An Empire Begins…
The success of the Atlantic View in Dewey Beach in its two short years of operation was enough to get the Simplers (aka Seaboard Hospitality) looking to continue their expansion into the hotel side of the hospitality business. It was 1980, just two years after ground was broken for the Atlantic View (read more on Atlantic View here). An opportunity to build another hotel became available in Rehoboth Beach. This became the site of the Beach View hotel.
