We have been on quite a journey over the years to find a property that can comfortably accommodate our extended family vacation that includes ten people from age 81 down to age 2.5. Goose Landing was the perfect place for our family. We had ample space, lots of places to gather but also to break up to do separate activities. Daily use of the pool was a highlight of our visit. The house is also located just the perfect distance from restaurants and the beach--very close, but not too close. The house is beautifully renovated, but also shows a great sense of personality and style. We definitely hope to return for a future trip.

Goose Landing has everything for a wonderful family vacation….a beautiful house, amazing heated pool and pool house, incredible grounds, and an easy walk to the beach and to town for great restaurants and everything Rehoboth has to offer. The house is impeccably furnished and maintained, with everything we needed for our family including a lovely kitchen, beautiful porches with great sunlight and views of the pool and grounds, plenty of space for eating in and playing board games, and comfortable bedrooms. The hosts have restored the house with careful attention to detail, and it shows everywhere, including the lovely grounds that surround the heated pool. Our family spent many hours in the pool and it has the feel of a luxury resort. The beach and town are a short walk away, yet the house has a secluded feel despite being so close to everything. This was a wonderful stay for us and thoroughly enjoyed by our entire family! Five stars across the board!

Instructions on how to use toilets, grill, pool, kitchen and even the garden are is super great detail…you are advised on what toilet paper to buy and how to turn on/off the gas on the grill ( really?)…if some plants look dry…you are invited to water them…sprinkler goes off this a day and you have to dodge them. The kitchen has been nicely renovated and there are plenty of dishes, glassware, silverware and Cookware..all neatly organized. The house is big enough for family of 10-12. The Pool House is new and so is the pool…the pool cover has to be replaced after each use of the pool… There is plenty of parking for 5 cars. The entire house has only ONE hairdryer…they could buy some to make sure that each bathroom has one. There are no pool / beach towels and kitchen towels are available …but are not included in the linen service…??

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time at Goose Landing! The house is perfect distance from the beach and the boardwalk, and with little kids this is a must-have. The house is spacious and roomy and has everything you could need. The yard is beautiful and very well kept. The gem of the house is the heated pool! We spent many afternoons and evenings using it. Truly a unique wonderful place!
