I agree. Kind of strange that someone with OP's wealth hasn't traveled enough to at least develop some preliminary ideas or preferences.


OP has probably been working hard on the family business and enjoying his/her ocean block beach house a short drive from DC. What kind of comment is this anyway?

That or Nantucket. Nantucket may be more OPs vibe but both are nicer than Rehoboth. Neither meet OPs request for warm water though.

I agree too. Definitely don't solicit ideas from others. Always best to be closed minded and know that no one else could have ideas that are either better or different than you have already considered

OP here. Pretty wide open. But not Florida or Texas. In retirement we are likely to end up somewhere between dc and Boston.

I thought you asked this Q last year. Same story. Same responses.

We’ve been looking in Alys beach and, sadly, $6M doesn’t get you much at this point. If you are ok with small then there are options, but not a lot
