Office Spaces, For Rent, Starboard Center, Bethany Beach, Delaware, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware

For many years Bethany Beach has been known as one of the quiet resorts.  For many of us that have been in the area for many years and have seen it grow, there is nothing quiet anymore. It is vibrant and it is full of life.  All you have to do is come visit at different times of the year to see how this small town has grown so much.  People come to these beach towns because it is a way of getting out of the cities.  The Delaware Beaches are so popular now, not only to vacation but to live here and establish new businesses.

The Starboard Center is located at 32892 Coastal Highway, Bethany Beach, DE 19930.  There are 6 business offices located in this very centrally and accessible location.  One of the offices, Suite 3, is 460 square feet.  It looks pretty nice and it is ready for rent.  The other office is 725 square feet and will be ready in a few weeks. CAM charges are very reasonable, plenty of parking too.

For more information, please contact Joe Maggio Realty at 302-539-5500.

What perfect way to start in a new office for the New Year.

Make that call to Joe Maggio Realty at 302-539-5500, and see for yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving.

From the Delaware Tourism Office comes great news for those of us that have the ability to pass on information about our small state.  Sought after by many as a place for retirement, for fun, and for relaxation, the Delaware Tourism Office is really campaigning so that when it comes to your vacation choices…..Delaware is It!!

dscn2996

It is the first time in the state history, that the Delaware Tourism Office has created a brand identity, a tagline and even television commercials designed to increase national awareness of Delaware as a desirable place to vacation.  Many of us know that already, now we want you to check it out.

It is called the “Endless Discoveries” brand campaign.  It aims to boost visitation and tourism revenue in Delaware by creating an image in consumers’ minds of the state as a destination that will surpass any preconceptions.

dscn3415dscn3445

The Director of the Delaware Tourism Office states:  “The challenge has always been to show others that Delaware is far more than just a place they pass through on I-95”.   That, I have heard….receiving a call saying “We are on 95 going to such and such place…passing through Delaware….and, are you close by?”

I found this interesting…The brand campaign messages were specifically designed to resonate with female consumers, who have been shown to statistically more likely to take the lead in vacation planning decisions.  The campaign is expected to reach hundreds of thousands of people in 16 East Coast states.

dscn5094

The new logo above shown, along with the words Endless Discoveries is hoping to spark the travelers’ curiosity and make them want to learn more……The Director of the Delaware Tourism Office, Linda Parkowski, goes on to state “The next step was to create words and images that fit that concept, and give travelers a sense that Delaware has treasures waiting to be found.”  Some of us have found those already!!

It is so good to be able to say thank you and mean it.  I want to thank those companies advertising on AboutMyBeaches.  Some of them I bugged a lot; explaining why they should be on my website.  I really do appreciate it.

AboutMyBeaches started back on July of 2009.  It was one of those ideas.  I am a frustrated concierge.  First it was going to be just a website.  When my webmaster, Ed Timmons, met with me, I kept talking and talking.  He probably thought I was more of a blogger.  So, really, it was his suggestion.  Here I am.  I consider myself to be in the business of Word of Mouth.

Since my advertisers are on my website, which is written in a blog style, you can access them directly.  Just look at them on the right hand side of AboutMyBeaches,  http://www.aboutmybeaches.com, and you will be able to find out what these companies are all about.  They are all different.  Their owners are very nice, and easy to talk to.

AboutMyBeaches Welcomes Matt Haley’s Restaurants, SoDel Concepts, Fish On!, Lupo Di Mare, Matt’s Fish Camp, Bluecoast Seafood Grill, Northeast Seafood Kitchen, Catch 54, and Plate Catering…The whole package; good food, great ambiance and friendly service

img_4524

Welcome is what I want to say to all of Matt Haley’s Restaurants.  It has been 3 years since I started this blog.  The concept has stayed true.  I wanted to promote the Delaware Beaches.  I really do love living here and that’s what I told Matt Haley when I was pestering him about advertising on my website.  It is a little tricky when you are talking and writing about restaurants.  Afterall, it is your own experience.  I write about them on my own terms; no technical training, for sure.  I know how I like to be served.  I like a variety of foods.  And I love innovative cuisines.

I have eaten in several of Matt Haley’s Restaurants.  Every time I wrote a post, I would send an e-mail to the company.  It did not fail that Matt Haley was the one that answered those e-mails immediately.  Not his managers and others in his staff; but, himself. That has not happened very often.  I thought that said a lot about the man behind the concepts.  And, SoDel Concepts restaurant group, is his restaurant development company located in Delmarva.

dscn5446

I have had the opportunity to attend several fundraising events hosted by Matt Haley.  Yes, he does wear many hats besides the Chef’s.  On those occasions, I have watched him interact with his staff.  It is like a one on one kind of thing.  Mutual respect and admiration.  Maybe family is the right word to describe it.

img_4551

Matt Haley’s feels at ease whether he is the Chef at a fundraising event at a farm or fundraising at one of his restaurants for Global Delaware.

img_4555dscn4977

In 2010, the organization Outstanding in the Field chose him as the Host and Chef for an amazing dinner held at the Indian River Life Saving Station.  The organization, Outstanding in the Field, travels the world to find exceptional chefs to showcase the local food culture and salute area farmers, growers and fishermen.  It was a first for Delaware!!

