If you visit Daphne and the Eastern Shore and decide you would like to stay a little longer, stop by Nichols Real Estate and ask for Sonny or his lovely wife, Claudene.

These two can help you with finding a place to rent for a month or two or help you find that retirement home you have been dreaming about all your life. Sonny and Claudene have been residents of the Eastern Shore for many years and are some real fine folks.
