Check in a few times a month as member experiences are revealed!

Adam was born in New York City but spent most of his life in the Philadelphia suburbs. He and his wife have two daughters, the oldest an early childhood educator and the youngest a student at Temple University.
Q: Tell us about your second home(s) in the club.
A: Our 2 homes (Cape May Luxury and Beautiful Reunion House at the Point) that we have offered to ThirdHome members are located in Cape May Point, NJ. Cape May Point is unlike any other place along the New Jersey shoreline. It has lovely beaches, with a historic lighthouse, the Red Store with local specialties to eat. It is quiet and peaceful and a great place for families to spend time. Close to Cape May with countless wonderful restaurants, boardwalk and great shopping and short ride from Atlantic City if you’re looking for real excitement. Our two homes are essentially brand new having been renovated down to the studs from top to bottom within the last few years. They are spacious, open, light and plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to relax and spend time.
Q: What has been your most memorable ThirdHome trip?
A: Our most memorable trip was a family trip to Costa Rica Four Seasons. Beautiful country, wonderful people – a real treat.
Q: What has been your experience hosting other ThirdHome members?
A: We have had very positive experience hosting ThirdHome Members. Each ThirdHome guest has taken good care of our property and we have enjoyed hosting them.
Q: How much money do you think ThirdHome has saved you to date?
A: Well over $30,000.
Q: What is one item that you always pack in your suitcase?
A: I always pack an extra charger (my wife never remembers hers).
Q: When traveling, do you plan your vacation activities out or go with the flow?
A: Both. We often will make dinner reservations in advance if there are restaurants we want to make sure we can get into, but we also enjoy just relaxing and making day-to-day plans as the week progresses.
