A Delaware move starts with more than a house.

Compare Lewes’ bay beach, Rehoboth’s oceanfront and boardwalk, the downtown and river settings of Milton or Milford, and different home and community choices farther inland.

Start with your priorities: beach or town access, home layout, amenities, outdoor space and everyday routes. Then compare insurance, HOA or condo dues, maintenance and other ownership costs—not just the asking price.

My Coastal Delaware relocation guide includes a regional map, clickable local resources and a buyer questionnaire to help turn those priorities into a more focused search.

Save this for your next visit. Message MOVE to request the full guide.

One of Coastal Delaware’s most exclusive places to live… is a tiny town you might not even know exists.

Tucked just north of Rehoboth Beach, this roughly 123-acre community sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lewes–Rehoboth Canal. But it’s not just a neighborhood… it’s one of Delaware’s smallest incorporated towns.

Developed in 1930 by Col. Wilbur S. Corkran and incorporated in 1970, it was designed around its natural surroundings. The winding roads and spacious homesites were deliberately laid out to preserve trees and views, giving it a distinctly different feel from the surrounding beach communities.

Within this little town, you’ll find a town marina, a private members-only beach club, and the beautiful, historic campus of the Rehoboth Art League.

To me, the appeal is that balance: a quiet, wooded setting with room to breathe, while Rehoboth’s restaurants, shops, and boardwalk are still close by. You don’t have to choose between feeling tucked away and being near everything.

And homes here often sell before they ever even hit the market.

Welcome to Henlopen Acres.

One of Rehoboth’s biggest Halloween festivals is almost here… and these are the locals’ secrets to making the most of it. 🎃🍂

Sea Witch returns October 23–25! Save these tips:

🔵 Start Friday. Community Fair: 12–5 PM at the Bandstand. Indoor vendors and Kids’ Corner: 12–6 PM at the Convention Center.

⚪ Arrive early Saturday. The parade starts at 11 AM! Rehoboth Avenue closes to traffic at 2 AM; vehicle crossings at First and Second streets stop at 9:30 AM. Grab breakfast and settle into your viewing spot early.

🔵 Know your parking. Friday’s overnight ban ends at 6 AM; park only where signs permit. Saturday: no median parking from 1 AM through the parade. The Avenue reopens after fence removal, expected around 4 PM. Find a legal side-street spot and plan to walk.

⚪ Stay after the parade. Saturday’s Sea Witch Hunt runs 1–5 PM, beach games and broom toss start at 2 PM, and downtown merchants’ trick-or-treating runs 6:30–7:30 PM.

🔵 Come back Sunday. The dog parade starts at 1 PM, with registration/judging at noon and winners announced at the Bandstand at 2:30 PM. Outdoor vendors run 10 AM–4 PM.

⚪ Eat before the rush. Reserve dinner where possible and explore Baltimore and Wilmington avenues, too. Support your favorite local spots!

Take your chairs and belongings when you leave the parade—the city collects unattended items afterward.

THIS is what just under $3 million gets you in Dewey Beach. 🌊

Seven bedrooms. A private heated pool. A rooftop deck with ocean views. And the beach just steps from your front door.

At 14 Swedes Street, the value goes beyond the ocean-block address. You’re getting room to bring the whole family, spaces made for entertaining, and your own private retreat in the middle of everything that makes Dewey so much fun.

There’s an income side, too: this home is projected to generate $300,000 in gross rental revenue this year. That’s serious rental potential alongside a place to enjoy your own beach weeks.. not just a beautiful home.

For buyers considering the $3 million range, that combination of location, size, amenities and income potential makes this one worth a closer look.

📍 14 Swedes Street, Dewey Beach
Offered at $2,950,000

One of Rehoboth’s best fall weekends is happening right now. 🎷🍂

The Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival is back October 15–18, celebrating its 37th year!

What began in 1990 as a way to bring visitors to the beach after summer has grown into a four-day celebration of jazz and R&B. Over the years, legends like George Benson, Dionne Warwick, Al Jarreau, and Queen Latifah have taken its stages.

This year’s lineup includes Boney James, Brian Culbertson, Najee, Gerald Albright, Keiko Matsui, and Damien Escobar, with performances across Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Dewey Beach—including the Convention Center and Rusty Rudder. Sunday’s signature Grand Jam helps close out the weekend.

Behind it all are the organizers, local businesses, sponsors, and community partners who make this tradition possible. The nonprofit Delaware Celebration of Jazz also supports cancer care through Beebe Healthcare’s Tunnell Cancer Center. 💙

My tip? Choose your show, check the venue, and reserve dinner nearby so you can make an evening of it.

For me, it’s another reason I love living in Coastal Delaware. Our beaches may be famous for summer, but some of our best experiences happen after Labor Day.

Top down, sun out… not a bad day at the office. ☀️🚗

Spent the day showing homes on the Eastern Shore, and we’ve seen some beautiful properties along the way! Days like this make it easy to picture a little more time by the coast. 🏡

One of my favorite parts of exploring with clients is looking beyond the house itself. The neighborhood, the surroundings, where you’d grab your morning coffee… it all matters when you’re finding a place to call home.

Thinking about a move from the city to the shore, or just curious about your options? Follow along for more local insight, or send me a message anytime. Let’s get exploring!

One of Rehoboth’s biggest weekends of the fall is almost here… 🎃

The Festival returns October 23–25, celebrating 36 years of one of Rehoboth’s favorite traditions!

Downtown Rehoboth comes alive with costumes, live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and of course, the famous Sea Witch Costume Parade down Rehoboth Avenue on Saturday.

A little local advice: come early and make your reservations in advance! Rehoboth gets busy for Sea Witch, and the parade is one of those events people plan their entire weekend around.

It’s weekends like this that make fall such a special time to be in Rehoboth. Summer may be over, but our beach towns definitely aren’t slowing down!
