About this cottage rental

This delightful waterfront cottage is available for rent throughout the year. You can enjoy picturesque beachfront water views from nearly every room in the house. The cottage is furnished luxuriously, creating a serene and relaxing environment that feels like your own private oasis. It is situated near Rehoboth Beach, DE, widely known for its boardwalk and numerous activities, events, outlet shopping malls, concert venues, and restaurants. We take immense pride in ensuring that your stay is perfect. We have a well-stocked kitchen and provide various beach toys, boogie boards, life jackets, paddle boards, chairs, and exceedingly comfortable furniture and beds with 1800 thread count sheets.
The open floor plan, with a four-season sunroom, is the primary attraction of this cottage. It offers breathtaking water views and direct and quick access to the beach and the expansive Delaware Bay. You will fall in love with the sound of the waves breaking against the beautiful wide sandy beach, curling up with a great book, or just enjoying long naps on the Sunbrella swing at the top of the dune. While you are here, you can observe the thriving Purple Martin community in their five high-rise birdhouse condos that clearly love the beach, too, and will tell you all about it! From sunrise to sunset, you will be surrounded by beauty. Wake up to the aroma of coffee from our coffee bar, enjoy stunning sunrises over the water, the sound of seagulls, herons, and egrets dancing along the coastline, and perhaps even spot dolphins frolicking for breakfast. If you love long, relaxing walks, this is the perfect beachcomber's paradise with wide sandy beaches and shells - sometimes even sea glass. A large 30x12 stone patio provides ample room to enjoy the outdoors, cookout, or enjoy late-night conversation under the stars by the firepit. The indoors are stylishly decorated and comfortable. Enjoy meals together in the sunroom dining area that seats eight, play board games and puzzles with loved ones, or take long, dreamy naps on our lounge chairs with two full-length massagers that melt your stress away while the sound of the water lulls you to sleep. If you're looking for a vacation spot where you can easily work remotely, we've got you covered. Our accommodations include high-speed Wi-Fi and two fully equipped workstations. Each workstation has two large monitors, laptop stands, a mouse, a keyboard, and a webcam (available only in the loft). Our universal docking stations make it easy to connect all your devices without any hassle. Simply plug in, and you're good to go!
This cottage is ideal for a quiet and peaceful spot on your own beach, unlike the busy crowds at the main beach attractions. Our cottage is located in Slaughter Beach, but it could be called Sanctuary Beach because of the nature reserve surrounding the area, featuring the world-renowned horseshoe crab migration and red knot arctic bird migration. We have even been known to have baby turtles on our patio. Whether planning the perfect vacation with family, a romantic getaway, a friend's get-together, shopping at the Tanger Outlets, or working remotely, nothing beats the sound and sights of sparkling water and birds to make your holiday or workday more enjoyable. Spend some time at Captains' Cottage - your perfect Delaware beach rental.

So many thoughtful details in this peaceful waterside cottage. Charming yet modern, very clean, many comfortable gathering spaces. From the dining tables indoors and outdoors, to the best equipped kitchen, to sitting on the big swing and watching the purple martins flit in and out of their five houses, to the children's books about horseshoe crabs, everything was just so lovely. There is enough sand at the beach to sit or dig or walk, as well as beautiful rounded stones to collect at the water's edge. Totally worth waking up for every sunrise on the beach. (To swim, drive over to the oceanside). We'll be back.

As for the cottage, it was wonderful. The hosts provided everything you could think of: linens, towels, beach towels, toiletries, beach chairs, kayaks, coffee, etc. Our party consisted of six adults, two children, a nine and six year old, and a nine month old baby. We had plenty of room. Depending on the time of day, the mosquitoes/horseflies could be annoying. For the beach itself, it was conveniently close, right down a little path. I would say it’s more of a natural preserve beach. There’s definitely a good share of dead horseshoe crabs but we weren’t really bothered by them. If you are wanting a beach for swimming, then I don’t think this is the beach for you. It is definitely pebbly, you need flip flops, crocs or water shoes. It’s more for seashell/sea glass picking. On the suggestion in the hosts binder, we went to Cape Henlopen for a day of swimming and sunbathing. It didn’t disappoint either. Fluffy sand, nice ocean waves, a snack bar and a seagull or two looking for a handout. It ended up being a really nice, relaxing time with family.

My husband and I along with my daughter thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It is mere steps to a quiet beach along which you can walk or simply sit in the ample seating provided by the owners. Technology and appliances all worked without fail - wifi, tv, ac, shower, toilet, dishwasher, stove, coffee machine. Rehoboth and Lewes are just a 20 minute drive away. Bed and seating are comfortable. And our dog loved the home. Neighbors were nice. Everything was clean. It is really a great place to stay. Hope we can do it again!

This beach house was perfect and matched exactly what the listing stated - no surprises or disappointments! My husband and I booked this beach house for a last minute trip over Father’s Day weekend. My husband doesn’t like crowds so we were looking for a quiet setting, right on the water, with beautiful views. This place was perfect! The water was a little warmer since it was the Bay Area. We were close to the big ocean beaches with bigger waves and sandy beaches where we could visit for a short time and then retreat back to our peaceful beach cottage. Patrick and Angel were wonderful hosts. They replied quickly, and their home was clean and well maintained. They provided kayaks, boogie boards, sand toys, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, grill fire pit and more. Some tips that made our stay enjoyable: Bring some water shoes for walking along the pebbly beach. Bring bug spray (with deet) to deter the horse flies. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will be back again as our children want to make it an annual destination.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beachside cottage. It was very clean, and very well set up for guests -- we had everything we needed for our visit, including a well stocked kitchen that made it easy to cook meals. The house is lovely and comfortable, and we absolutely loved the all-weather room with ocean views. The beach is just steps from the house, and there are lots of options for enjoying it, from beach chairs to kayaks. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere very much. We brought our two small dogs, and it was a great setup for dog owners -- our pups had a lovely time. We look forward to coming back!
