Potential House for July 19-26 2008

I believe I have found us the perfect spot for July 19 to 26 Vacation 2008. Here is the link to the owner's website. I spoke to him on the phone, and he will rent it for $7000 for the week. This a good rate,less than if we went through a realtor.

House #1:
This is 1.5 blocks from the beach in Beach Haven and near the business district. 124 Coral St.
The house has 7 Bedrooms, one of which has 2 bunkbeds and 2 trundle beds, enough for all the non-crib children. Need to bring our owncribs. (we have 1 pack & play)

There is a side yard and backyard with grass for a kiddie pool andslip and slide (we have those things)

Here is the link:

I was unable to find a house with 7+ bedrooms and a pool for less than$9000. This is a lesson for next time: if we want a pool, we need toreserve it early.

Action Required: View the property and by End of Day Monday, Post your response on this blog thread YES or NO. We need to move within the next day or two so we don't lose this place.
On-Site Research: we can dispach a local team to investigate in-personand sign the contract if Acceptable or reject once viewing.

Alternatives: I have found a number of other similar propeties, all for more money.The one above looks much nicer than any others.

for example:
House #2:
http://www.vacationhomes.com/11297 (with pool, unknownavailability, $9000)

in Bay Head:
House #3: http://www.halsys.com/chrispublic/do_search.asp?status=2123A11371B9324C2008S&realty=86743 (Karge St with 8 BR for $7500)


and:
House #4:
http://www.halsys.com/chrispublic/do_search.asp?status=2123A11371B8819C2008S&realty=86743 (7 BR in Bay Head, $7500, no pool)

House #5:
Here is a gorgeous place, but I don't know if the folk will pay the price premium to have a pool: http://njshorerental.net/default.aspx

There are some others on LBI with a pool at $10K and over.

UPDATE 5/12/2008 @ 2:15:

Hold everything: The Decisionator has found something sweet.

House #6:

Check out this house in Point Pleasant Beach.

The owner has built two identical houses with pools next to each other and has availability for the week we need. The rate is $7000 for the week!

The house is two blocks from the boardwalk and beach, across from a park.

My mom will drive down on Wednesday to have a look. If everyone agrees, she will sign a contract if it looks good.

Take a look and email or post your response!
