Advice for a Limey!

I am coming from the UK for a week in mid Oct.

Would be very greatful if you could tell me ';roughly'; what the weather could be like, got a 3 + 6 year old (and a shopaholic wife!) and any suggestions of where to stay?

Would like near the beach.

Thanks for your time!

Advice for a Limey!

I%26#39;d expect fairly dry conditions with high temperatures in the 55-60F range and lows about 10 degrees cooler. Jacket, not quite coat weather.

Hotels: The Boardwalk Plaza is probably one of the nicest in town and on the beach. You%26#39;ll pay a good deal less as you get further away from the beach and a lot less at the budget hotels on the highway (but closer to the outlet stores). Check out the hotels link here on TripAdvisor

Checking www.rehoboth.com I see the 13th thru 16th is our annual Jazz Festival. That%26#39;s an major event, draws a lot of people. Weather is usually great that time of year. With the pound/dollar as they are, your wife can go crazy at the outlets without hurting the budget too badly - tax-free, too!

Brighton Suites is great for familes. It will be booked Greyhound weekend, around the 8th this year. Oct. weather can be perfect, even to go on the beach. There is the Jolly Trolley that can take your wife to the outlets. Book something soon!

I would stay at the Admiral motel or the Atlantic Sands as they are right on the boardwalk and all restaurants and small shops are within easy walking distance. It will definitely be cold and windy at night on the beach. We have needed heavy sweatshirts many a summer night there. The shopping is great if you like outlets.

They are very similar, but you cannot get a full ocean viiew at the Admiral. It will definitely be cold and windy at night on the beach. We have needed heavy sweatshirts many a summer night there. The shopping is great if you like outlets.

Thanks very much to you all for the advice.

Have booked a condo for the week in the end as it worked out well.

Have had to print off the ';outlet mall'; shops...my Mrs nearly fainted when she saw the list!! That%26#39;s her gone for the week!

The only thing I want is a ';good American breakfast';! You know the ones that keep you going for the week?

If you have a second could you recommend a place?

As ever, very grateful!

Cheers!

A condo is a great idea if you have kids, at this time of year you should get a good price on an oceanfront place. There are plenty of places to stay on the highway, but the little town of Rehoboth Beach is charming with lots of little shops and restaurants and you don%26#39;t want to have to get into a car to go to the beach. Our favorite condo is the Edgewater, next to the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel (which is very nice but expensive and seems to cater mainly to seniors). There are lots of restaurants in Rehoboth but some are open only on weekends now that it is the off-season. I was there this weekend and there was a restaurant on Wilmington Ave in a charming old house just a block or two from the boardwalk that had a line out the door for breakfast--(always a good sign), but because the weather was so nice we decided to head straight for the beach and didn%26#39;t try it. There are lots of restaurants on Wilmington and the other side streets that are just a couple of blocks from the boardwalk. We also like Nicola%26#39;s pizza (about half the price of the ubiquitous Grotto Pizza). Have fun! It is a great place to relax.

THE breakfast place is the ';Crystal';, just past the drawbridge on the right as you come into town. BIG portions, but for some reason they won%26#39;t let you share. Weather next week is low 70%26#39;s/low 50%26#39;s - real sleeping weather. Enjoy!

Make that low 70%26#39;s during the day and high 50%26#39;s at night.

You%26#39;ve made my holiday!

Thank you all for the info!

It is fantastic that you did this is, as at least I%26#39;ve got an idea of where I%26#39;m going now!

Arriving last week in Oct.

Cheers
