This is an ongoing debate with my extended family. We stopped going to the Jersey shore this year because the price for a 1 week rental is pushing $4000 for a 3 bedroom. You have to pack all your linens, go food shopping, all your soaps, laundry detergent, etc. Then you're at the shore and it's beach, boardwalk, ride bike, mini golf.
I am of the belief the younger generations will A: choose not to go because they cannot afford it, B: choose not to go because value is better elsewhere C: continue to go for the nostalgia.
Curious what some of you think? I didn't grow up a shore kid so IDGAS. We went to the Cayman Islands this year for 5 days (flights, AirBnB and car rental) and it was the same price as staying in Ocean City NJ for a week. I understand if you OWN down there but continuing to rent down there, I really don't understand it and I'm not talking the 20 somethings renting summer homes in Belmar.
