This can mean significant upfront savings while still providing the benefits of ownership, personal use, and income potential. With a proven rental history and strong peak-season rental potential, seasonal rental income can help offset the annual land-lease expense.**  Whether you're searching for your own place at the Shore, a vacation property with income potential, or an established seasonal rental, this Lavallette home offers a compelling combination of **location, lifestyle, water views, rental history, and value.**
