We did not do a room block at a hotel, because there are so many great places to stay. We recommend airbnb.com for finding a great beach house or condo. If you need help please contact Martha: marthaabshire@hotmail.com or Brian saylor51802@gmail.com. Here's the scoop for local towns:
1) Rehoboth Beach, DE - outlet shopping, nice hotels, beach houses and restaurants. The boardwalk is great and also super dog-friendly. Rehoboth is the nicest combo of options and is just 15 minutes north of the wedding venue.
2) Dewey Beach, DE - lots of nightlife and music! Bars are awesome.
3) Bethany Beach, DE - lower key, family-oriented - closest to the venue
4) Ocean City, MD - provides the most options for places to stay, activities and a boardwalk experience. Maybe slightly less of a foodie scene:)
