About this house rental
Sitting on intersecting canals, with easy access to the ocean the house if fully equipped to make your stay as "turn key" as possible. Golf, fishing, dining, shopping and amusements for children are all nearby. There is a quiet deck overlooking the canal and a boat dock for crabbing and fishing for the kids. Weber Gas Grill for your barbequing pleasure. Free WiFi plus UHD TV with surround sound in the living room, Hi Def and WiFi enabled TV in the master bedroom, and HiDef TV in the second bedroom. This is an excellent location for kids as it is on a dead end street (minimal traffic) tucked between two canals. Everything you need for a quiet, restful stay, yet close to all the fun you could want. We have several guests who come back year after year.
This is a one story, three bedroom house with a nice deck overlooking two canals. There is boat dock at the house with tie ups. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house has off street parking. There are games for kids to play and nice area to walk and bike. Grocery stores are less than a five minute drive and several popular restaurants nearby.
We are PET FRIENDLY with a security deposit.
PROFESSIONAL CLEANING BETWEEN GUESTS - Our licensed professional cleaning company will go into the house between guests to properly disinfect all primary surfaces including door knobs and handles, light switches, bathrooms, sinks, telephone, remotes and other surfaces. We also have an adequate supply of disinfecting wipes available as long as our good guests use conservatively and leave unused for the next guests (and we almost always have wonderful guests). We ask guests to leave the house as clean as they found it when arriving so the cleaners can focus on disinfecting well.
JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST rentals are Saturday to Saturday (7 nights) only.
Bookings for 2023 will be opened in January, 2023 as we have many repeat guests who have the first option for prime summer weeks.

Wonderful time.

We had a fantastic stay at this bright, open home in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood! We love this area and this is our favorite home here so far. The house was very clean and comfortable with a great view of the canal, which our dog just loved to see the kayaks, pontoon boats and geese go by! It had great wifi and a fully stocked kitchen. It was so nice to have all the little extras provided to get us started, like coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. Location was great; off the main strip but close enough to get to beaches, restaurants and shops in minutes. John provided great information and was VERY responsive to all our questions. He made it so easy to check in and get ourselves settled. Looking forward to staying again!

We were comfortable from the minute we stepped into the house! All of our needs were met. The beach was minutes away as were the restaurants. When we cooked the kitchen was well appointed. We are looking forward to next year!

We stayed at John's place for a family getaway. It was close to everything! And a 5 minute drive to the beach, We enjoyed hanging out by the water and relaxing. The house had everything we needed plus more. Plus we were lucky enough to see a rocket launch and 2 pass overs by the ISS. I'd definitely recommend it.

This house had everything you need to enjoy a vacation. We felt at home from the minute we stepped foot in the door. We have never stayed in a house that provided us with so many amenities. House was cozy, neighbors were very friendly and located in an ideal spot. We definitely will return!!

We came down for a basketball tournament. When the owner says you don’t need to bring anything but sheets and towels, they mean it. This home is beautiful, warm (not in temperature) and cozy. The view is breathtaking and neighbors are kind. Its about a 5 min drive to the beach. Our pups were very much at home. I will be going back

Wonderful, gem of a property in Fenwick Island! We loved the beauty of being on the canal, use of the kayaks and excellent location to the beach, mini golf and more! The owner is very thoughtful with attention to details that you won't find in other rentals. House was clean, well stocked and much more beautiful in person than the pictures depict!

Overall a perfect vacation for our family!

Nice location, kayaks were a bonus, great view out back. Somewhat small house, but good size for a single family. Walking on the gravel barefoot outside everywhere is painful.
The bathroom under-mount sink cracked while we were there, we let the host know right away. What followed was an unacceptable customer experience. The property manager made false claims like we drank the host's wine, stained the carpet, used house supplies without replacing them, and didn't leave the house clean. We don't even drink wine, didn't open a single bottle. We did use a spare toothbrush because we forgot one, but we immediately replaced it with a new one. The host kept the damage deposit and also claimed $300 from the property damage insurance. Upon asking for an itemized list of the amounts deducted and justification, the host has yet to respond after over a week. I don't understand how the sink could have cracked, but as we told the host, I can understand requesting us to pay for a ~$50 sink and even ~$100 install cost since it occurred while we were there. However, the amount of damages, that the host is claiming, is inflated significantly.
The property listing states professional cleaning between guests, but that does not appear to be the case. For example, when we arrived, the refrigerator had a fair amount of food left in it, showers had used soap, etc. Upon leaving, the property manager emailed us saying we "left the house very dirty". However, we swept, did the dishes, wiped down all surfaces, made the beds, even arranged the pillows, etc. Our dog is well trained and had zero accidents while we were there. We took care of the house like it was our own, we did not leave it dirty, and a professional cleaner would have had an easy job after us. Since the property manager still complained about cleanliness, I suspect a full professional cleaning is not actually done between guests.
The host's communication, or lack thereof, and the damages reported do not accurately portray how we treated the house.
If you stay here, I recommend planning to not get the damage deposit returned and clean significantly before checking out.

Decent place, but property manager lied, unresponsive, and left a sour taste in our mouth

We loved that we were on a canal and could sit on the deck and gaze at the water. I'm afraid of jellyfish, so I declined to take the kayak out, but most people wouldn't be so wimpy!
Fantastic vacation!

John was a great host. We communicated frequently before our arrival and he was available to answer questions. Great location convenient to Food Lion and the local beaches. We launched our boat at the Bayville Marina and docked at the house in the canal. Water in the canal is calm and plenty deep enough for our 20ft deck boat and allowed us quick access to the bay. We used the house's crab traps to catch just enough crabs in three nights to have a few nice crab cakes during the last day. House is well equipped with kitchen essentials. Great chef-quality knives too! Looking forward to a return trip.

We are never staying in a hotel at the beach again. Our trip was the best. A beautiful house with plenty of amenities right on the water. Such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. My kids loved it. We will be back next summer.

Despite the rainy weather this past Memorial Day Weekend was a blast. John is a great host and answers all questions promptly. House is at a great location on the bay - walking distance from many restaurants and shops. Beach is only a 2-5 minute job and parking was easy. We would recommend staying here and so would our pups!
