Where is your vacation house? Where would you get one?

Maine. But we rent it out except for two weeks a summer.

do you use services for renting out the home?

We are in richmond, so obx is close enough but i worry about erosion, global warming and hurricanes.

That does not exist here. You’re right. Not even close.

OP, chill out. Even if it is as bad as you think, some people might just enjoy different things.

Agreed!

I know a number of retirees as well as folks who still work and (gasp!) happily live year-round in Lewes, Rehoboth, Bethany and even Ocean City!

The locals I know uniformly agree that the area is much better off-season when the tourists stay away. May and September/October at the beach are gorgeous! April and early November can be surprisingly nice. Winter walks at the beach when it’s sunny are lovely.

Bethany, Lewes and Rehoboth have a small town feel and community activities. The best restaurants are open year round. The local churches are quite active.
