Summer & Vacation Rentals in Delaware

Submitted by Joe Maggio on June 24th, 2015

Delaware is the perfect location to search for summer vacation rental properties, whether you’re in the market to buy to rent, or just looking for a summer rental for the family vacation.  With scenic views, idyllic beaches and a rich history, Delaware has everything to make your stay here a great experience. Renting a vacation property can help to take the stress out of finding accommodation too.  Offering a unique and more personalized experience than just another hotel, rentals are fully furnished and often property owners offer additional extras like surf boards, canoes and other beach paraphernalia to make your visit the best vacation ever!   

More Flexibility with Summer Rentals

For families staying in a hotel, the cost of room service and in-house restaurants can become expensive, and you are limited for space too. However, with many of the summer rental properties in Delaware, you have the luxury of renting the entire house, back-yard and often even have access to the beach or private dock, all for much less money than a hotel would cost.  You’ll also find that many holiday rentals sleep up to 10 people, more than enough room to invite friends and family at no additional cost.  Renting is a far more flexible, and cheaper option than booking a hotel, or bed and breakfast accommodation.

Vacation Properties in Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding areas are home to a host of vacation rental properties, so you’ll be sure the find exactly the right holiday home to fit your requirements.  It’s also possible to search, book and rent your vacation property online.

If you’re looking for the perfect beach side condo or larger property to entertain friends and family then call our rental agents at Joe Maggio Realty who will be happy to assist you with your search.  Each property is fully furnished so you’ll have everything you need to enjoy a great vacation, and some of our properties include use of community clubhouse, swimming pools, tennis courts and more, all included in the rental price.

 Finding the Perfect Coastal Location

Location is everything and when choosing a house for the summer holidays then you will have far more choice than you would for a hotel.  We have rentals right in the centre of town in the hustle and bustle of it all, or quieter locations for those that like to get away from it all and truly relax on their vacation.  We have beach view, waterfront and town houses all available for weekly and monthly rental periods.  

Local Communities in Southern Delaware

One of the many reasons to stay in a beach rental is the chance to be able to live like the locals for a short period of time. You can really get to know an area and its people by staying in close proximity to these Southern Delaware Communities.   And you may just stumble upon new friends and find new activities that you’d have missed if you’d stayed elsewhere!

Enjoy the many gifts of a Summer in Delaware 

Delaware has many fine beaches, nature trails and a whole host of attractions to while away the summer months. Vacation rentals can be rented for a week at a time or for the whole season. The flexibility of a vacation rental, along with getting to know the area and its communities can really enhance any vacation. Find your home away from home and enjoy your next getaway in Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding areas.

Making a Move to Historic Delaware

Submitted by Joe Maggio on April 23rd, 2015

Delaware State

No doubt your U.S. history class will have informed you that Delaware is known as the First State since it was the first to officially ratify the constitution of the United States on December 7th 1787. Along with Maryland to the South, Pennsylvania to the North and New Jersey to the West, Delaware is easily accessible from major cities and is a regular tourist vacation destination due to its fine beaches along the East coast. Although property prices in Delaware are rising, it still remains a popular place for families to purchase second homes because of the favourable tax situation – there is no sales tax and property tax is one of the lowest in the country.

Property Rentals & Homes For Sale in Delaware

Sussex County is an extremely popular destination not only for Delaware beach vacation rentals but also for purchasing a new home.  There are approximately 30 miles of unspoiled beaches and many other inland bodies of water too, so your dreams of owning a waterfront property in Delaware can become a reality. There are many communities in the area in which to buy a home such as the Spring Lake development near Rehoboth Beach.  These communities often include onsite bars and restaurants, swimming pools, tennis courts and other social activities.  Homes range from mobile homes, one and two bed condos, all the way through to large five and six bedroom family homes.

Enjoying the Great Outdoors in Delaware

Rehoboth Beach is known as the ‘Summer Capital’ due to it being so popular with tourists over the summer months, so it’s no surprise that this area has many attractions, shops and restaurants. Some of the highlights include Jungle Jim’s water park, Bear Trap Dunes golf course and Cape Henlopen State Park.  And popular annual events such as the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival bring more business and interest to this great coastal community. 

Rehoboth Beach Film Festival
The festival is an annual event showcasing some of the world’s top independent movies. The World Championship Punkin’ Chunkin’ Contest which sees contestants hurl pumpkins, plus the Sea Witch Festival which is held every October to celebrate Halloween, are also events that bring the community together for a bit of fun and are not to be missed!  As well as all the fun activities and events, if you prefer a quieter time then there are many hiking and biking trails to discover, a selection of golf courses, and of course we have miles and miles of sandy beaches on which to relax.

 

Tax Benefits, Small Town Charm & Sunshine - What a Combination!

The mixture of rural and seaside resorts in Southern Delaware can make any trip to the state a great experience, but living here is even better.  Many of our realtors have either lived her all their lives, or moved here to get more enjoyment out of life!  It is not only a popular destination for retirees but also for young couples wishing to raise their families in this thriving yet friendly area of the East Coast. The favourable tax laws definitely make moving to Delaware far more cost effective than elsewhere in the country, but for many it’s not all about money.   Destinations in Southern Delaware have an attractive small town charm yet still have all of the amenities you would expect from a modern resort. That, and the fact that we get over 200 days of sunshine per year, and have some of the finest beaches in the country probably also help!

Come visit us at Joe Maggio Realty and let us help you find your dream home on the Delaware Coast.

There are still a ton of great buys in the market.  A good Realtor can find them and connect investors with projects that could yield great returns.  Yes I am a little prejudice, but my own listing at 102 Glade Circle in The Glade is one hell of a good waterfront purchase.  A little investment update and great profits are in your future!

The day today is much cooler with a cold front moving into the Delaware Coast.  My SUV is still reading 77 degrees.  This Saturday seems like the perfect day to open my Bay View Listing in the Rehoboth Beach Yacht and Country Club.  This 4 Bedroom expansive ranch has a 360 unobstructed view of the Rehoboth Bay and sits on one of the highest lots in the club.  Sitting in the bar area of the kitchen I am watching a pontoon boat anchor off shore.  Also a Para sailor moves through the sky.  The watersports area constant reminder why I moved to the beach...   This is a location in the club that many envy and come to watch the incredible sunsets.

The home has had some major improvements since the current owner’s acquisition including a gourmet kitchen featuring Miele and Sub-Zero appliances and custom cabinetry from Oceanic Ventures.  Repairs to the roof and structure were installed by Boardwalk builders as well new HVAC and heating systems.  Custom Bath fixtures and tile work and so much more.  If you love look at over the water or check out the action on the 18th Green this home is for you.  If you would like to have a private tour of this home please give me a call 302-381-2268.

Thank you,
