Great property. Layout is conducive to family time. Property had toys and other baby/toddler/kid activities. Fire pit area is amazing. Pool was clean and fenced off. Really enjoyed our time.

This cottage with the extra house was a great getaway for our family to relax! Pool was amazing for the granddaughters to swim and relax in. We enjoyed the extra space to do a fire pit at night. Loved seeing the deer in the early morning hours. One thing I will say is that the mattresses on all the beds need to be updated and navigating the stairs to the basement for laundry was treacherous! Although, we were thankful for the chance to have laundry in the house.

We enjoyed our long weekend here. Everything was very clean. The pool temperature was great, warm enough to swim in 70 degree weather. We enjoyed the outdoor table and peaceful surroundings. Nice walk to the dunes state park which is a great place to go to the beach. Communication with the owner was excellent.

The property checks a lot of boxes for a family vacation. We were there with our daughter's family including four kids ages 5 and under. Grandma and Grandpa were happy to have our own place in the guest cottage. There was room for all of us at the dining table in the main house, and the private pool was a big attraction. There were also many little conveniences that made it nice - lots of plasticware for the kids, cookware for preparing meals, broom/dustpan for sweeping up the inevitable crumbs, etc. Be sure to look through the little white booklet from the owners that will answer lots of FAQs. There were several nearby options for entertaining the kids, from Warren Dunes beach/park to Captain Mike's bumper boats, a pick-your-own blueberry farm, etc. We walked the kids up the street to the playground in Bethany Beach neighborhood for a quick recess, and no one chased us out although we were told they are protective of their area. We also drove up to St. Joseph for the giant splash pad and great Silver Beach Pizza spot. While there are closer golf courses, we drove an hour north to Ravines, a nice Arnold Palmer course ($44 weekday senior rate), and Mommy and Daddy enjoyed renting a jeep on the dunes even further north. The property itself is a bit like being in the woods - a deer was dining on the plants behind the houses when we arrived. We had a campfire one night (be careful on the stone steps leading down) and the 5-yr-old chased the little tree frogs hopping around. The grounds could use a little pruning and a power washer could be put to good use here and there, but indoors was clean and comfortable. Good communication with the owners. We notified them of a loose screen and jamb on a porch door and they had it fixed before we left. All in all we would consider staying here again.
