[quote=Anonymous]During covid we bought a rowhouse off Rt 1 about a 15 min drive into downtown reho with traffic.  The community has pools, paths, exercise rooms, etc, so for us it's a real escape with lovely views and stars in the night sky (we live in DC itself, so stars are improtant). I wish we had water access.

I think if it's just two of you, and you want escape, I'd search along the shores of Chesapeake Bay - closer, more affordable.  There are hidden gems.  I've seen people recommend North Beach or Chesapeake beach.  We used to go there when the kids were small for day trips.  I didn't think those tows were particularly charming, sad to say.  But I think you should think about what you really want (peavefulness?  quiet?  night sky? water view? waves? water access for boating, etc etc etc) and then just start exploring.

I grew up in a small town on the lower easrtern shore.  There's a lot of small places and hidden gems further down the shore, in Virginia, though a longer drive.  I don't know the upper bay as well, but I think it would be fun to epxlore.  I also grew up going to ocean City, and while I still love it, it's not what it once was. We looked a lot at places around 120th street. There are some good options. But for us for a variety of reasons (taxes being one, slightly closer, more friends from DC who travel there, more year round ammenities), Rehoboth won out.  [/quote]
