One of the most important decisions anyone will make regarding their vacation is where they stay. This is especially true for summer vacations at the beach. Everyone has a different idea of their ideal vacation, and where you stay can make or break the trip. Find the Perfect Beach Rental
My name is Maggie, and I don’t consider myself a typical attorney. I tried a few different kinds of law after passing the bar exam 14 years ago, but none of them gelled with my personality until I tried estate law. My work allows me to meet people, learn about them, and form relationships. It’s so much more social than most other practice areas. Litherland, Kennedy, & Associates also isn’t your typical law firm. I immediately learned that when I interviewed here while I was nine months pregnant with my youngest daughter. I had my interview on Saturday and went into labor on Sunday! Perhaps I was more Why I Love My Work HERE TO HELP
Here are a few things to consider before booking a beach rental for your vacation.
SIZE MATTERS How many people are coming on your trip? Is it just you and your significant other, or are children coming? You will want to pick a rental to fit your family’s needs. If your traveling party is small, a condo or apartment overlooking the beach will likely work. If your family is large or you’re worried about the kids being too loud, consider a single-family beach house instead. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION You probably already know what beach to visit, but choosing a specific unit can be challenging. Is a rental with a grand view of the beach and the ocean worth the cost, or is one without quite the view (but less expensive) still acceptable? You’ll also need to examine the surrounding area to ensure it has everything you need. If you don’t want to drive much once you settle in, choose a rental within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. THE EXTRAS You should consider a couple of other things when booking a beach rental. If you plan to bring your pets, ensure the rental you book is pet-friendly. It’s also worth investigating if the beach itself is dog-friendly, as bringing your furry friend to the beach can make the vacation even more enjoyable. Many rentals also provide beach toys, body boards, and more so you don’t have to spend money buying or renting them at shops. Read through the rental description, and don’t hesitate to ask the owner any questions.
impressive than I realized, but I think the fact that I got the job under those conditions speaks volumes about the family values of this practice. The team here is incredible; everyone works to help our clients achieve peace of mind. It’s like a breath of fresh air compared to many law offices, which are competitive and focused on billable hours. Instead of wondering how we can make more money, this firm’s philosophy is to ask how to make our clients happier.
Besides getting to know my clients and their families, my favorite part of this work is educating people about their
estate plans. Knowing you need estate planning documents differs from understanding how to use them. It is also essential to explain that estate planning is about more than what will happen after you die. I’ve faced many of the problems my clients do within my own family. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s, and my family endured the stress of determining how to care for her. We didn’t know what we were doing at the time, so as an estate planner now, I can give others a resource I didn’t have and hopefully provide some comfort. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my daughters, Ellie (8) and Allie (5). My hobbies include hiking, baking, and watching movies. The one genre I won’t watch is horror, but I enjoy everything from silly comedies to Best Picture award winners.
Since I grew up in San Jose and attended Prospect High School, I have a different relationship with many of our clients that dates back decades.
It’s incredibly fulfilling to help people I grew up with work through new phases of their lives — and make the process as pleasant as possible.
