About this house rental
This home stands out from the rest with its impeccable furnishings, extra accoutrements, and prime location directly on the Peninsula's championship Jack Nicklaus golf course. Unlike interior rentals this provides privacy and direct pond and golf views from a screened-in porch and living spaces. In 2021 we completed a new back patio overlooking the 4th fairway and pond which features a built-in grill & refrigerator, bar top seating, as well as a gas fire pit adding a whole new dimension of fun!
Comfortably sleeps 8 in its 3 bedrooms and loft space with 3 ½ bathrooms. The main level features a huge great room with lots of window and natural light, a gas fireplace, new wall-mounted 65” 4K Smart TV, Blu-Ray/DVD player, Verizon FIOS, Apple TV and a Bose Wave Radio & smartphone connector. We offer the best FIOS TV package including 455 channels, the major movie channels and NFL Red Zone. Free ultra high-speed WiFi is available throughout the house. The gourmet kitchen is well-stocked for cooking in and includes stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.
The 1st floor master bedroom features a king bed, two walk-in closets, large private bathroom and a 37” 1080p HDTV. The second bedroom features a queen bed, walk-in closet and private bathroom. The third bedroom is suited well for kids with two bunk beds sleeping four. The loft is a multi-functional room featuring a large, soft leather sectional which converts to a queen bed, large play space with game table, Blu-Ray/DVD player with a HUGE and highly curated selection of 760 DVDs, 5.1 speaker system, a brand new, wall-mounted 65” 4K Smart TV as well as a 60-1 tabletop arcade game. The second floor also features a full loft bathroom. The first floor has a mud/laundry room with full washer and dryer.
Guests will have access to the world-renowned private Jack Nicklaus golf course ranked as a top course in Delaware, and located right outside our back door. This home’s location also has direct access to the nature trails, fishing pier, private beach, Lakeside Village Center featuring tennis/pickleball courts, wave pool, spa, outdoor adult pool, terrace grill, Olympic-sized indoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, beautiful gym and yoga studio, lighted basketball courts, and large kids game room and nature center. There are also water sports on the bay through paddle-board and kayak rentals.
We truly believe its the little things that matter the most, making rentals comfortable, fun and memorable, so we’ve gone the extra mile. On the comfort side, we installed sleek and beautiful remote-controlled ceiling fans in all living areas, as well as dimmers on nearly all light switches for better mood lighting. We’ve hung beautiful local artwork throughout, featuring beach scenes from renowned photographer Kevin Fleming. In the “fun department” we recently added the cocktail table 60-in-one “multi-cade” arcade game to entertain the kid in all of us. For family movie night in 2020 we excitedly unveiled a turn-style DVD rack containing 760 hand-picked DVDs of all genres, including many family & 80’s classics you just won’t find on Netflix. Building this collection was a serious undertaking but true labor of love. We also stocked up heavily on bikes, featuring 6 beach cruisers including one with a pre-installed Topeak baby carrier. By providing this many bikes we hope to save you significantly on rentals and we find that this is the best way to get around the community. In the garage you’ll also find a large bin filled with pool and beach toys for the kiddies. Finally, we’ve stocked the garage with beach chairs, an umbrella, coolers, and even crab traps and a steamer pot!

I found the owner's communications to be very straightforward and easy to follow. The check-in process was very smooth. The house is beautiful and well stocked with all the items needed for a great vacation with 3 very active boys aged 10-13. The house was incredibly clean as well. We sat in the screened in porch every morning with our coffee. Our boys loved the upstairs loft area. We enjoyed all of the amenities in the community including, the pools, nature walk, fishing piers, gym, paddle boards/kayaks, and 4th of July programming. We spent time in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Lewes...all were convenient to the location. We look forward to returning for years to come and possibly investing in the community!

House was beautiful, clean, well-appointed. We really enjoyed the porch & patio. The bikes were a great addition as we used them to explore the entire Peninsula property. Very relaxing, people are friendly, the views & wildlife are wonderful. Clay was very responsive when we had questions. Definitely gets our 5 star rating.

We spent 5 days at Clay's property for my kids' Spring Break, and it was perfect! We had enough room to spread out in the house, plus we took advantage of so many amenities, including daily trips to the indoor pool, nature trail walks and biking in the community, and watching movies indoors on our one rainy day. And we were close enough to visit Assateage State Park to see the wild ponies, Rehoboth Beach to do outlet shopping, and Lewes Beach to visit the Cape Henlopen State Park Seaside Nature Center. We packed in a lot in 5 days!

A beautiful home in a beautiful setting with many, many amenities. Walking trails, beautiful bay, bicycles, pool, and the list goes on. We could have stay on the property and been entertained the entire vacation. Clay was excellent to work with, too. Excellent experience.

What can I say…5’s across the board! This was a beautiful home that had all of the amenities and small touches that are usually overlooked. My family and I have stayed in several rentals up and down the east coast and this one is at the top of our list. The Peninsula is a beautiful gated community and the residents were all so warm and welcoming. The drive to the beach and outlets was about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. Clay was a dream to work with. I will definitely book again when returning to the Delaware beach area. This rental property is a keeper!

