[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poster who says it's "same stuff, different location" has obviously never bought a vacation home (or the right vacation home) and never should.

Look on the rivers in SoMD (St. Mary's/Potomac/Pax).  Anywhere from 80 to 120 minutes max from NoVA with zero traffic (once you get past the beltway).  Are there great beaches?  No, but we aren't beach people. Sit on the deck (more comfortable/less sand), watch the sun rise or set, take in the breeze, buy a boat.  Be around normal people.  It's the best, and is the furthest thing from being home. [/quote]

I am the poster that said maintenance was basically the same stuff in a different location.  We have a house a on Hilton Head. A majority of maintenance on a house is tied to wear and tear.   If you are adding wear and tear in one place you aren't in another.  We designed the house and landscaping to be relatively maintenance free.[/quote]

Total bs.  The weather on the Mid-Atlantic coast is brutal on homes in the winter.  Hilton Head is further south I suppose, so maybe less so.  But a beach house anywhere from the OBX north gets killed in the winter.  The closer to the beach, the worse it is.  And who wants a beach house that isn’t as close to the beach as you can get?[/quote]

Any beach house takes a ton of maintenance.[/quote]
