Mina was wonderful about communicating with us to ensure we knew the ins and outs of getting into the House. There were three families in the beach house and it worked perfectly as there are multiple beds in some rooms. Having numerous bathrooms helped us get to our son's rehearsal dinner and wedding on time! Loved being able to run across to the beach just whenever! Thank you for all the amenities kept in the garage as well- there were toys for adults and kids! Michelle and Mike Figueroa

This house is beautiful, spacious, and super close to the beach (just across one street). We had a big group with little kids and we loved that each family had space to spread out. We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. We spent most evenings/mornings on the beautiful back screened-in porch. Mina was super responsive and great to work with. We hope to come back one day!

The property was large and had anything you could ever need for a relaxing beach trip. From beach chairs to crab pots to kayaks, everything was there. The host was incredibly responsive and the house was in incredible condition.

We booked this house to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Our group ranged in age from 3 - 80, and it was a perfect fit for every member of our party. The selection on games, books, and beach/active gear had something for everyone. We especially loved the screened in porch and the outdoor shower, which made transitioning between inside/outside seamless. Speaking of which, it honestly could not be any easier to get to the beach. My elderly father has health problems and we were worried about his ability to get to the beach, but OMG it was so close and easy! There's just the slightest sand dune, and then you're right there! The beach was mostly calm and semi-private most days/times, except for Saturday afternoon when it was packed and people parked even parked their cars in front of the house (but it was Labor Day weekend and it was a perfect beach day.) The owners were also very communicative and fast to respond to all questions, which was awesome.

Simply tremendous! House had everything we could have wanted and was in the best condition of any beach rental we have ever had. Property owners Mina and Greg were outstanding from before and throughout our stay. Bay was especially perfect for our grandchildren and just one block from the house. All 3 generations had a great vacation!

The perfect spot for our party of grandparents, parents, and kids. Enough room for everyone to have space as well as great common space for dinners and hangouts. Mina and Greg are wonderful hosts and we can’t wait to return.

This home is beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. We had 6 adults and 2 children (9y and 12y). We appreciated that we could fit 3 cars in the driveway - it was a little tight but worked. The walk to the beach was short and safe. The garage has lots of things to take to the beach including chairs that we used. The kitchen had plenty of counter space, a large pantry and 2 refrigerators. Plenty of pots and pans, dishes and utensils. The can opener did not work well- but that is really the only negative feedback I can share! We all slept great, enjoyed the table we could all eat at together and had fun with the games (UNO and Scategories) that they had. We did need to use the local Emergency room for a little visit, and it was less than 10 minutes away. We were close to lots of fun things to do including mini-golf, brewery tours, and a trip to the Rehobeth boardwalk. We rented bikes and really enjoyed the trails at Henlopen State Park. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the screened in porches- especially the upper story one with the hammock. The owners have a beautiful home and have done a great job organizing and labeling to ensure a smooth visit. This was one of our favorite places we have stayed with our family! Thank you!!
