About this property

Charming canal front home, quiet neighborhood, one mile from ocean, Prof. Clean.

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.

Beautiful home, excellent location!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. The house comes stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect for us as it is only about 2 miles from the drive on beaches. We were able to bring our two dogs along on our trip which means a lot to us. The home is located on a quiet street, which is perfect for morning and evening walks. Thanks again to John for sharing his home with us, we will definitely be back!

Thank you Amanda. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that you were able to bring the pups with you on vacation. The "drive on" beaches of Delaward are one of our favorite things to do as well. Have a great rest of the summer and we hope you will return next year.

The home has everything you need. Delaware /Maryland is our yearly family vacation and I always bring extra supplies because you never know what you might need. But we didn’t need anything extra at John’s home. From extra tissue/paper towel to a steaming pot for the crabs caught from the dock. It had it all. We loved this place and will be back for sure. We also checked out the restaurant John recommended CATCH 54 which was delicious.

About the host

Hosted by John Lee

Host profile image
Semi-retired, I am a licensed Washington DC tour guide who enjoys golf and snow skiing when I am not guiding. I had worked in the hospitality industry for 40 years including over 25 years with the Marriott corporation. Because of that, my objective is that our guests have a great "turn key" stay. We also enjoy domestic and international travel and spend much of the non-summer months at the beach house sampling the great local cuisine at off season prices.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this house because it is a very quiet and relaxed waterfront location but conveniently located from many attractions and the ocean. Originally I was enticed by a close friend who lives year round on the street but since, have developed several other friends who live there year round. We have great neighbors and about half of the block are people who live there year round.

What makes this property unique

As a single story home, it has all the amenities I need including a quiet deck overlooking adjoining canals. On a dead end street between two canals, you can walk to Harpoon Hannah's. Papa Grande's, Catch 54 and more but you are still tucked away from the main highways. We try to make sure the house is fully stocked with your daily needs to include toilet paper, paper towles, foils, baggies, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, spices and cooking needs. We suggest guests come to the house before hitting the crowded grocery stores.
