We spent 3 nights with 2 adults and 3 teens. The setup of the house was perfect for us. Upstairs is spacious, bright and airy. View over the marsh is lovely; we saw a variety of birds. Kitchen is well-equipped. Beds are comfortable. Downstairs was a dream come true for the teens. TV, video games, air hockey, foosball, and a completely separate hangout space. We lucked out with the weather- 70s and sunny. Beach access is right across the street. The teens took the kayaks out everyday when the tide was high enough and spent time hanging on the sand. We only saw a few other people on the beach, from a distance, the entire time. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to return!

Communication was clear and timely. Property was very cleanly with plenty of space! Website descriptions were very accurate and the game room was a huge bonus with the teenagers! Would definitely stay here again.

Great communication with owner. Great spot for dogs to stay on ground floor. Comfortable family area upstairs.

The property was excellent for our needs. Family traveled DE for a wedding in Maryland. It was the perfect place for the women in the wedding party, with tons of space to get ready. The downtime from the wedding was spent on the beach which is just down the street. Well equipped for everyday living. Great selection of entertainment. Wonderful deck where we were entertained nightly by wildlife in the back yard. Deer, birds, and a fox! Delightfully quiet area! I will stay here again if traveling with my whole family again!

What a hidden gem of a location and property. Large home, well maintained, lots of space, great game room, short walk to the beach, almost a fully private beach as well. Definitely going back

Loved it

Super location, very nice interior furnishings, large back yard. We all loved it.

We loved the peace and quiet and how few people were on the beach. The water was so much warmer than the ocean. The beach was nice but had a good amount of dead horseshoe crabs but it wasn't that bad. The house was super clean but had quite a few of small ants.They did not bother me but it did bother some other family members..

This house was perfect for my family. The lower level was the kids area, the games (air hockey and fooseball were played every night, tournament style), their own mini fridge for snacks, bathroom, and bedroom. The upstairs was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook and two bedrooms. But the best part was the view off the back deck! Sunsets and storms were awesome to watch from there, saw deer, a fox, plenty of birds. The beach was less than 5 minute walk from the front door. The beach is pebbles and sand, and mostly to yourself. We saw plenty of horseshoe crabs. The bay was not rough at all, perfect for paddle but warm so jelly fish were an issue. And let’s not forget Captain Bob, the amazing neighbor who was super friendly and helpful. Great house!

Ant traps ON the kitchen countertops! A review with ant problem 7/2020. This house STILL has a SEVERE ant problem. Why would anyone put traps on countertops. countertops, floors & cabinets were infested. a few hours of killing ants and cleaning-not how a vacation should start. thought I had everything under control. NOPE, ants had gotten into our food & we had to throw away most of it. ants were coming out from under refrigerator, under stove, knobs on the stove & some ants in dirty microwave. toaster oven filled with crumbs from previous guests, countertops sticky & crumbs. quick run to Walmart purchased terro ant traps & put them on the floor, under appliances & lower cabinets. solved problem after day 3. Some stragglers here & there the entire week but We were able to deal. TIP: We used the dining table as our "safety zone" kept all of our non-perishable food on that table. The floors were sticky, very dirty.cleaned them as best as we could with water & white vinegar mix & used a towel. The tub had a dirt ring around it as well as the toilet. found cleaning supplies in the closet-scrubbed the bathroom too. never worked so hard to get a house clean on vacation. (a paid rental with cleaning fees no less). A Dyson vac on the wall, canister FULL. Gross. Were we expected to empty that? Not my job, didn't use it. And Don't plan on grilling. we had plans to grill but the bbq was unusable. the grill deflectors were fully rusted/broken & the grill tops a filthy mess. Thank goodness for my handy hubby. purchased cheap metal shields,made homemade deflectors & purchased cheap grill tops So we didn't have to put food directly on that nasty bbq. Read all reviews, many comments the house was clean. we all have different levels of what clean is. this house was far from clean. note on the fridge "please do your best to pick up after yourself so our cherished cleaning lady can focus on sanitizing rather than general cleanup". Hmmm Nothing changed since 7/2020 review. house needs DEEP cleaning, walls & ceiling repaired & a good paint job. Messaged Sarah when I got home-apologetic, would have sent cleaning crew if issue known. would have had someone come spray for ants. Last thing we wanted was people spraying pesticides while we're in house w/pups. You can't be unaware of ant problem with ant traps on the counter in plain sight. Did cleaning lady not tell you? Perhaps they don't tell you the truth on how each turnover goes. Spacious house

The Lodge at Slaughter Beach was perfect for our family, spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished, just steps from the beach, close to conveniences and a short, easy drive to tourist attractions. We found everything we wanted or needed at the house, down to a great assortment of reading material and family games. Sarah was the perfect host, warm and receptive, like staying with a friend. I hesitate to give such a glowing review, because we'd like to keep this little corner of the world all to ourselves!