So, what else can I tell you about Matt Haley?  Remember when I mentioned above, the many hats he wears…..a philanthropist’s.  It is worth mentioning that Matt Haley founded Global Delaware.  It is a non-profit “organization dedicated to providing goods and services to children at risk in distressed situations”.  Global Delaware is helping, here at home, and it is also extending a helping hand overseas.  To know more about it, to get involved, to donate (anything helps), please visit http://www.theglobaldelawarefund.com.

img_4496

Notes:  Matt Haley’s Restaurants do not accept reservation.  You have to do like me; either very early or late.  I choose late.  It’s summer and it stays light so late. Let me know how you like them.

Matt Haley’s Restaurants are sensitive to those customers with food related allergies.  They are very willing to make your visit a pleasurable one.

By the way, let me tell you that there were other e-mails sent to SoDel Concepts.  They were the ones that started “Don’t kill the Messenger”, if you get my drift.  He did answer!!  Have a good one!!

New Year & New Expectations; that’s what this post should be called.  The Delaware Beaches are becoming more popular every year.  The attraction of low property taxes, along with the amenities make the beaches a year-round playground.  Tax free shopping, mild winters, beautiful scenery…the towns have been crowded during the week-ends. This is our Second Season and a few quieter months is the perfect time, for us that live here year-round, to truly embrace the beaches.

AboutMyBeaches welcomes Miken Builders and Betterliving Patio & Sunrooms of Delmarva, Millville, Delaware, Celebrating 25 Years in the Business

Many years ago when my husband and I came to Bethany, the “scene” was very different.  But, that’s what we liked about it.  Small town, great place to bring up a family.  Through my children I met most of my friends.  Some I saw frequently and some just once in a while.  One thing is for sure; all those friends are still there.

I met Mike Cummings and his family at the Pyle Center in Roxanna.  Yeap, we were in Little League.  Rain or shine; early mornings and at times early evenings, as well.  Roxanna is near Bethany Beach.  I am sure Mike remembers all that.  We were also on the same team.  I have forgotten if we were good or not.

Through the years I have met parents through sports and some were very intense.  Mike is one of the few people that I know that has kept it constant.  Even temper, friendly, caring, good sense of humor, and a consummate professional in his work.  It was like that then, and it is now, as well.

He is the Founder and CEO of Miken Builders, located at 32782 Cedar Drive, Millville, DE 19967.  Tel. 302-537-4444.  Cell 302-381-0773 and website, www.mikenbuilders.com.  You can find Miken Builders on Facebook.

The website will give an insight on this commercial and residential construction company.  You can also find them on the right hand side of my website and just with a click you will have direct access into his site.

Through the years Miken Builders has built a reputation as a company that is well respected in the community with high standards and superior craftmanship.

Mike’s company has received so many awards in construction and renovation from Associated Builders & Contractors.  You can see those on the website, and you will also be able to see other awards and memberships in charitable organizations.  Yes, Mike and his company have given back to the community.

Personally, I can recommend Miken Builders fully.  I just used the company to do renovations in my house.  His staff, well, I cannot say enough.  Suggestions, designs, and carrying the job through in the most efficient way was good to see and experience.

Under Miken Builders, there is BetterLiving Patio & Sunrooms of Delmarva.  Same address, but the telephone is 302-251-0000.  Website?  www.betterlivingdelmarva.com. This Miken Builders’ company is the exclusive provider of Betterliving 3-season, year-round sunrooms and awnings.  They can transform an unused deck or patio into a totally different room; a focal point of your home.

No job is too small for Miken Builders.  You can call Mike personally.  I just gave you his cell and have him give you an estimate for any work needed around your house.  If you are planning on building a house in the Delmarva Peninsula, you will not be disappointed if you are dealing with him, his company, and staff.

 

Talk to you later….have a good one!!

and points in between.  Yes, sometimes I might be on my way somewhere and the opportunity calls to check out a food truck, a tapas bar, a new beach, or a new museum.  That’s why it is so much fun about writting a website in a blog style.  It is a diary, yours alone. 

AboutMyBeaches has made realized that I want to know and experience more.  I remember when my webmaster, Ed Timmons from 4C, Inc., http://www.4cinc.com, mentioned I should write a blog instead of the standard website.  I guess he figured I was talking his ear off so I was a good candidate for bla, bla, bla.  He just did not know how much I could talk. 

Then, I started blogging, only a few readers here or there.  People that are connected on the internet suddenly started to find me.  I think my posts are honest and from my heart.  I have posted so far 728 posts, and now I am getting over 14,000 hits per month.  Who would have thought?

And, you know what? I want more.  Granted, some posts are more interesting than others; so its life itself.  Remember that it is a diary.

Pictures….I decided to incorporate them because people are so visual.  Looking at a picture entices you to read.  Well, I should hope so, even though I do have some friends that say they have read the posts but maybe they just looked at the pictures.  I know who they are, right?  Shelley, Debbie at times.  Not Missy or Richard, though.  My fault, I test them.

My friends and my family have put up going out to dinner with me.  My first statement as we sit down at a table is “don’t touch the food until I take a picture” and “can we all order something different?”  I am surprised they even still want to go out with me.

It is so funny because I get e-mails or suggestions on places to go and check out.  I welcome them; we all have different likes and dislikes and I am an inquisitive person.

The coastals towns that, I, predominantly promote, I love.  There is something about living by the ocean.  I know I am lucky.  The Delaware Beaches have been home for many years and so good to my family.  Giving them a push is not a brainer.
