October Beach Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach. The large sunroom looking out over the beach was a perfect place to sit and enjoy watching the waves and shore birds. The easy access to the beach made walks on the beach appealing. We would definitely return for another beach getaway!

Lovely, quiet getaway
We loved the remoteness and solitude of this place. The house was very clean (no dust or musty/moldy smells), the kitchen was nicely appointed, and it was nice to have linens and towels provided! We felt like we had the entire to beach to ourselves, though the crabs definitely ruled the roost! The owners provided all the necessary info via messages and a binder, and were very pleasant in communications. Watching the sunrise each morning from the enclosed porch was a highlight. You couldn't get any closer to the ocean! There is a nice selection of books, DVDS, games and puzzles (our puzzle was missing 3 pieces, bummer). The beds were comfortable, the living room futon was not. The bathroom is quite small and doesn't afford much privacy. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would book this house again.

Great water views
We really enjoyed the sunrises and water views with our coffee each morning. Easy access to beach, bicely furnished kitchen. The only complaint was the hardness of the mattresses.

We just wanted to relax, enjoy the beach and catch a breath from life. And that's exactly what we did! So many great memories here! Thank you for another wonderful week at the beach!

Had a great stay here! Clean plus the kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking. Loved that we were so close to the beach and the shower downstairs was very convenient. A few minor notes: if you have small kids who only take baths, you will want to take an inflatable pool to bathe your kids since there are only 2 showers. Also, for large groups like ours, fyi there is only one bathroom upstairs (all bedrooms are upstairs) and the other bathroom is downstairs. Also, like many people have commented, there are lots of (mostly dead) horseshoe crabs on the beach (at least when we went) and it wasn’t an issue for us, but best to google if you’re unsure…

great view from porch, enjoyed walking on the bay beach watching the birds in the morning. Went to Cape Henlopen for part of the day to walk by the ocean and then into Rehobeth. Nice to come back to the home and bay views in the afternoon.

The house was very clean and nicely appointed. Bathrooms were interesting. Upstairs was very small but also very cute. Downstairs didn't afford any privacy given the 3 stalls. We probably won't do this area again given the huge number of horse crabs!

We had a wonderful weekend, walking the beach, listening to the waves lap the shore, and watching the birds and porpoises play in the water. The house was very clean and well-stocked. The beds and furniture were comfortable. And the view was amazing!

The house was perfect for us. Two old men getting together to reminisce. The room facing the ocean was perfect for sitting and enjoying the views while telling stories. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available and having everything on one floor was great. We are already talking about a return visit next Spring.

Spectacular Views!
The views here are just amazing. The beach is quiet and almost all to ourselves. This is a wildlife sanctuary and the beach clearly belongs to the horseshoe crabs - not people. The house was immaculate, the kitchen well provisioned, and the basement stocked with beachy stuff (chairs, games, etc).

What a view!
The sunroom is just perfect - loved the trolley seat for eating and enjoyed our morning coffee on the couch watching the sunrise over the water. The kitchen had everything we needed for basic meals and loved that you could still see the water from there. The main floor bathroom was a bit small and challenging for managing a toddler so we ended up using the basement to shower. Would come again!

third year here
My family and I and the dogs have stayed here for 3 years now. It's still a lovely home, with some nice upgrades, and it is very easy to contact the landlord. However, the prices keep going up, the ceiling leaks when there is a bad rain, and the house wasn't as immaculate as in years past.

Bay front house
Property is precisely as advertised. It was very clean and the host gets extra kudos for thinking of literally everything to include with the house including sheets, towels, some toiletries, Saran, aluminum foil, spices, books, games. The front room overlooking the dune is quiet and serene. The rake for the beach seaweed (a lot) was most welcome and we used it each day. We very much appreciate the grill!

Perfect beach house
The view from the house is simply perfect. Coffee and sunrises every morning, and the dolphins gave us a show on our last morning!! The downstairs bathroom is super convenient from the beach especially with children, and the shower down there made coming in extra easy as well. House was very well equipped for cooking for the family and the was a full spread of plastic plates, bowls, and cups for the kiddos. Highly recommended!! We already booked a repeat visit!!
