[quote=Anonymous]We are actively looking for a second home on the Delmarva peninsula. The goal would be to use it for occasional weekends (long weekends when school is out plus every now and then regular weekends) and school breaks. We have jobs that allow us to work remotely. We have elementary aged kids, none of whom are active in sports and our weekends are pretty light on activities. We plan to have local maintenance help. We would not be renting it out.

We would be coming from the north, so bridge traffic is not an issue, though we plan for relatives from the DC area to use the house as well. We had set our initial radius as a 2 hour drive, but we are finding more attractive properties (price, space, location) that are a 3 hour drive.

Are we crazy to consider this long of a drive? It means there would be no one-night visits, but it also means we would have more potential to host friends and/or expand in the long term. I'd appreciate any perspective from folks who have chosen a place in that 2-3 hour (or longer) zone.
