Welcome and thanks for your interest in our home. The community of King’s Grant is located in North Fenwick Island, above the municipal town limits and State Park beach concession area.
Our community encompasses townhouse units that are both ocean front and bay front. 47 King’s Grant, “The Shore Thing” is a BAYFRONT unit. Our family began to vacation in Fenwick about 14 years ago when we wanted a slightly quieter location than Ocean City or Bethany. We purchased King’s Grant 8 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed owning it!
The beach that we have the privilege of enjoying is right across the street. From our unit it takes about 4 minutes to touch sand.
There is access to the beach on the north side of the units and also on the south side. Both take you on a boardwalk that protects the dunes. The northern access has an outside fresh water shower to clean off after swimming.
The beaches here are pretty wide, not very crowded and very clean. The beach is owned and maintained by the State of Delaware and is an unprotected beach. Should you feel the need to be on a guarded beach, you can go south to the State park ¼ mile or north to Bethany about ½ mile.
As mentioned, our home is on the bayside of the community which also includes the location of the pool and pier. These 2 amenities have offered us another wonderful dimension to our time at the beach. The pool is situated at the edge of the bay with tall grasses surrounding three sides of it.
There is normally a slight rustle with the breeze blowing the grasses. On the pool deck are several lounge chairs as well as tables with chairs. There is also a restroom at the pool. Next to the pool is the pier which goes out into the bay and is a great place to fish and crab or just hang out! My kids spend hours out there.
There are 2 reserved parking spaces for our unit which are located in front of the unit. The spaces are within 40 feet of the front porch. When you enter the foyer, the stairs to the 2nd floor are on the right.
Through the hallway to the left is the den which houses a queen sleep sofa & small TV and the powder room. The laundry closet is also in that hall with room for beach chair storage. As you walk into the house, the kitchen is on the left and then the dining/living space.
The kitchen is fully equipped with more than you will need to cook at the beach. There are enough plates & utensils for 12 and several serving pieces, etc. We keep a basic spice pantry there for those that also like to cook and we just ask that if you use the last of whatever it is that you replenish it.
The dining room table seats 6 very comfortably. There is a television/VCR, DVD player and CD player in the living room. The unit is also wired for Wi-Fi. Off the sliding glass doors is a nice sized screened-in porch with table and chairs. Beyond that is the 1st floor deck with a gas grill, comfortable chairs and some really great sunsets.
The 2nd floor has a bedroom on the bayside (Master) and the ocean side. The master has a queen bed, small TV, double sink vanity and Jacuzzi tub. There is also a private balcony off the bedroom that overlooks the bay.
The front (ocean) bedroom also has a queen bed and private bath with a shower stall. There is a sitting area off the 2nd floor hall with a large picture window. You can watch the sun rise over the ocean or use the binoculars to see the freighters in the ocean at night. If neither of those activities appeals to you, you can just sit there and play a mean game of checkers!
The 3rd floor is “The Crow’s Nest”. Decorated slightly whimsically it houses a trundle bed which can accommodate 2 singles when pulled out or can be pushed together to make a queen bed. There is also a full bath on that floor.
The house is decorated in a casual, sophisticated style. The majority of the furnishings are from Pottery Barn. There are ample bureaus, closets, pillows and blankets to comfortably accommodate 8 people.
When we visit the beach, we unpack, the kids and my husband either go to the pier or the beach and I head to the grocery store. We prefer not to go out every night. I like to cook and enjoy entertaining at the beach.
Often we will enjoy a day at the beach, or ride our bikes, hit the pool in the afternoon, come in for a little down time, shower, fix a relaxing dinner with a few friends and enjoy cocktails on the deck watching the sunset.
The kids are happy to eat in the dining room and we serve dinner on the back porch for the adults. If your idea of vacation is NOT to cook, there are any number of GREAT restaurants and pubs close to our house. We keep a visitors binder in the living room with information regarding restaurants & pubs, day trips, state parks, etc.
The beauty about this part of Fenwick is that it is very close to everything, shopping in Rehoboth is ½ hour north of the house, if you would like to go out on a fishing boat for the day you can get a charter out of Indian River Inlet which is 12 minutes north of the house or if you bring your kayak or canoe you can put it in the bay about ½ mile north at one of the state park bay beaches. Great golf is just a phone call away.
It’s nice to have the option to have quiet time or hop in your car and go out for ice cream or mini golf. This part of Fenwick Island is like a well kept secret that we are now sharing with you. If you are interested in more information or would like to rent our house, please contact us.
Thanks for your time!

Why the Owner Chose Fenwick Island
We decided to purchase in Fenwick because it is 3 hours from Baltimore/Washington and an incredibly well kept secret in terms of solitude and beauty. It is wonderfully relaxing,family-friendly and the views and wildlife are fantastic.
