Not too many families from DC go there anymore. Most go to OBX. Rehoboth got too expensive. A nice house with a pool is $15,000 a week. [/quote]

[b]As a native Marylander from MoCo who works in DC, my peer group (solidly Gen X) has a family beach house (either their own or their parents’ house or a sibling’s house)[/b]. Everyone still goes—and many still rent. It’s a generational nostalgia.

We know OBX and Sandbridge are cheaper, but we want to go to our old haunts for crabs, pizza, ice cream, Minigolf, etc.

And we take our “real” vacations elsewhere. [/quote]

Another local here and this is definitely the case with my friends (and myself). We go to OC/Fenwick because we have family and parents who own places there. Most of my friends growing up had parents with places there because they were easier to buy back then--$50K would get you a 2-bedroom condo in the 90s and their primary homes that they bought in the early 80s only cost $40K. So it was affordable. And they still have those same places so we can spend a good bit of time there over the summer but still afford another "real" vacation. No way I would spend $8K, $10K, $15K to rent a place in MD or DE. But for free....[/quote]
