The expansive back deck facing the canal embodies the characteristic style of waterfront homes, adding to your Delaware coast experience!

Lounge in the light, open and airy living area with tasteful furniture and three wall-mounted flat-screen Smart TVs. You'll love the high-end beach-cottage decor! Spend relaxing movie nights inside the vacation rental home snuggled up on comfy couches adorned with copious pillows. Prepare home-cooked dinners in the modern and fully equipped kitchen, which shares an open floor plan with the dining area and living room.

Fill your days with water activities and afternoons at the beach. The property provides bicycles you can take for a spin and a two-person kayak you can use to get active on the bay.

Round up the beach supplies and beverages and make the 4-minute walk to the tranquil, family-oriented expansive beach. You'll be glad you escaped away from the crowded Ocean City and Bethany Beaches.
