Jayne’s Reliable

What do you get when you combine adventure, nostalgia, history and preservation all into one award-winning business? You get Jayne’s Reliable, the destination shop in Dagsboro, DE, which has won Coastal Style’s Best Antique Store category multiple times, including 2023.

The 12-year-old business is the vision of David and Karen Jayne, which features handpicked collections of antiques, vintage decor and furniture, architectural salvage, garden whimsy and local and vintage art. Its treasures are displayed in its beautiful, primary Victorian building and 12 outbuildings across over an acre of charming, outdoor grounds.

David, Karen and their team’s picking adventures take them across Delmarva and across the country to find treasures and post about their travels and discoveries to the delight of their thousands of loyal fans and social media followers.

“We have an enthusiastic crew of creative helpers. All are fantastic pickers and wonderful at displaying our fabulous finds,” says Karen. “We all have our own unique tastes in decor, but somehow it all comes together for an amazing collection.

“Our mission is preserving history, inspiring creativity and providing a unique shopping experience that celebrates the beauty of the past while fueling creativity for the future,” Karen continued. “There is so much to see, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to shop!”

Jayne’s Reliable is open Friday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