The house was beautiful and so clean. Clay was wonderful to work with. He was extremely communicative from the time we booked to the time we checked out (and even after, since we accidentally left a call phone there 🙄)! We knew what to bring, what would be provided, and what rules we needed to follow. Even the beach gear and bikes were great!!

Really enjoyed our stay at this property, just a short bike ride or walk away from all the amenities that The Peninsula has to offer. The property is well appointed with clean and thoughtful furnishings.Was very comfortable for my family of six. Appreciated and enjoyed the bikes provided by the owner.

The Peninsula is a perfect destination for both families and adults.
This particular house is large and airy, and has all the amenities you could possibly wish for - nice kitchen, two common sitting areas with tv's, tv's in large bedrooms, barbeque grill, fire pit, great views in the backyard, bikes, floaties, etc.
The host is friendly and responsive, and goes the extra mile to make your stay a pleasant experience.
We highly recommend this property!

I brought my son, his friend, my mother, brothers and a niece on vacation. We had an amazing time. The house is great. Owner, Clay, is friendly and helpful. My son learned to ride one of the many bikes available. We swam in the wave & indoor pools, ate at both restaurants, walked the nature trail, went kayaking a few times, (have 2 of my own & rented 1 here) we biked everywhere as a family, had s’mores at the outdoor fireplace, went to rehobeth beach and enjoyed splash mountain water park/go-carts at ocean city Maryland. There is enough to do to suit everyone and many places close by or even just to stay in the community. Wonderful find!

This property is in a great location. From here we were easily able to explore using the provided bikes and enjoyed visiting the fishing pier, beach, nature trails, and clubhouse. The open living / kitchen area is a nice feature as is the deck bordering the golf course.

This is our 3rd stay at this property! The house is beautiful, clean and perfect for our family. We love to take advantage of the amenities! Everyday was started with a bike ride! We fit in Pickle Ball, golf, indoor pool, basketball court, relaxing down by the pier after our bike rides. We even enjoyed dinner after golf at the beautiful club house. A great place for an active family or just relaxing and making S’mores over the fire pit! Hope to come back again next year! Thank you Clay!

My son was getting married close by. Our families rented two homes together. Perfect stay. Inviting all the extras included wish I stayed a few extra days just to relax. I had main bedroom downstairs and all the others upstairs. Amenities to make your stay perfect included. Close to everything. By far the best vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. D

We were at The Peninsula for a family reunion, so we didn’t spend much time in this house. I would have loved to have— it’s super comfortable, with high quality furnishings and the kitchen is equipped for you to cook ANYTHING!
Clay is friendly and professional. We will definitely seek him out for any future Peninsula stays.

This was our second stay at one of Clay's properties and it was wonderful. The house was beautiful, stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed the beach cruisers, fire pit, and DVD collection. Clay was great with communication! We'll be back next year.

The property is spacious, clean, and perfect for a getaway. The Peninsula offers something for everyone in the family to enjoy!! We really enjoyed the small beach, the clubhouse pool and watching golfers from the back patio of the house. The house is stocked with everything you could need! Clay is a wonderful host and we can’t wait to visit again!

Home is in a great gated community with a fabulous golf course and club house. There are also many other golf courses to play which were close by (and we played them!). Home is wonderful for families and older adults. Community has wonderful facilities - gym, locker rooms, indoor pool and outdoor pools for both adults and wave pool for kids. Definitely a 10+

We really enjoyed our time at The Peninsula. Clay was very responsive to any questions we had and the home is beautiful and a perfect place to unwind.
The community is well kept with access to the water and different nature trails. The weather didn't cooperate while we were visiting but we still had a lovely time in large part to the quality of the home and the beauty of area.
We'd love to come back and would recommend this location to anyone who wants to relax and unwind.

This is our second stay at this property. Our first stay was so nice, we had our adult children join us this time. The house is immaculate but cozy. There are great amenities in the community, which kept our your adult kids and us very busy. It is only a short drive to the beach, shopping, and places to eat. The club house is a great place to have dinner, with great service and great food. And our host is always so helpful and efficient! Thank you for another great stay and great memories!

Simply put: we loved this beautiful home! This home is truly a home away from home. Great location on the golf course, great furniture, wonderful layout. This house has everything you need and more, including bikes! The clubhouse food was reasonably priced and was delicious. We absolutely love the Peninsula, as there is so much to do! Lastly, I have been renting vacation homes for over 15 years and I must say that the owner, Clay, is the nicest, most personable owner that I have ever met. We are looking forward to renting from him again!

Clay is a wonderful host and a pleasure to work with. He was always available and would respond quickly either by email or text. The house was perfect for our extended Easter vacation. The open layout made it easy to entertain indoors and the back patio was ideal for relaxing in the sun and watching the golfers. The fire pit was an added bonus during the chilly evenings There were plenty of bikes for all of our guests and several walking paths around the community. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent from Clay again in the future.

This home is located in an amenity-rich community with a view of the golf course. The neighborhood is well-kept. Beautiful landscaping and we loved all of the red tulips. The house is also just a few steps from a lovely nature trail. We loved the bay beach in the neighborhood and enjoyed an osprey sighting as well as babies in a nest. Great set up for families with kids with an upstairs loft and tv area as well as 4 bunk beds and plenty of bikes. Just book and enjoy!
