Craig and Beth—what can I say about them… ha!I have a feeling these two are going to be a very fun addition to the community. I suspect many parties will happen in their Kingfisher basement. Working in sales, you meet a lot of people, and you really do get to know them quickly. These guys […]

We first met through their fantastic realtor, Turner Hastings—a local Lewes boy […]

If I’m being honest, Eric and Karen initially felt the community was too far from the trail. That was before we met, and they decided to explore other options. After coming back and seeing just how close The Junction and Breakwater Trail really is, they were completely bought in.Still residing in Florida, they’ve made it […]

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of starting a new one, watching a blank canvas transform into a vibrant neighborhood and painting that vision for the very first homeowners. Sharing my passion for the beaches, especially […]
