Looking for a place where we spend most if not the entire summer.
I want lots of walkable amenities Walkable to beach. A major plus if we could visit not just in the summer. Would be nice if we could occasionally go for a long weekend. We just sold our house in a great location in rehoboth. I was thinking in the $4-$6M range but we are flexible on price. Does not have to be local. But I would like it to be easy to get to. |

| Tell us why you sold the Rehoboth house. What was and wasn’t working for you? |

| I was going to ask the same as above poster. You already owned a beach house and sold it - why? what was and wasn’t working for you? |

Most big beach areas $4-6 million isn't enough for "walkable." Or it just doesn't exist because hotels own the waterfront.

Op here. It was a great house but we’re looking to upgrade. For us an upgrade in rehoboth would have been beachfront which starts around $6M. That would still be a possibility (there are none currently on the market) but I’d like to consider alternatives. The biggest negatives to Rehoboth are that beach weather is really only about 2-3 months and it is really too cold for me to enjoy the outdoors for 4-6 months for year. I’d also prefer if spending say $6M that my house be more typical of the houses there rather than toward the nicest of the housing stock. |

We like North Myrtle Beach. It has most of what you are looking for, but not a ton of walkable amenities. Still, it's a nice vibe here and not crowded like Rehoboth.

What about Ocean Isle?

| Kiawah or one of the other Carolina beach towns. |

| Nantucket. Easy flights from DC. Summer is short but it’s nice in fall and holiday season if you don’t mind cold. |

We love Bald Head Island, North Carolina. Here are 3 houses in your range there. NOT in the Outer Banks. A lot of charm.
