We're really lucky to have this place down in Cape May. We purchased it in July 2020. In order to do so we had to sell our 39 foot travel trailer and my 2014 F- 150.
Funny thing about trucks, and selling one thing off for another. That truck, by now, would be beat up, have 250,000 miles on it, and wouldn't have any good memories or stories to tell. By getting rid of it we have a "Shore House" that has already allowed us to create fond memories, good times, and access to Cape May. While the fees are about $9,000 a year try renting a place for ONE week during the summer, that'll set you back about half of what we pay for our six month May to November season.
Theresa and I spent a few days finishing up some projects and welcomed a visit from my parents for the day. I tried to fish early in the morning but North Bank had the town shut down near the bay for the fireworks. We hit Two Mile Landing for a great lunch before heading to Washington Street to do the tourist/ shopping thing. At night, after they went back north, we rallied to catch the fireworks on the beach in Cape May in front of Congress Hall.
Our place has everything we need plus the resort, Cape Island Resort, handles all the stuff including the pools and activities and the like. It's a good hang at home was well. We did a good job DIY-ing the patio and outdoor area. As long as there's wind the bugs stay at bay.
While coming up with 9 G's each year isn't easy it's a great way to get a summer home only a mile or two from Cape May. If you're looking for a Cape May place. check out Cape Island Resort, HERE.
