We loved our stay at this lovey cottage. While on the bay, it gave the feel of being oceanfront in every way, with the rural residential area providing a peaceful alternative to the busy oceanfront beaches. It’s an easy 30 minute drive to Rehobeth and Bethany. We also visited Berlin and Assateaque Island, a little over a hour drive. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean, fully stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The host was incredibly accommodating providing fresh flowers, an offer to arrive a day early due to an incoming Nor’easter, and necessities to get through the storm available upon arrival.

It's not often when you travel to another state and realize you found the "best" place to just chill. Even with our crazy weather, there was no better place to be.We Loved it so much my husband asked if he could buy it.Simply put it has been the decision maker for us to relocate to Delaware. Our Host was great in any communication.

Beach retreat with young family

The quiet waters of Slaughter Beach (and few visitors) make it the perfect destination for a young family. The horseshoe crabs and dolphin pod were the talk of our ride home!We loved the cottage - the kitchen was also a nice surprise, as it was well stocked and very big for the cottage. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!

Book now! This is a lovely house on a quiet bay beach that is also a bird and horseshoe crab sanctuary. We saw dolphins and an eagle. The house is immaculate,, well appointed and stocked. Great kitchen and views. Close drive to shops and ocean beaches. The Big Oyster Brewery is a must visit! Our family of 5 and our dog enjoyed the visit and hope to return soon.

Absolutely LOVED this property! Beautiful decor, perfect layout, clean, quiet, & relaxing. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Seamless check in & checkout.

One of the best vacations i've ever had thanks to the gorgeous property and the outstanding management of the owners. Waking up to the sunrise, walking on the beach, relaxing on the patio, and watching the wildlife, which included a wide variety of birds, and also foxes, turtles, small sharks, and of course the horseshoe crabs! Plus Rehoboth Beach was 30 minutes away, so we had a wonderful dinner and walked along the boardwalk. Outstanding all around. I would love to come back.
