Living in Coastal & Southern Delaware and what makes it such a fantastic region.

Coastal Delaware Events in May 2013In our minds, the first and best draw for finding the Coastal Delaware home of your dreams is the fact that you will get to live in a home in Coastal Delaware. Given the natural beauty of the area, we're not sure any more incentive is needed. Some events coming up in May, however, have caught our eye, and they might just provide a little incentive to make the move.

Lewes is a beautiful little town on the DelMarVa Peninsula and they proudly bear the motto "The First Town in The First State." The picturesque quality of Lewes makes for a great visit (or perfect home) any time of the year, but be sure to drop by on May 4th for the Lewes British Motorcar Show. An amazing afternoon of springtime in Delaware, highlighted by stylish British cars and a fine fare…

History of Rehoboth BeachThe City of Rehoboth Beach began its history in the late 19th Century when in 1872, a religious group purchased 414 acres for the purpose of a Beach Camp meeting grounds. When the founders purchased the land, they also set up a boardwalk, hotel, tent houses and a post office. The official name became “Rehoboth Beach Association” in 1879. Soon after, the original activities of the religious group were discontinued, but the community that had formed around the camp thrived.

Throughout the early 1900’s, the community grew. In 1903, the town elected its first mayor, and amenities including fire and police protection, telephone service, water and a gas system soon followed. In 1937, the name was changed to the City of Rehoboth Beach.

Today, the City of…

Rehoboth Beach Vacation RentalsSummer vacationers should book vacation rentals in Rehoboth Beach early this year due to Superstorm Sandy’s devastation to the Jersey Shore. Carol Everhart, president and CEO of the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce reported a drastic increase in reservations for summer vacation rentals this year in an interview with WBOC TV16.

“While we don't like to capitalize on the misgivings of others, we were very fortunate to have survived Superstorm Sandy relatively undamaged at Rehoboth and Dewey Beach,” remarked our very own rental division manager, Joseph Cascio, to the Cape Gazette.

Rehoboth Beach Chocolate FestivalAs great as February has been living in Coastal Delaware, we have to admit that we are looking forward to March. Not that there's anything wrong with February, but rather that March 1st is a bit of a big day on our calendars. 

First off, we're thinking about making a day trip north to Winterthur, just a bit past Wilmington. Pronounced "winter-tour," it is the premier museum of American decorative arts, and it is reopening on the first of March. The museum itself is just an amazing testament to style and design, and it sits on a 60-acre naturalistic garden. It's great to visit when spring has fully sprung, and all the amazing colors of nature can be seen in full bloom. The problem is that we may not be able to wait; some of us are champing at the bit for…

coastal-delaware-livingPerhaps you’ve vacationed along the Delaware Coast and can’t get it off your mind—not just the abundant shopping, dining and night life, but surf fishing in one of the beautiful bays, or going deep on an offshore ocean charter.

Was it the golf in the Bayside Resort Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, that stole your heart?—if not one of the other top-rated golf clubs in the area, like King’s Creek Country Club or Cripple Creek Golf and Country Club.

Did you stumble upon authentic sunken-treasure coins along a public beach and discover they were yours to keep? That, of course, led you to the DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum, where you indeed discovered a collection of 10,000 shipwreck and recovered artifacts that is one of the largest in the…
