How can I go about finding a reasonable beachhouse for the summer for a group of 10 (early 20's) near NYC?

check out www.newyork.craigslist.org and the Sunday NY Times or Asbury Park Press (NJ) real estate section. There are also cheap places in Neptune City in NJ as they are older houses. No liquor on the beach there, however

a good commercial realtor could help, also just drive areas where you would like to locate and then ask other tenants and people in the neighborhoods

Find a nearby house which does have a landlord that allows them to recycle, and setup a plan with them. They might go for it.

look for a family with a gst house. We did that, we owned a home and had 4 lil beach homes in the back and rented them out to whoever seemed cool. check it out.

check out some country-clubs in the yellow pages. They usually have decent rates (and their used to putting up with rich stiffs)

Craig's list and you can also email your info to buyhomes@myway.com Be sure to give the full details, size, type, area of land, area of building complete address with zip code and a picture if possible. The population of the location would also be a great help for out of towners, seeking a get-away\npeaceful location or vise-vers. Those who want neighbours with kids, so that their kids will have play-mates. Good. Luck

try the hud home program.  i believe there is a waiting list but it is probably the most popular

See if there's a B&B that will let you rent  out part of the place for a wedding (that's what I did for a small wedding - it's cost me 100.00) small wedding party 25 people.\n\nYou could try a public park - or a relative- who has a large enough area for the wedding.

I have always heard that the universities,colleges, etc. rent out the empty dorms during the summer. Another idea,not sure how close it is or if it is in NYC,Youth Hostel,depending on your age or Senior Hostel if that fits the age category.

You have a variety of options:\n\n1. The newest thing is a place in Huntington Beach called Pravda Surf http://www.pravdasurf.com You know those places where you can brew your own beer or make your own pottery? It's like that. The guy's name is Valentin Shmidov. For around $325 he'll walk you through the entire process, all materials and tools included. He's featured in the May 2006 issue of Surfing  Magazine. \n\n2. You can simply walk into you local surfshop and ask them. Try to find someone older, and not one of the annoying punk kids. They should be able to connect you with one of their shapers or point you to some books and DVD's which walk you through the process.\n\n3. OR, you can take the DIY approach. Clear some room out of your garage, buy a planer and some blanks, and start blowing foam dust! There are some good books/DVDs available, as well as this wonderful tutorial from Surfline and Dave Parmenter http://www.surfline.com/mag/features/how_to_shape/ It has step-by-step instructions and tons of great video clips. \n\nHave fun!!!

petco park, how about a hot air balloon over the temecula valley wine region,or a gondola ride out of long beach. rent a room with a jucuzzi in it,you could have dinner delivered,set the table,candles,flowers,etc,set the mood! what could be better no phones,nobody knocking on your door except for the food of course. and then its just relax-relax no curfews,no parents!!

Huntington Beach in Bay Village, Ohio is a good one.  It's on the West Side.

I think a $100-$150 a week is fair depending on what part of Brooklyn. I'm from NY as well and see ads in the paper for rooms for rent at about that range.

I just finished planning a long island wedding and girl do I feel your pain. Very expensive!  It depends on how many people your going to invite and to be honest, maybe doing it at home is the best idea if you have the space.  There is the polish american club in port jeff that is very affordable to rent out, the setauket house which is very nice and some what affordable http://www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com/  Renting a hall and catering food with decorations and everything is probably going to cost you at least 2000 making your own food will help a lot.  Good luck! and Congrats!
