  Our church choir and their families retreated to Rehoboth for a weekend of fellowship and singing in September. The house was perfect for our needs. Large, comfortable, well-appointed and well-maintained in a quiet residential area of the town. Added plusses were the hot tub, proximity to the beach and restaurants, a large kitchen and eating area and a large screened front porch. Highly recommended for families!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind words, Linda. It was wonderful to have you, and we look forward to having you back again this fall!

  Our group was a group of avid road cyclists touring the DelMarVa peninsula, and this was our first stay at Seahorse Crossing. We were impressed by the owner's website of the same name, which showed lots of photos including a floorplan, as well as plenty of things to do in the area...even at this time of the year which isn't "traditional" beach-going weather. We understand he's a bit of a cycling enthusiast too, which is a nice coincidence! But the house, as well as the area, was totally charming. Our group was able to spread out comfortably in the main house as well as the guest cottage, and the kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas were comfortably appointed and well-stocked with pretty much everything we needed. We were impressed that they even had a recycle bin in the kitchen...very eco-conscious owners! The hot tub was VERY much enjoyed after our daily rides. The beds and bedding were delightful, and the rental company they put us in touch with for our bed linens and towels was easy to deal with and surprisingly cost-effective...saved us the headache of laundering our stuff the morning of check-out or packing the stuff in our suitcases. This stay was our first in the area, and although we had looked around at other properties online and couldn't find one as nice as this one (based upon the photos and descriptions), the owner was a joy to deal with as well...very responsive and attentive to our needs. And even tho it seems the owners have a property on Lake Michigan closer to our home (and we want to check that out as well) we definitely plan to return to Seahorse Crossing, hopefully sometime during the summer season, and experience Rehoboth in "prime time."

  We had 8 adults and five children under the age of six. The home and cottage handled this number of guests very well - enough bedrooms, enough bathrooms,several common areas, internet, and large kitchen well stocked. The owner has done a great job with interior decorating. We loved the screened front porch. It helped make it feel like a beach house. Proximity to beach was great. Two beach/cruising bikes are kept at the home and all adults loved riding around town on them. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub as well. Funland, just down the boardwalk, is a terrific amusement park for young children and the rides are cheap. You feel like you've gone back in time. The owner prior to our arrival was very responsive and there were no surprises. Our biggest complaint is having to rent or bring our own linens. Given the cost of a week's rental for this home, linens should be included. The basement (where there is a second refrigerator. washer/dryer, air hockey table) and cottage are quite musty. Charming landscaping, but it was in need of a good clean-up and pruning.

  Owner response: Even though we didn't receive a 5-star rating from you, and for that we are truly sorry, nevertheless we wanted to update you on a major renovation we have completed over the winter to weatherproof and reinvigorate our basement. The heavy rains incurred in Rehoboth last season, which while atypical of the summers there, nevertheless caused a significant rise in the water table, and as you commented, it was causing a slight musty odor in the basement. We've now addressed that, by installing new commercial-grade "membranes" on the inside of all exterior walls, a totally-new perimeter drainage system and heavy-duty sump pump (with backup) around the foundation, and also have installed a commercial-grade dehumidifier to eliminate any evaporative moisture which is the primary cause of the "musty" odor. We take all of our guest comments seriously, especially the not-so-perfect ones, as we want to make everyone's experience at Seahorse Crossing as pleasant and memorable as possible. Thank you for staying with us, and for providing excellent feedback. Should you decide to return, please contact us for a special Discount Code we've got just for you and your family!

  We just returned from what we calculate to be our 19th annual stay at 103 Rodney Street. Needless to say, we wish we were still there, and look forward to our return next year. The property is always clean and well-maintained, and suits our large, extended family ideally. Our teenagers and younger adults enjoy the bit of privacy they maintain in the carriage house, while the main house has plenty of space for us "older" adults and those with younger children. We get lots of use out of the large, incredibly hot gas grill and the hot tub. The house bikes and beach chairs cut down on the stuff that must be schlepped from home. The beach and boardwalk are just a short walk away, as are the many excellent restaurants. The owners are thoughtful and responsive, and work to regularly update the house and amenities. Without a doubt, the highlight of the last several years has been dinner with Chef Gary - truly a decadent treat.

