What People Say: Tell us what you love About Delaware

“Proximity to DC and water”

“ You can't beat the Delaware beaches. Clean, fun, no sales tax and close to Washington (area I grew up in). Bought a 2nd home in Bethany Beach and never looked back. Once the kids are gone, my wife and I will transplant permanently to this area. Can't wait. ”

“ I love jogging in the State Parks in Delaware. There are some great trails in the Cape Henlopen State Park for runners. There's also the Junction and Breakwater trail between Lewes and Rehoboth that is beautiful and soft on the knees. My favorite is the running trail around Gordon's Pond in North Rehoboth. It's absolutely amazing back there. ”

“Location”

“ Very tough to choose just one. I love taking Kai, my Golden Retriever, to the Cape Henlopen State Park beach and letting her play in the ocean and sand. Especially in the winter you'll get those warm spells and most of the time we're the only people in sight. ”

“ Meeting the chickens that lay my eggs at Dawn's Place. Farmer's markets. $15 off season dinner specials. No traffic on the back roads (shhh!). The town of Lewes, the town of Milton, Que Pasa, the Buttery, fishing, the boardwalk at Rehoboth, Big Fish Grill, no sales tax, no personal property tax, inspection and registration process at DMV. Being here instead of having to come here. ”

“ I feel so blessed to live here at the beach! My husband is from Baltimore and I am from northern NJ, and we decided to split it in the middle and move to Rehoboth in 2001. To be able to start my mornings with my toes in the ocean and live in a town where everyone on the street smiles at you and greets you is so beautiful! We love it here! Bike riding to Gordon's Pond lookout is great! ”

“Tax free shopping and the water.”

“ I love watching my kids grow up loving and learning about the ocean -- playing beach soccer, finding sand crabs with their cousins, and making shell necklaces -- memories they will never forget. ”

“The blend of diversity and proximity of entertainment. The best health care to fit my needs are at hand.”

“like lower tax and is affordable to live comfortable”

“Peace”

“I am still deciding”

“I don't know much right now I'll have to bone up, online.”

“ We have everything you could ever dream of to do here year round ~ Film Festival, Kite Festival, Seawitch Festival, Coast Day, Autumn Jazz Festival and it all begins and ends with the ocean as our horizon and our center. And when I get the itch to feel "the big city"...I have four of the best choices in the world within a 2 to 4 hour drive (Philly,Baltimore,DC & NYC). What better location could there be on the East Coast? ”

“Retirement”

“I love everything about de its peaceful n I love the water looking for my dream place for life”

“Where do I start? Fresh air, clean waterways, beautiful sunsets, lovely communities, clean...did I say clean?”

“ I always said I'd retire at the beach; I never knew I'd be so lucky as to start my career here right out of college. Six years later, I still have trouble believing that "vacation" is daily life for us! I feel very spoiled to have the ocean and beaches at our disposal everyday, not to mention all of the other recreational, historical and resort attractions. And I love that it's an easy commute to a number of cool major cities! Delaware packs a lot of punch into a small package. ”

“ ...I love waking up early to the smell of fresh brewed Hazelnut Coffee and then wandering down to Wagamons Pond with our kittens Paris and Gorky. While they chase bugs, climb trees and take dust baths, I sit serenely and enjoy as nature wakes to the sun sparkling across the water. On a lucky morning, Huey, Dewey and Louie (our "pet" river otters) will stop by for comic relief and to say good morning... ”
