Best Vacation Stay Ever!
Kim is the best: she provided every conceivable amenity. We wanted for nothing--even all the sheets, towels, books, puzzles, fully equipped kitchen. Plus all beach "equipment"-- chairs, balls, bikes, toys...even a canoe & kayak! Will book again!!

Great long weekend
We stayed at Kim's for a high school friend's wedding. The house is fully equipped with everything you'd ever need. Kim was very good at communicating when we had a slight issue checking in, and how to take care of the house during a storm. We would love to come back with our toddler to make use of all of the beach items we weren't able to use this time I'd definitely recommend staying here when in Fenwick!

Golf weekend
Have been coming to Fenwick Island for over 20 years with friends for weekend of golf, fun & relaxation. This house was perfect for group of 5 and was a true beach house/cottage. Beautiful & clean house that is nicely upgraded with original detail as well. Front deck and back screened in porch/deck gives you nice water views. Everything you need is here. Kim was a fantastic host!

What a gem!
Where do I start?? Everything about The Cottage on Glenn is perfect for a summer getaway to the Delaware shores. The cottage's location is tucked into a great neighborhood right on the bay and only a short (6 minutes) walk to the beach and easy walks or drives to restaurants, bars and stores. You can watch the sun come up from the back deck on the water and the sun set from the porch swing on the front deck with a cocktail! The house itself is perfect for both couples or families. Large, bright fully stocked kitchen and large dining area that blends into the living area. We used bedrooms on both floors and each stayed cool from the central air, window units (upstairs) and ceiling fans in every room. You might not even need them if you open the sliders on the back and front porches, the breeze literally flows through the house. You won't find a rental with more amenities and equipment for a true beach vacation. Multiple bikes, dozens of beach chairs, games, towels, beach toys, wagons, umbrellas, sun tents, fishing poles, and the list goes on and on. Kim has this house set up especially well for families. We stayed at the Cottage with our 2 year old and Kim made sure we had games, toys, a toddler bike, and even beach accessories for our daughter, not to mention providing a portable pack and play plus mattress and linens for us so we didn't have to travel with them. The house is clean, welcoming and perfect for any time spent in Fenwick - it's a must rental!! Trust me!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Walter

Host profile image
My parents, George and Katherine, built the cottage in 1972, originally as a weekend escape for our family from northern Delaware. However, it quickly became our summer home. I worked in Fenwick every summer and fell in love with the area. One summer long ago, I met then married my husband, another local resident of Fenwick and together we have raised our own family just across the bay. My children grew up visiting their grandfather at The Cottage on Glenn, fishing in the lagoon, walking to the beach, eating dinners on the back deck and watching the sunset from the front deck swing. It holds some of our family's fondest memories and we hope it does the same for you.

Why they chose this property

Come enjoy everything a house on the water & within walking distance to the beautiful quiet beaches of Fenwick island has to offer!

Guests will enjoy sunset bay views on the front porch swing and their own private access to the water in the backyard. Take advantage of the kayaks and canoes available, or relax in the screened-in back porch after a long day at the beach.

Guests will feel right at home, and find that every amenity is provided to enjoy an unforgettable stay at the beach.
