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.

Then forget the Hamptons. $4-6M beachfront never.

This, but it's likely less walkable than Rehoboth and colder.

I love Martha’s Vineyard, Edgartown to be exact, but that’s not warm all year round. Very walkable.

If thinking warmer then 30A. Family friends have a place on Hilton Head they love. Honestly, I would start looking and maybe rent places next summer and see what areas you really like. It’s all personal preference.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but maybe look at beach communities near fairly decent-sized cities.

Beaches close to Wilmington, NC…Tybee Island about 20 miles from Savannah has a very walkable commercial area and walkable to beach and is close to Savannah.

The weather is temperate from March/April through November in Tybee.

Well Fire Island out on Long Island everything is walkable as no cars in summer and every house is walkable to beach.

The plus is the Ferry does not run at night and extremely few hotels so no annoying tourists to ruin your night.

Plus rentals under 30 days illegal so no annoying AirBnB homes everywhere.

That's certainly what I would do if i had that kind of cash. I wouldn't want to worry about whether my land was going to disappear or hurricanes when I'm not there etc.

I am not OP…but I think DE is too cold easily 6 months out of the year.

Why is that surprising? I don’t much like 50 degree days or colder with a cold wind blowing off the ocean.

We love Kiawa. It is about 40 minutes from charleston so possible to fly and uber to your house if you leave a car there. Very temperate weather and it is so pretty. Although getting warmer I feel like the beach still has the beachy look that you get in the mid-atlantic with dunes etc.. Houses are beautiful

What do you want in your community? Showy - Nantucket, Hamptons, Kiawah, More chill - Martha's vineyard, bald head island, hilton head, Cape May.

If looking at Kiawah, look into the Cassique area.

What about Palm Beach?
