House is nice but dated. Host fixed the internet

Our vacation was wonderful! We had beautiful weather, the location was perfect, and John and Cathy were such a help! The house is very nice and had everything you might need for cooking and relaxing. The wrap-around deck was great! It kept our dogs contained and still able to run around and exercise while we were grilling and enjoying the views. And to top it off, a beautiful double rainbow after a rain shower!

This is just what we were looking for! Wonderfully stocked, updated and clean private house just steps from an unpopulated beach, with friendly people who say hello and an abundance of nature. What a retreat for our busy NY suburban family and our fur baby. “Nothing to do”, we were told… well that was exactly what we found and how amazing it was! Family time steps from the beach. Dinner in, cooking on the grill on the beautiful deck that surrounds the entire house. Watched the sunset at night on one side, saw it rise the next morning on the other. Pure beauty and enjoyment. On the beach we enjoyed the amazing horseshoe crabs, (one of the oldest species in the world with such importance to the migratory bird population and their dependence for food. Flip them over if they need help.. we did). We loved watching the harmless and very entertaining ghost crabs scurry sideways while digging holes like dogs hiding bones in the yard. We also counted the many interesting species of birds we saw each day. Our favorite was the giant Osprey who hover, and dive to retrieve fish from the water to then fly overhead back to their nests in the nearby reserve feeding their young. And if you miss the hustle and bustle…then the drive to Rehoboth or Lewes is 25 minutes and you can dine, see a movie or play mini golf. We even took a short day trip, just over an hour drive to Assateague Island to see the wild horses on the beach. Thank you Cathy and John for sharing your special home with us.

We loved our stay. Perfect location, with an outstanding deck that went all the way around the house. John was friendly and responsive without being intrusive. We’ll be back.

We selected this as a result of the 5 star reviews. When we arrived the bathrooms and kitchen surfaces were clean. The pet odor was overwhelming. Long dog hair was under the beds, along with bones, and under the dressers. One set of sheets left for us smelled like dog, so I went to wash them and the front load washer was full of long dog hair and the rubber ring was full of mold (the door of a front load washers should be kept open when not in use to prevent mold) . I cleaned it the best I could and rewashed the sheets and they still smelled like a dog. There were other sheet sets in the cupboard that were fine, so we used those. A hot tub was listed as an Amenity. This was a key consideration when we chose this unit. There was no hot tub. The walking proximity to the Delaware bay was fantastic and the Bay water view was just like being at the ocean, and we had the beach all to ourselves. We drove to the town of Lewes and had great food and enjoyed the quaint shops. There was a brand new grill on the deck, we chose not to cook, but it is nice to have. Our dog loved the wrap around deck. Don't forget to take bug spray and your own beach chairs. Loved the birds, and saw a hummingbird and even a beautiful red fox while walking on the street that seemed harmless.

This property is great and the pictures depict it perfectly. We can’t wait to go back.
