About Diane Stacy
We have enjoyed living in Rehoboth since 1982 and have witnessed many changes since that time. However, one thing never changes -- Miles of beautiful sandy beaches stretch along the shores of the Atlantic; while parks, lakes, nearby attractions, boutiques, cafes & fine dining thrive and historic towns make this beach community an ideal place to call home; and where all of the major cities and airports on the northeast corridor are approximately 2-4 hours away.
Diane Stacy purchased this Cottage in 1982
Why Diane Stacy chose Country Club Estates
This property was built in 1982 as a primary home and has stayed in the family since then. The location was chosen to enjoy the tranquility of Silver Lake and an abundance of flora and fauna. Seasonal changes beckon a variety of fish and waterfowl, while a canopy of trees mirrored in the lake provides an amazing mosaic to enjoy all year long.

Memorial Day Getaway
I cannot begin to convey my gratitude for all of your kind expressions regarding your stays -- now 5 -- at our "Barefoot Beach Bungalow". It's wonderful to know that you feel so at home and that Bill's Turtle and his buddies continue to be a big hit with you and your family. Here's to a wonderful summer and your next memory building visit to our lakeside cottage ...
4 years and counting, can't wait to return
Thank you for another remarkable review. I am always so humbled by your kind words, and it is truly heartwarming to know your family is so eager to return and that priceless family vacation memories are being made at the cottage year after year. I look forward to your visits and hearing about your adventures... Albeit from seasonal storms to smooth sailing. The U-Tube videos of your grandson feeding Bill's Turtle and examining the Halloween bucket filled with treats bring a smile to my face. Thank you, McConnell family! Here's to next year!!
Another Beautiful Vacation!
