When I was a kid spending summers at the Shore, luxury was the furthest thing from anyone’s mind. It was all about sand and surf and the freedom of bare feet, late sundowns and no school. However, now that we’re all older, we sometimes want to pamper ourselves in a little luxury, even when we’re at the beach and in Rehoboth Beach Delaware we have plenty of opportunity to do just that. Here are some ideas to consider for that special trip to the beach:
In 1969, the sleepy little town of Woodstock, New York became a household word. Everyone was suddenly aware of where it was and what was (or wasn’t) there. It’s nearly 40 years later. What’s going on in Woodstock, now?
Long before the famous Rock Festival catapulted it into the spotlight, Woodstock was already a mecca for writers, artists and musicians. The oldest continuous chamber music festival in the country, the Maverick Concerts, has been hosted there since 1916 and the 350 acre Byrdcliff Arts Colony, a haven for artists of all kinds, has been around since 1903.
Americans have been vacationing at Nags Head North Carolina since the 1830’s and with very good reason - the beach! The barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks, of which Nags Head is a part, have some of the best beaches in the country.
While walking beside the ocean, you get the feeling that the thin strand of sand goes on forever. (It really stretches 100 miles.) There’s the soothing rhythm of breaking waves on one side and tall sand dunes dotted with sea oats on the other.

I love vacation rentals.? I have a husband, 2 kids - and a couple dogs - so when we vacation it’s a moving department store/zoological park.? We are dragging around the favorite bunny for sleeping, the special pillow, extra pup treats and the video games.? That’s a bunch of junk to cram in your run-of-the-mill hotel room.? Vacation Rentals are the perfect alternative - there’s plenty of room, you can cook breakfast (or throw donuts at everyone, including the dogs) so you dont have to get up at 7am while you’re on VACATION.? Bonus points - they usually have a washer and dryer - and more than one TV.? It’s like being at home - but you’re not!? A vacation rental at the beach is a necessity - here’s why:
