Thinking of coming over from Davenport for our anniversary. How accessible is the town, and restaurants. Also where are great places to stay that are also wheelchair friendly. Thank you.

Hi,

Has anyone had luck renting a wheelchair accessible home on the Jersey Shore, NJ (ideally down near Cape May area) or another East Coast (Delaware beaches, Rhode Island coast, etc) ocean town? We arent having luck with Air Bnb or Vrbo-& think we may have more luck with local rental agencies who have a long established reputation versus one time Airbnb type hosts (also if the house doesnt end up being accessible when we got there, a local agency could help us find another one vs an airbnb host wouldnt)-we also use a fully electric hospital bed at home for our loved one-so having a bed that could go go up and down at the head at least and also fit a hoyer lift under it would be helpful-ive heard of companies like Clouds for Good could deliver these if needed? even if we found a regular bed that has the head go up and down and we brought our own foldable hoyer lift in a wheelchair van, that could work-would be nice to be in/near a town that has an accessible place to see the beach and/or rent wheelchair beach chairs-has anyone heard of beach chairs brands/models that tilt back and/or have lateral supports (like a tilt in space wheelchair)? alot of the rentable beach wheelchairs dont look to have anything but flimsy narrow plastic arm rests on the side-thanks for any help/insights!

…to all the posts answering my question about disability upcharges. Our episode today was on that topic. And thanks again to accessiblego for letting me post on this community. Everyone should listen and enter this season's contest.
