Having spent several weekends in Sea Isle as guests of friends that live nearby, our interest in owning a home in the neighborhood grew back in 2015. It is one of few communities with so many amenities either a walk or short drive away. It is truly unique and special!
When we saw that a property was becoming available, we jumped at the chance given the double lot size and its location on the canal. Mind you, the interior and exterior looked vastly different then, but we saw a nice remodel/ refurbish project. Barend learned the construction trade from his father and tackled many of the remodeling projects himself. Many weekends (almost 1.5 years worth!) and vacation days were used to construct what you see today. We wish we would have done a better job of keeping a before and after album.
Finally, the close knit community sealed the deal for us. We have full-time residents as neighbors and they do a great job of keeping an eye on the place. This community looks out for each other in a loving and caring way. You don't have to go very far to find a neighbor willing to give a hand and we do all that we can to reciprocate.
