Alyssa shares how Schellville came to life, how it’s evolved, and the impact it has on the community.

The Blokes also explore what truly makes Schellville magical: the people. Run almost entirely by passionate volunteers—from Schell Brothers employees to dedicated locals—it’s a place where joy is contagious and the spirit of giving shines bright.

Schell Brothers has launched its first-ever podcast, Beachfront Banter, hosted by the fun-loving duo Frank Ryan and Adam Pettengell, also known as the Tipsy Blokes. The podcast explores the unique culture of Delaware’s coastal towns, local hotspots, nonprofits, and the beach lifestyle that makes the area special. With a mix of humor, local insight, and Schell Brothers’ signature energy, each episode offers stories from the community and behind-the-scenes moments from the region’s top homebuilder and 2023 Pro Builder of the Year. Catch it on YouTube for video and audio, and enjoy a laid-back, slightly chaotic journey through beach life—one episode at a time.

In this episode of Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam trade beers for burpees (well… sort of) as they welcome special guest Chris Antonio from Antonio's Personal Training Systems. Chris brings the energy—and maybe a little guilt—as the Blokes dive into what it takes to stay fit while living the good life at the beach. They chat about the wildly popular Schell Brothers Biggest Loser Challenge, stories of real-life transformation, and how fitness can change more than just your waistline.

In this episode of Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam belly up to the bar with the head brewer of Big Oyster Brewery, Eric Camper—the talent behind the official Beachfront Banter beer. Over a couple of cold ones, they talk shop about the art (and occasional chaos) of brewing, the inspiration behind coastal flavors, and what it takes to keep beer lovers coming back for more. From hops to history, and a few surprises in between, it’s a lively conversation that’s a frothy mix of laughs, local flavor, and just the right amount of mischief.

In this episode of Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam shine a spotlight on one of Schell Brothers’ most sought-after communities—Miralon. With Frank as the inside guide, the Blokes walk through what makes this neighborhood stand out, from homes with enviable views to the rare fact that there truly isn’t a “bad site” anywhere on the map. Toss in the tradition of lively community happy hours, and you’ve got more than just a place to live—you’ve got a lifestyle worth raising a glass to.