The house is right on the road, almost directly across from the beach access. The house was spotless and had a wonderful layout for the teens in the group. The beach is in a very natural state so you do not see umbrellas and beach towels everywhere but it was great for collecting rocks and shells. We saw lots of horseshoe crabs, conch shells, turtles and birds. Kyacks are a plus but only go at high tide as the tidal fluctuations here are huge and you can walk out into the sand a long distance when the tide is out. Drove to Rehobath beach one day (40min) which was fun but I prefered the quiet atmosphere of Slaughter Beach.

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The game room downstairs was a highlight for my children. The location was a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen was surprisingly well-stocked. We'll definitely be returning next year!

The timing of our stay included 2 to 3 days of a persistent nor'easter. The puzzles, games, shuffleboard, air hockey and video games kept the teens and adults entertained. It was just a quick walk to the beach area to explore what the storm washed in....horseshoe crabs, fish, shrimp, a flounder and a toad fish. Although it was too rough and chilly to use during our stay, there were kayaks and beach chairs available. Kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed to prepare our meals. Very nice, family friendly place.

The property is exactly as advertised We enjoyed the Sunsets and endless walking on the Beach Perfect time of the year not to many visitors

We loved staying here while my daughter was playing in a tournament at DETurf. It was great to come back in between to use the game room and visit the beach. Everything was great and will definitely book again when going to the area!!!!! Host was very friendly and was able to be flexible with check in and out times due to the Easter holiday!

The property was clean and spacious. It was located walking distance to the beach. The hosts provided a huge selection of games for entertainment. The host was very communicative and gracious. I highly recommend booking this property! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

The property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean and equipped with everything you might need. A snowstorm hit with very high winds but we were toasty warm the whole time. Thank goodness for the game room! We would definitely go back.

…of accommodation, fun, safety, and scenery. A pet friendly home, quick access to the beach, and peaceful surroundings - what more could you ask for in a vacation house?! We would love to come back!

We enjoyed the game room a lot. The kitchen is well stocked, and the “baby-gate” was a much appreciated amenity to help the adults relax some instead of trying to keep the baby away from the spiral staircase all the time.

This was a great property for my family including my teen and twenty-something. Close to beach access, lots of things to do in and near the house. Games galore - and it was nice to have a kids play area separate from the adult gathering area. We had all we needed to rest, relax and unwind. The sunsets were beautiful and it was nice having space to gather on the back deck. Only downside was the time was not long enough! We will be back to Slaughter Beach Lodge again - very soon, I hope!

The experience was great, check-in process was easy and house was amazing! Great location to Slaughter Beach access, large backyard to play games in, large deck to watch the beautiful sunsets and plenty of games and TV's inside to please everyone. It's 3 bedroom with 4 beds, pictures kind of make it seem like there's more actual beds but there's not. I had a wonderful time with friends and family at this house and would rent it again in the future!

We had a wonderful time here. The house is lovely with lots of things to do inside, the beach is a very quick walk, and the owners are extremely helpful and responsive. We stayed here with 2 other families, including young kids and dogs. Everyone had a blast. We’re especially grateful to the owners for mailing us back some clothes we accidentally left behind. 10/10 customer service

It was great, relaxing , beach... view perfect!!!Just too short!! Thank you

It was great, relaxing , beach... view perfect!!! Just too short!! Thank you

We had a fun time! We enjoyed walks on the beach, fires on the beach and searching for treasures. Short drive to Rehoboth too! House was very clean and well-stocked. Sarah was easy to reach when I had questions.

The house and owner were both great but the location unfortunately was terrible. We couldn’t do anything without being attacked by the big biting flies and mosquitoes. On the beach, bike riding in the nearby nature persevere, paddle boarding, walking through the neighborhood, even just being in the backyard grass, were all quickly unbearable because of the bugs.

A Great place to stay. Real close to the beach. Place was very clean.

Very easy process. Clean house. Nice quiet location and very responsive owner.

We were thrilled with this home. So pretty and clean and the children aged 11, 10 and 7 were loving the 1st floor with the games and space for them to play. The neighbors were so friendly and the beach was perfect and peaceful. Views of the sunrise and sunset over the masrshland from the deck were stunning. The owners were so kind ang helpful.

Really enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate and everything was as advertised. Sarah was extremely helpful and I will gladly come back. Never seen such a pristine, secluded place to relax!!!
