The island is relatively narrow at most points, so no property is too far from our beaches. Of those not in the beachblock or on the bay, a small rancher typically runs from $800 per week in early June and late September, to a high season price of $1,000 to $2,500 per week. Most of our owners define high season as early July until late August. Many of these properties are available for single week rentals and do require a security deposit There are many Cape Cods, Studios or two-stories in the mid-island areas. These homes are typically well maintained but not ultra modern or air-conditioned. The weekly rates range from $650 in June and September, to $1,800 in July and August. There are also several modern, air-conditioned larger (4-6 bedroom) houses available at a short walk to the beach. Some run as much as $3,000 - $7,000 per week in high season, down to under $1,700 in the off season
Locally, beachblock is defined as a location where you do not have to cross a street to access the beach. Here and there, 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, at least from the deck(s). In the beachblock there are still a few very simple, small, one floor homes, usually with three bedrooms. They may run as low as $1,300 per week, early and late in the season. The high season weeks run $1,900 to $3,500 per week. Moderate, mid-range beachblock houses, usually with four bedrooms or more are listed at $1,000 to $1,300 per week in early June and late September. In season, a house like this will be $1,900 to $3,600 per week. (Central air conditioning always adds $200 to $400 per week to the price). There are a select few large, modern, air conditioned homes available in the beachblock. One could run as much as $8,000 per week in mid-summer, with early and late season rates proportionately lower. Many of these top-end properties require a greater than usual security deposit, and may require a minimum stay of two weeks or more. |
