The Colonnade Inn’s Big Screen TV

Did you know that the Colonnade Inn recently purchased a high definition big screen TV for its common area. Never miss the big game again! Whether it’s the Phillies in the summer or the Eagles (Go Birds!!!!) in the fall and winter, you can come visit Sea Isle City anytime of the year and see your favorite sports team in high definition (and on ultra comfortable couches and chairs).

In fact, the last few years more and more people are coming down to the Jersey Shore in the fall and winter to enjoy the Atlantic City casinos on Saturday night and watch the Eagles on Sunday. The Colonnade Inn is the perfect spot for you to stay. Only 20 minutes from the heart of Atlantic City, and a big screen TV to watch the Birds with your buddies. Couldn’t get any better.

A Sea Isle City Vacation In June

June is the first month during which there are regularly scheduled events such as the famous Skimmer Weekend which involves live entertainment, dance contests, antique autos and more. For a full list of events, check out this calendar of things to do.

June is also the first month of the year during which it is very difficult to find a vacation rental at the Jersey Shore, especially on weekends. Although vacationing at the Jersey Shore picks up in May, it really isn’t until Memorial Day weekend (the last weekend in May) that beach vacation rentals get consistently booked up.

For that reason, we strongly advise that if you are planning a vacation to Sea Isle City or any other Jersey Shore location from Memorial Day forward, you should reserve and pay for your rental lodging several months in advance. While June isn’t the busiest month of the year, it is the first official month of the summer beach season, and gets very crowded on weekends.

In Sea Isle City, there tend to still be rental openings during the weekdays of June. Plus the beaches tend to be less crowded. So we recommend considering a trip to Sea Isle during the weekdays if you are able. The great thing about the Colonnade Inn is that we are very flexible and don’t force you into staying a whole week like many beach house rentals do. In fact, during the summer, we only have a 3 night minimum stay. So instead of paying for a whole week, you are free to save a little money by staying as few as 3 days.

Sea Isle City Vacations in May

May is the month when things really start bustling in Sea Isle City as vacationers begin flocking to the shore. May is certainly not the busiest month of the summer, but it marks the start of a rental season that reaches maximum capacity in July and August.

The great thing about May is that the temperatures aren’t yet hot, but they are often warm enough (mid 70s) to lay out on the beach. Sea Isle City doesn’t get too crowded in May, especially on the weekdays. Weekends still haven’t peaked, but you will notice that businesses and restaurants start opening up for the summer season.

May is one of our favorite times at the Jersey Shore because it marks the official beginning of the summer season. But we also like May because the beaches aren’t crowded at all even though the weather is perfect. The main reason for the smaller crowds is that most kids are still in school. This changes in June when the pace really picks up.

In May it is not uncommon for us to see college professors from Rowan, Temple or St. Joe’s University, who have just gotten done grading their last exams and want to unwind. College students also like to come to the shore after a long semester’s worth of work.

And don’t forget that Memorial Day, the semi-official first day of Summer is at the end of May. But let us assure you that there will be no vacancies on Memorial Day so if you want to celebrate your Memorial Day in Sea Isle City,NJ , hurry up and book your room as soon as possible.

Sea Isle City, New Jersey is a great place to get away in the month of May. And the next time you are here, we’d love to have you stay at the Colonnade Inn - (psssssss….we have jacuzzis!)

Visiting Sea Isle City, NJ in March

March is still considered “off-season” at Sea Isle City and the rest of the Jersey Shore, but you can be sure that things start to pick up as winter comes to an end.

Many South Jersey and Philadelphia residents enjoy spending their St. Patrick’s day weekend gathered together at the shore, visiting local pubs and bars, and just having a great time. Sea Isle has several bars that are open for St. Patty’s weekend and also features a 30 block St. Patrick’s day parade from 93rd to 63rd streets.

The following weekend, Sea Isle City has its annual Ocean Drive Marathon that normally brings in a decent size crowd. If you enjoy running or if you know someone who does, make sure to let them know about this great event.

Did you know that the Jersey Shore is one of the most popular Spring Break destinations in the North East? It’s true. Sea Isle City always sees an upsurge of visitors coinciding with the Spring Break schedule of many colleges and universities. Looking for a spring break location but don’t want to deal with the huge Florida crowds? Consider staying in Sea Isle City.

Visiting Sea Isle City in March can be a great way to celebrate the coming summer and to begin the thaw-out process from winter. The weather is typically in the mid-50s throughout March which is great weather for a nice long stroll along the beach.

No matter what your reason for visiting the Jersey Shore in March, the Colonnade Inn is open year round and offers affordable lodging in units ranging from 1-3 bedrooms, with great amenities like fireplaces and jacuzzis.

Polar Bear Plunge Weekend in Sea Isle City

Each year, Sea Isle City hosts thousands of people for Polar Bear Plunge weekend. Basically, the main attraction of the Polar Plunge is an event where a few thousand people watch a few hundred crazy people jump into the ice cold Atlantic Ocean. But that’s all that goes on. The Polar Bear Plunge is a weekend long event, with plenty of partying and fun. Several of the local bars open up just for this weekend. It truly is a great time.

If you’re looking for a place to stay during the Polar Plunge weekend, look no further than The Colonnade Inn. Unlike most locations in Sea Isle, we’re open year round and ready for your visit. Plus, we offer jacuzzi tubs, morning coffee and pastries and even a big screen HDTV in our lounge.

The Colonnade Inn Maid Service

Want to live in luxury on your next Jersey Shore vacation to Sea Isle City? The Colonnade Inn is the perfect place! We offer daily maid service which includes fresh linens, vacuuming, restocking of bathroom supplies and more. So every day when you come back to your room, it will be like new!

Most vacationers in Sea Isle City have to worry about the clean up process, especially on the last day. In fact, some people spend the entire last day of their vacation cleaning their house rental. By staying at the Colonnade Inn, you can avoid the hassle of vacuuming and cleaning all together, and instead enjoy your shore vacation the way its supposed to be spent (not cleaning!)

Colonnade Feature: The Large Wrap-Around Porch

The Colonnade Inn features a large wrap around porch with an ocean view and several pieces of outdoor furniture, spread out for privacy. The porch affords our guests the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze while reading a book.

The entire porch is covered by a roof, providing protection from both the sun and the elements and even allowing storm lovers a place to look out onto the ocean during a storm, which can be quite an exhilarating experience.

The Colonnade Inn is the only lodging in Sea Isle City to offer a large wrap around porch to its guests, so if you’re a vacationer who loves reading a book with an ocean breeze and an ocean view minus the sand, why not visit us on your next trip?
