Cute little cabin on the river
The views are amazing, you can't get any closer to the water. The house is adorable, spacious and has a lot of extras to make you feel welcome. Beth is a great host and responds very quickly to any questions. This was our second visit and plan on going again in the spring.

Great little beach front experience
Enjoyed the waterfront view and sitting by the water. The sunglasses, flipflops and snacks were nice touches. Property outside could use some clean up and personal touches but overall a great experience!

Cozy, comfortable cottage
The cottage was equipped with everything (and more) we could possibly need. Beachfront view and walkability of the neighborhood were terrific. Our host was accessible and responsive. Check-in and check-out were easy. We would enjoy staying here again, in summer, with kayaks.

Second enjoyable visit
We first stayed at this great cottage in September and we were back again for a longer winter visit. We were happy to watch the many ships travel on the river. The cottage was spotless and the photos are accurate except there are a couple of new pieces of furniture near the television - the loveseat is very comfy! The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed. Looking forward to a triple treat with another visit :-)

Awesome!
We had a great time at this little cottage! The views were amazing! We had a storm the first night we were there and lost power for a little bit and the owner reached out to make sure we were ok. The sand was kind of rocky but flip flops fixed that problem! We were able to take our dog and my 2 kids and I had a great time! Thank you so much Beth! Hope to make it back someday!

Relaxation Heaven
The property was perfect, even in the windy and cold weather! So many blankets around to snuggle up with and a fireplace heater to feel even cozier! It had everything we needed plus more. We were able to cook when we wanted, enjoy a cup of coffee, and do absolutely nothing! As a busy mom, it was heaven. The snack baskets and games available were greatly appreciated. Also, the host is right next door if anything is needed or if you have any questions. We loved being able to take our pups as well. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Cute Cottage on Delaware River
Had a wonderful time at Beth’s cottage. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. She has everything you need for your stay. Just bring your clothes and food. The family came and stayed for a night. We had a campfire at watched the beautiful sunset. It was fun walking along the beach and watching the tanker and freight ships 🚢 go up and down the Delaware. Beth was a great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. She was nice to talk to. We will definitely be back. Thank you Beth for the snack basket too.

Comfortable getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the cottage with the fantastic view of the river. In fact, we didn't want to leave! The house is beautifully decorated and the furniture is very comfortable. We even enjoyed the view through the wall of windows on the water side of the house during a rainy day and were rewarded with a beautiful sunset. We found a website that tracks the ships floating up and down the river so we could follow the action. Beth had a variety of snacks for us to enjoy and was quick to help out after I inadvertently locked us out. We hope to stay longer next time and explore more of the area. Thank you Beth!
