My reward for bundling up and walking along the beach every day? Â Winter wildlife!
I regularly see peregrine falcons and oystercatchers; and occasionally a snowy owl or bald eagle.
With only the diehard surfers sharing the space, the dolphins glide by close to shore and ride the waves.
I have walked by -but not too close!- to sunbathing seals.
And on Saturday morning, I watched 2 whales slowly breaching above the calm water. Â Amazing!
A quick trip across the bay last week to Rehoboth Beach. Â We contributed to the local economy with shopping, golf, and dinner at downtown restaurants.
I find that we describe other beach communities by what we know here. Â So it seems logical (to me) to describe Rehoboth Beach as having “the vibe of Cape May, mixed with areas of Strathmere and old time Sea Isle”.

I have been taking advantage of the sunny fall days to update exterior and interior photos of rental listings using our new office camera. Â Tenants booking online often ask for my opinion, so it’s important to regularly walk through the properties to view any updates and the condition.
Whether a home is 3 years old or 30 years old, well maintained = clean carpets and furniture, newer mattresses and bed coverings, a functional kitchen, and comfortable deck furniture.
Tenants do not want to see marked up walls, stains on the rugs, faded sofas, or a rusty gas grill. Â And I would rather not use the word “tired” when describing a property to a potential tenant.
I am happy to help with recommendations.

Members of the Stone Harbor Garden Club hang seashore themed Christmas wreaths at various public areas throughout town. Â A nice back drop for my kayaking trip yesterday 😉
