Stone Harbor: is a borough in Cape May County, New Jersey. It shares the barrier island, Seven Mile Island with its northern neighbor Avalon. Development began in the late 19th century as a beach resort along a railroad line which has since been replaced by a traffic island along the length of Second Avenue. It continues as a resort community for visitors enjoying beaches and a thriving commercial center centered along 96th Street and 2nd Avenue, bringing in a summer population in excess of 20,000.

Avalon: is a borough in Cape May County, New Jersey, on Seven Mile Island. The town is one of the most affluent communities along the Jersey Shore and is home to some of the most expensive real estate on the east coast. In 2007, Forbes listed Avalon to be the 65th most expensive zip code in the United States. The Washingtonian magazine even named Avalon the "chicest beach" in the mid-Atlantic, the place to see women in diamonds and designer swimwear. The crowd is mostly upper class from the greater Philadelphia area. Nancy Alexander will help you find your Avalon NJ Real Estate and Avalon NJ Summer Rental.
Cape May: is located in the south of the peninsula and home of the oldest seaside resort in America, with historical roots dating back to the 1700s. The entire city was designated as a National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976, and many of the buildings throughout the town are original Victorian structures that have been maintained in pristine condition. Cape May is also famous as one of the top birding sites in North America. Due to its location at the southern tip of New Jersey and numerous nature preserves and wildlife refuges, large concentrations of birds can be found in Cape May, especially during spring and fall migration. The Cape May Bird Observatory acts as the central coordinator of birding activities in Cape May, including the World Series of Birding, held in Cape May (and throughout New Jersey) each May.

Cape May County: is a peninsula, located at the southernmost tip of New Jersey between the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay. From the thrill and excitement of the boardwalk to the gracious hospitality of Victorian Inns, there is something for everyone on a Jersey Cape vacation.
The common thread of a Jersey Cape vacation is the 30 mile ribbon of clean, white sandy beaches which winds along the cool gentle surf of the Atlantic Ocean and connects the resorts of Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, the Wildwoods, and Cape May. Each of the resort communities of the Jersey Cape offers a wide variety of activities for seashore getaway.
Helpful Definitions for your Real Estate or Vacation Rental Search
Beachblock: Locally, beachblock is defined as a location where you do not have to cross a street to access the beach. A home may be called beachblock because the only street to cross is a slow traffic road and there are few or no houses across the road to walk past on the way to the beach. Usually a beachblock house will enjoy some ocean view.
Beachfront: Smack dab right on the beach!
Bayfront: direct access to a canal, harbor or open portion of the Intracoastal Waterway would be described as Bayfront. Bayfront in Avalon and Stone Harbor usually faces West, frequently providing a sunset view. Most bayfront properties include a dock and/or a boatslip.
Inside Properties: These are properties not on the beach or bay. Our 7 mile island is relatively narrow, so no property is too far from our beaches.
