I presume the average person thinks of the sunny south and we were no exception. We looked at Florida and at all of the Gulf states but sav nothing with any appeal. As a matter of fact, most of the places had drawbacks with which ve did not wish to try to cope.

Last summer ve drove about three thousand miles looking for what ve considered the ideal spot. I believe I have been in and out of more developments thsa anyone knows are in existence. Little did ve know that the place for which we were looking was in our own State of Nev Jersey. Vhen ve finally "discovered" Skippers Cove, ve bought immediately and are happy to be living there for several substantial reasons. Ve found it offered more value for our money than any other development, including sites in Florida.

The types of homes available are superior to any comparable construction ve have seen. You are to be complimented in the foresight used in planning Skippers Cove. It is the only place in the shore area vhere major improvements, such as paved streets, bulkhead ing, utilities, are actualities, not promises to be fulfilled at ry expense in the future.
