Delaware is called the First State because it was the first colony to ratify the Constitution. That being said, Delawareans have long since had a powerful pride in their state’s unique history. A vacation rental in Delaware can be like a trip back in time to the colonial days. This state is full of museums and historical replicas such as the Kalmar Nyckel in Wilmington, a full-scale replica of a Swedish sailing ship historically used to colonize Delaware.
 
Delaware is also home to the Dover International Speedway (widely considered one of the best speedways in the nation) and its literally larger-than-life mascot, Miles the Monster. Miles can be seen from over a mile away! It’s also home to more traditional vacation rental amenities -- like family-friendly beaches and casinos! Dover Downs features horse racing, slot machines, a hotel and restaurant, and is 100% smoke free! And Rehoboth Beach calls itself the “Nation’s Summer Capital” due to its draw of visitors from the nation’s capital and other surrounding states.
 
For a bit of whimsy, Bridgeville, Delaware is host to the annual World Champion Punkin Chunken contest --- a pumpkin-catapulting competition. Topping that, the Historical Society of Delaware, in Wilmington, is home to the World’s biggest Frying Pan – it measures over 10 feet in diameter!
