Maryland or Delaware Shore Vacation?

mayachel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,275 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2008	Hello, I'm looking for ideas to take a vacation for a couple of days next week along the water and beachyness in either Maryland or Delaware. Any ideas? Recommendations of where to start? General locations that we should check out? Thanks.

Ocean city is a very touristy spot, but fun. It's not much, but hopefully that'll serve as a starting point. Also try tripadvisor.com - they have some good suggestions usually. ~~ Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough. ~~

You might really like Lewes, DE - it's got a historic small town feel. Plus, you can take the ferry to Cape May, NJ from there, which is a quaint Victorian beach town. Bethany Beach is also nice, though it does have a small boardwalk. Still, you can rent tons of condos or houses that are not in the two block radius of the boardwalk. Even though Rehoboth and Dewey are fun, there is a lot of action, so if you are looking to get away from it all, I would avoid those.

Bethany is crowded too, but more homes/small condos instead of high rises - lots of families there. Lewes is definitely a good choice, love the vibe there. Also if you're not set on staying super close to the beach, I love Ocean Pines, MD. I'm biased because my family has owned homes there for 15 years, but it's a great community that is away from the craziness of the beach, but most rental homes there will have a beach club pass which will allow you to drive the 15 minutes into Ocean City, park at their beach club and have restroom access during the day. I'm happy to offer any more advice I can - let me know if you have specific questions! Steph Getting married 4-30-2010!

Beautiful beach, wonderful boardwalk, sweet little downtown... all very fun and family oriented and without the crushing crowds of the larger beach towns. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

Trying to factor in the pros and cons of hotels in each area and going rates. The Hotel Rehoboth would have been a sure win, but it does not have our dates available.

Lynn B Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,138 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 5/9/2004	There is a Holiday Inn (Express?) right beside the Sea Colony parking lot at Bethany, have you checked there? Also, Sea Colony (condos) is awesome, that's where we always stay. We LOVE these two condos: Dover 705 and Chesapeake 709; they are both just gorgeous and we unreservedly RECOMMEND! Here's some links... http://www.resortquestdelaware.com/ http://www.seacolonyrecreation.org/ http://www.townofbethanybeach.com/ And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

IdLikeToBuyAVal Rough Rock Total Posts: 54 Last Post: 11/3/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2009	I'm late contributing but we stayed in Bethany Beach last year and it was beautiful! We got a great beach house through Coldwell Banker (cbvacations.com) and they have a local office in Bethany (it was right down the road from the beach house). Also, we were incredibly close to a golf course so Andrew & his dad could go play golf while I slept in and vacationed :) Engaged June 13th, 2009! Valerie

mayachel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,275 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2008	So, after dilly dallying around for the last 3 days-oh right, that was life- much to my df's chagrin I did not pick a place! So...we are headed out today with a list of names and phone numbers and will call as we go to see who has three nights available. In the running are: Sea Witch Atlantic House Savannah Inn Delaware Inn Rehoboth Guest House Corner Cupboard Cabana Gardens Hotel Rehoboth*my favorite, but df wants more of a b&b feel sea voice sussex house If you happen to know anything about one of these choices, we'd be happy to read about it. We'll be in the car soon, but with internet on the cell.
