[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a place at the beach during the early part of Covid when interest rates were very low and before the real run up in prices. It’s exactly 3 hours without traffic. Yes I wish it was closer but we are very much beach people. I could not get excited about a house on a lake or river. I like beach towns and all the things to do. We can walk to a lot of things including the beach. What makes it work is that my spouse works remotely and I am very part time and remote in the summer. Spouse is out there now to attend an event, and has off today so it works out. I will meet them there with the kids this weekend and stay through Monday evening. We go back and forth a lot until mid July then will spend a few weeks there before school starts.

We could get a bigger nicer home here if we didn’t have the beach house but what is the point… this area kind of sucks. I’d rather be able to get out of here and go somewhere with  a more laid back lifestyle and the ocean. [/quote]

I assume you’re in the DMV?  What about the winter?  That to me is the drawback of having a beach house in this area.  Sure, the occasional weekend there in the middle of the winter is fine, but it can’t be a regular thing.  Most places are closed, 90 percent of the houses are empty, the weather is cold and windy, no walking on the beach etc., and the local folks are generally either old or MAGA or both.  Not that there’s anything wrong with being old . . .

We go to Rehoboth regularly year round and the vast majority of restaurants are still open. And if there’s a MAGA crowd, there is also very much the opposite end of the political spectrum.[/quote]