  This was our 1st year at Seahorse Crossing and it was great. It was very nicely decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed; especially liked the Margarita maker. We loved the night with Chef Gary and also the night we used the grill. We've been coming to RB for 30 years and the kids are now young adults(and we added an infant this year). Still love coming, and we look forward to returning next year. Thanks for keeping your home in great shape.

  Owner response: We're so glad you had a great time, and were thrilled to have you with us for the first time during the height of the summer! Looking forward to having you back with us again next season.

  Our party of 13, including 5 kids, had such a relaxing stay at your home. We had more than enough space for the kids to run and explore. They especially liked watching movies in the guest house. The kitchen was well appointed and had every utensil and appliance you could think of! Each bedroom was unique and nicely decorated. We had the pleasure of staying in the master bedroom and the rain shower in the master bathroom was AMAZING. The proximity of your home to the beach was convenient. Although we visited in November, we were able to enjoy an unseasonably rm day at the beach while taking family photos. Everything about our stay was magical. I felt sad leaving, but I dream of returning back. Kee the porch light on for us, we'll be back soon. Bravo to the owner. I'm dreaming of returning and having drinks on the porch. Your home is a gem.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for your kind words, and especially for staying with us at Seahorse Crossing! We enjoyed making our home available to you, and look forward to having you back with us again sometime soon. So many of our guests are returning ones, it feels like "family" to us...and makes sharing our home with nice folks like you much more fun! Best wishes for the happiest of holidays!

  This is a great place for family and families to spend time together. It was the perfect location for a special holiday gathering. It was also a comfortable place for 13 people (including 5 kids!). You can't beat the location- one block from the beach. Thanks Todd! The Anderson's

  Owner response: Thanks for being such wonderful guests! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your family getaway during the "off"-season...it's our favorite time to be in Rehoboth and one of the many reasons we love having guests like you! We look forward to welcoming you back to Seahorse Crossing at some time in the near future, and counting you as some of our many loyal guests who are becoming like "family"!

  Upon arrival we were immediately taken by the impressive furnishings and layout of the house and grounds. Our visit was perfect in every respect. Our family included teens, tweens, children, young adults and of course Pop-Pop and Grammy each and everyone found just the right mix of relaxation and activity. One of the highlights for everyone was our outstanding dinner with Chef Gary. His preparation, presentation and personality made the evening the perfect ending for the perfect day. Todd's caring manner and attention to details created the best vacation imaginable, this coming from a family that has done a great deal of it together. We have had many cruises and houses in several settings, this will remain as the best of the best. We look forward to next year's return to go to places found but not explored and return to those we enjoyed so much.

  "Our family (16 people) is spread geographically from each other. For that reason, every two years we have a family reunion so that the little ones will know their cousins, aunts and uncles. Seahorse Crossing was the perfect house for our multi-generational vacation. The property lived up to and even exceeded the description of both the owner and other guests. Our hosts proved to be amazingly gracious, from the kitchen stocked with almost anything one could need, to the extras they provided. The private dinner prepared and served by a five star chef was a totally unique and wonderful experience; the food was divine and the man was warm and interesting. The massage therapist was as accommodating as he could be, and all four of us who chose to avail ourselves of his services thought that the massages were top notch. The boat rides were enjoyed by all; we appreciated the opportunity given us by the Smiths at the boat club in Dewey Beach. Seahorse Crossing is tastefully decorated and well maintained. Its layout provides privacy for families and worked really well for us. With the beach,Funland and Rehoboth Avenue a short walk away, even the young children were able to hoof it from the house to the attractions. The property manager, was very responsive whenever we had a question. For that matter, before the trip I bothered the owner with many obssessive questions and he patiently responded to each one. Everything about the house made this the very best reunion property we've rented. We'd enthusiastically recommend it."

  Owner response: Thank you, Carol, for your kind words. You were an absolute pleasure to have as our guests, and we hope to have you back with us once again soon! I never felt your questions were out of the ordinary, and sincerely appreciate your attention to detail, and desire to make for the best possible vacation experience for you and your family! You actually helped us inmprove some of the information we present online, and we really appreciate it! Thank you as well for highlighting in your comments the many, varied elements of our vacation offering, so that others may see how we're a little different from the rest in what we offer our guests during their weekly stay, and how we try to go the "extra mile" in making their vacation worry-free, enjoyable, and above all else relaxing.
