easy to get to from New York City, it's no longer a secret that the Jersey Shore is full of quiet, affordable
inns and charming towns.
Start looking for Jersey
Shore towns at www.visitnj.com, the
state's tourism website. For shore sites, check out www.state.nj.us/travel/sr06_mainpage.shtml,
which has vacation specials, maps, events, attractions, and hotel
information listed by location. The most popular shore site might be the
casinos and the glitz of Atlantic
City (www.atlanticcitynj.com). With a huge boardwalk and
major music headliners such as Aretha Franklin and Leonard Skynard and
boxing events lasting through the summer, Atlantic City has great hotel packages
and lodging deals. With one night packages beginning at $104 per night at
the Tropicana (tel. 800/345-8767; www.tropicana.net) and two night packages starting
at $158.50 through June and then going down up to $194 through July and
August, casino stays with all the trimmings are more than affordable. The
next door beaches at Margate
are popular spots among college students. If you go to Atlantic City, the subs and Cheese Steaks
at the White House Sub Shop (tel. 609/345-1564) are as good
as any Philly sandwich shop.
For a quiet getaway without the kids, the town of Spring Lake (www.springlake.org)
has the longest stretch of a non-commercial boardwalk in the entire state,
meaning you can walk on your own in peace and quiet. Billed as a
sophisticated adult weekend getaway, Spring Lake
has several bed and breakfasts and small inns perfect for romance and
together time. The Ashling Cottage (tel. 732/449-3553; www.ashlingcottage.com)
has Victorian rooms furnished in dreamy white colors with reduced summer
rate packages taking $100 and $70 off normal rates. With a large front
porch and gazebo, this yellow mansion is a step back in time. The
Normandy Inn (tel. 800/449-1888; www.normandyinn.com/specials05.html)
has specials that take 20 percent off of any stay on certain July days,
specifically July 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13. Normal rates for a small room start
at $115 per night. Built as a summer rental home in 1889, you can hear the
waves from your room at this quintessential beach inn.
Families can let loose at Long Beach Island
(www.longbeachisland.com)
where the boardwalk is full of games and group activities geared towards
kids. Located in Ocean County and consisting of several towns along a barrier
island looking out on the Atlantic Ocean, Long Beach is full of white sandy
beaches, Victorian architecture, and a carnival atmosphere. The Island
Guest House (tel. 877/524-7829; www.lbinet.com/islandguesthouse)
has rates starting at $115 for a standard room in a central location just
steps away from the beach and shops. The Barnegat Lighthouse is nearby as
is a National Wildlife Refuge where the brush goes long and the seagulls
fly. While the beaches might be the draw, several water parks, kayaking,
bird watching and golf are also popular activities.
Nearby Seaside Heights (www.seasideheightstourism.com)
has an AVP pro volleyball tournament taking place from June 29 to July 2,
2006 attracting the best beach volleyball players in the world. With games
and rides and two fun-packed piers, Seaside
is a blast all summer long. The Bay Breeze Hotel (tel. 732/830-4555;
www.thebaybreezemotel.com)
is an old style two story beach motel with a concrete motel pool. Rates
start at just $79 per night and discounts are given for week stays. It can
get expensive around holiday times, but midweek stays are less expensive
than the $129 weekend rate. You get free beach badges with your stay at
this summer resort roadside motel that wreaks Americana. For info on that volleyball
tournament and ticket information, check out www.avpseaside.com
or call 877/287-8499. Legendary beach star Karch Kiraly is scheduled
to attend. An all session General Admission pass costs just $40.

Tip #19

After you find the house you are
interested in you can inquiry with the real estate agency to find out
more information or to arrange an appointment to view the house.

Tip #18
Home Selling Tip, Targeting Out Of State:
When you sell your home you sometimes have to put yourself in the
potential buyers’ shoes. In New Jersey many home buyers are from the
surrounding area, like New York or Pennsylvania.
Knowing this can allow your agent to
market your house more effectively.
If he/she will advertise in a New York publication they can describe
the proximity to NY. This allows
your potential Buyer Base to expand.
