15 Minutes From the Boardwalk: Five-Bedroom Rehoboth Beach House
Hordes of DC residents are making the trek this weekend to one of three Delaware beaches — Rehoboth, Dewey and Bethany. If you are one of those beach-goers that needs to be close to boardwalk fries and Skee-ball, this five-bedroom house in Rehoboth could qualify as your dream home. While not beachfront property, the listing is located about a 15-minute walk from the boardwalk where one can satisfy the needs mentioned above.
- Full Listing: 111 Columbia Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE (map)
- Price: $1.373 million
- Bedrooms: Five
- Bathrooms: Five
- Square Footage: Approximately 3,300
- Listing Agent: Debbie Reed, RE/MAX

Four-Bedroom Southern Maryland Home for the Boat Lover
Located on a peninsula in southern Maryland, this architect-designed 4,800 square-foot home sits on five acres right on the water. While out of most buyers’ price range, the home has an in-ground waterside pool, a hot tub, a rain garden, 675-feet of water frontage, and boat slip with a lift.
- Full Listing: 3204 Bennett Point Road, Queenstown, MD 21658 (map)
- Price: $2.45 million
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: Five
- Year Built: 1977

Surfboard Does Not Convey: Three-Bedroom Venice Beach Bungalow
The walk to the water is a little bit longer, but this three-bedroom bungalow on the left coast will probably be most readers’ favorite. The three-bedroom bungalow is located in Venice, one of the more eclectic sections of Los Angeles. We’ll let the listing photos speak for the property, but a feature that we feel compelled to mention is the home’s outdoor living room — not going to find many of those on the east coast!
- Full Listing: 760 Vernon Avenue, Venice, CA 90291 (map)
- Price: $849,000
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: One
- Year Built: 1949
- Listing Agent: John Harper, Keller Williams
