I never miss an opportunity to see real estate. I guess that went with the territory for many years…my late husband, John, was a Broker and owner of his own real estate company in Bethany Beach. So, when my neighbor, Chris, asked me to go check Sawgrass North I jumped in her car ready to go. Sawgrass North is located at 35546 Betsy Ross Blvd., on Old Landing Rd. in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Sawgrass North is a Schell Brothers community. It is private, gated, and just by Rehoboth Bay. It has a clubhouse, pool, fitness, tennis and basketball courts. And….lawn maintenance is included.
Meet Adam Pettengell….He is the Community Sales Manager at Sawgrass North. Cel. 302-228-2719. Website? http://www.schellbrothers.com Email: adam@schellbrothers.com. His personality comes through as friendly, knowledgeable about real estate and what he is selling…and most of all a good sense of humor. Even though I could have taken his photo on site, I decided to use the portrait of Adam in the Master Bedroom. With that kind of personality, he can sell anything.
This 3,300 sq.ft. model home was already sold, completely decorated. Schell Brothers has an in-house designer.
The Tour…
The house has beautiful colors. The people that are moving to Sawgrass North are those that are completely new to the Delaware Beaches, and also those that are downsizing…so tired of the up-keep of a much larger home. They want more time to play and less time to spend working on the home.
If you do want to do some business from home, this area is perfect!!
The Kitchen is very open and conducive to entertainment.
The Living Room is spacious. Two views; from the first floor and from the loft area on the second floor.
Master Bedroom, First Floor.
If you would like to dine indoors…love the table and the finished look. Otherwise, outdoors on a beautiful day is the way to go. Outdoor entertainment!!
Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. They are beautifully decorated, reminding us that we are at the beach and fresh colors set the moods.
Bathrooms are comfortable and laundry room has everything needed.
Stop by and say hello to Adam….he really is so nice!!

In the 1900’s getting to Bethany Beach was a traveling adventure. First you had to take off for Rehoboth Beach by railroad, continue by boat; crossing the Rehoboth and Indian River bays, keep on going to the Assawoman Canal, then by a 2-horse drawn bus. It was exhausting. Later on, in 1910, it was made a little easier with the dredging of the Loop Canal. You could then, travel by boat from Rehoboth Beach and be dropped off right in town.
In 2010 the Loop Canal celebrated its centennial. Hopefully, when you visit Bethany, you will have a time to stop and reflect on how easy it was for you to get there; the others took the long trip to this coastal town that since those days, still maintains that family atmosphere.
I think I can talk about Bethany Beach because from 1981 until 2000, I lived in Bethany. My children’s playground? That’s right….Downtown Bethany Beach!! The town was a little different then; no alcohol, no pharmacy, and one grocery store; Gerald’s. We, the residents did not know how to act when some of those things you take for granted made their first appearance. Guess what? It was not missed. We either went to Rehoboth Beach or Ocean City, Maryland.
Bethany Beach and Fenwick are considered quiet resorts. I must admit that in the winter they are a bit quieter than Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Come summer, these towns are popular resort towns at the Delaware Beaches.
Living at the Delaware Beaches is living stress free. It is definitely a care free lifestyle. It is enhanced by the fact that Delaware has low property taxes and no sales tax. The weather? Actually, it is pretty good too.
Tidewater Realty has had a presence in Bethany Beach since 1988. Broker of Record, John Merryman, has been selling Bethany and Delaware since the mid 70’s. Tidewater Realty is located at 32892 Coastal Highway (Rt.1) in the Starboard Center. Plenty of parking with easy access from Coastal Highway (Rt.1). Tel. 302-539-7500.

Tidewater Realty takes pride in the personal attention they give their clients. The lifestyle they sell is priceless!
One of the few lots available for sale in Bethany Beach is located at 313 Parkwood St. This is a 40 x 125 lot. It is $599,000. The future owner of this lot could build a 4,000 square foot home on this lot. It is not in a flood zone and only 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, the shops, the restaurants, and the center of Bethany Beach.
The street is quiet and it is a semi-dead end street.
Let’s walk to the beach!
Parkwood Street looking east. Beach is at the end.
Crossing Rt. 1. To the left is the town.
You are almost there.
At the end of Parkwood..the ramp to the Boardwalk.
Parkwood Street is also the end of the Boardwalk.
Now, where should we park ourselves?
To the south of the Boardwalk?
Or, should we just place our beach chairs on the north side? Decisions, decisions!!
Tons of beach, or, just walk the Boardwalk.
The Bandstand in Bethany Beach is the life of the town. Summer concerts, gatherings or just people watching. Ice cream, French fries..the works, is all there within walking distance.
From the Bandstand, the beach continues; never ending. Looks like fun, doesn’t it? Nothing better! Even as I write this post I remember sitting at the beach all day long with the kids.
All streets in Downtown Bethany Beach lead to the beach…At this time of year…surprise, surprise!! Who do we have here going to the beach?
