Rehoboth Beach Living Blog

Often as a Realtor in a small town along the Atlantic Ocean I am asked by my clients, a lot, about life at the beach or Beach Life.  And it took me a while to get it, but what they where really asking me is how do you live here?  I mean they wanted to know what I do; on a daily basis.  Where I went, what I ate, who I knew, and what were the winters like.  And of course how do you give up the “city-life” for the laid back life at the beach.  Well since I am not yet at retirement age, life at the beach is still work, but without the commute.  And let’s face it who would like to be rid of waiting in traffic.  Now if I am waiting it is only because of the new light that was added North of the circle on the Avenue when its time to leave the beach.

So let me tell you that beach life is fun, laid back, and sophisticated.  Yeah flip flops to Black tie.  Living in Rehoboth Beach or our neighboring beach communities, you will find great happy hours, educational programs for young and old, a health campus, specialized medicine and even formal balls and world class entertainment.  I was just thinking back as the leaves start to turn that, Jazz Fest will soon be here, and one of my favorites programs was 2 years ago when Queen Latifa performed at the convention center.  After four glasses of red wine a friend and I rushed the stage past the auditorium seating and sang every song with the Jazz Diva until the lights came up.  I am sure she will remember Rehoboth well, but not sure if she’ll come back.

Yeah, this is Delmarva.  And yes the birthplace of the broiler chicken production, where Crab Cakes are best served with Chicken Salad and locals believe they are still living in the South, well at least moving that way.   But we are just miles away from the most tax unfriendly state, New Jersey, and they are jumping ship.  Welcome to fantasy Island, where there is 25 miles of coastline, zero sales tax, and property taxes based on a 70’s assessment.
