Jersey Shore Sea Girt 2013

Are you looking to get a beach house for the summer? Here is an opportunity to get involved in a summer beach house share in the beautiful town of Sea Girt, NJ this summer…

The house in is in a great neighborhood with plenty of comforts. It was renovated 2 years ago and is a great place to spend the summer. The kitchen is huge and has a pull out sectional couch where house guests spend the mornings and pre-game swapping stories and bonding. It is also modernly equipped with, among other things, a great island and a wine frig. There are 3 flat TV’s (maybe more this yr?) with one about 46′ in the kitchen. The four bedrooms upstairs share 2 full baths and another full bath downstairs for all and the 2 bedrooms down there. No beach house is complete without an outside shower, and we have one on the deck-so a total of 4 showers for primping time.

The house is located 5 short blocks from the beach and 7 blocks from both the 2 popular bars; Parker House and Edgars. The house is just far enough from the beach to provide plenty of parking and no worry about the weekend worriers. It has a garage for bikes, scooters and beach chairs… And a full basement for storage as well as the washer and dryer. The front porch has new wicker furniture for storm watching or just enjoying the morning coffee. The back deck is partially shaded by a large pine and equipped with a BBQ and furniture.

The house is run very liberally designed for all to have a great summer; the renters mainly ask for respect to other housemates and especially the neighbors. The price will vary based on the ratio of full and half shares and should be roughly the same as last year; $3,400 for a full and$2,250 for a half. The price includes the refundable security deposit as well as all the utilities, every 2 week cleaning service and general supplies for house; paper towels, paper plates, toilet paper, soap, plastic cups, etc.

The current members range from 30 to low 40′s and are a good group of people. If you’ve never done a beach house, it is the greatest bonding experience one can have. Many of my closest friends have been formed from sharing beach houses over the last decade. Grab a friend.

Additional Information: The people in the house are mostly from Hoboken and nice people. They have 1 full share ($3400) or 3 half shares ($2240) that are still open. Craigslist Ad: http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/vac/3752329421.html

MTV has announced that they are cancelling the popular reality TV Show the Jersey Shore after its 6th and final season.  The show has been a cultural phenomenon regardless of your opinion of it but recently ratings have slipped a bit and Nicole Polizzi aka Snooki now is a mother. Sooner or later something had to give and the cast couldn’t keep up their hard partying way forever. Could they?

Share your thoughts in the poll below.

Spring Lake Downtown HDR 1

One of the destinations for Hobokenites during the summer months is the Jersey Shore. In particular the area near Spring Lake including Sea Girt, Manasquan, Belmar and Bradley Beach is popular destination for residents of Hoboken wanting to get away for a long weekend. Here is a photo of Spring Lake’s downtown business district taken earlier this summer. There are a number of boutiques and eateries on the main drag which is a walk-able distance to the shore and convenient to NJ transit train line.

Photo of the Day- Mini Racing Sail Boats by The Marbleheaders of Spring Lake

305Spring Lake has remote control sailboat races on the weekends in the summer time. These races are run by a group of retired men who have a club called the Marbleheaders of Spring Lake that seem to have a nice comradeship and the skills are pretty sharp to boot, or should I say Das Boot! The boats are similar in design and well crafted.

Racing takes place on the southeastern side of Spring Lake from May through October on Saturdays and Sundays with informal sailing on Wednesdays. For more information on these captains of Spring Lake go to http://www.marbleheadersofspringlake.com

As a result I have been taking walks around the the Sea Girt and Spring Lake are and have taken pictures of some wonderful homes in the area.Here is yet another example well out of my price range. Running hyper local websites won’t land you one of these homes that is for sure.

Happy Memorial Day–Photo of the Day Flag on Jersey Shore

Memorial Day Flag Sea Girt

Happy Memorial Day Hoboken and the readership of TheBoken.com. A good number of Hoboken residents headed elsewhere this weekend to points along the Jersey Shore as well as Long Island and the Hamptons and some stayed local today. This photo is shot from Sea Girt New Jersey on a sunrise with the focus on one of  the American Flag’s along the boardwalk to honor the fallen that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

TheBoken’s editor has observed the large number of people who vacation down at parts of the Jersey Shore in places such as Bradley Beach, Belmar, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan, and Point Pleasant. So much so that I prefer to call that stretch Hoboken South. The focus on this website will always remain about Hoboken but from time to time this Summer this website will put a spotlight on some of the Jersey Shore offerings.

You Can Still Get a Share at The Jersey Shore–Sea Girt Beach House has Spots Still Available

Filed under: Hoboken,Jersey Shore — Tags: , , , — TheBoken @ 8:45 AM

For those in their 30’s or 40’s, here is an opportunity to still get in on Jersey Shore House Share. Sea Girt is a great location and between that town and Spring Lake it could be referred to as Hoboken South given the large numbers of Hobokenites that stay there over the Summer.  There is a very good chance TheBoken.com’s editor will get in on the house for the Summer. You do not need a car to get there, Simply take the train to Spring Lake and it is a short cab ride to the house. Read below to see if you are interested.

Snooki and JWoww – A first look video

Filed under: Hoboken,Jersey Shore,Snooki — Tags: , , , , , — TheBoken @ 2:40 PM

Snooki and JWoww’s spinoff show of the Jersey Shore now has a first look video published by MTV. After wasting a few minutes of my life that I will never get back I am glad the show was in Jersey City and not Hoboken.

Here is a quote from the LA Times about the series:

“It’s a very different show — it isn’t two single pals living in Jersey City anymore,” MTV President Stephen Friedman told Show Tracker of the upcoming summer series. “You’re going to see a very different side to both women — not just Snooki but Jenni [JWoww], who has a real maternal side.” He added, perhaps with some understatement. “It’s a whole new way to look at pregnancy.”

Link to LA Times Post: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2012/04/snooki-jwoww-mtv-pregnant-time-episodes-preview.html

Editorial Comment: Imagaine that. Snooki giving Americans a whole new way to look at pregnancy. Time Magazine should make her Woman of the Year! (sarcasm off).

Feel free to chime in your thoughts whether or not you are glad MTV did not film in Hoboken in the comments below…
