Welcome and thanks for your interest in our home. The community of King’s Grant is located on Fenwick Island, north of the municipal town limits and State Park beach concession area.
Community Details: King's Grant encompasses townhouse units located ocean front and bay front. 47 King’s Grant, “The Shore Thing” is a BAYFRONT unit. The beach is literally across the street. Our family began to vacation on Fenwick about 15 years ago when we wanted a slightly quieter location than Ocean City or Bethany. We purchased King’s Grant 9 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed owning it!
The beach that we have the privilege of enjoying is directly across the street. You can see the dunes and ocean from the second floor of the house. From our unit it takes about 4 minutes to touch sand.(Please review the satellite view available below this description for more visual detail)There is beach access through the north and south sides of the ocean units. 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 beach is wide, uncrowded and clean. It 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 bay side 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. 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. 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/marked parking spaces for our unit which are located in front of the unit. The spaces are within 40 feet of the front steps.
House Details: Welcome home! 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 Pottery Barn queen sleep sofa & small TV,also the powder room, and the laundry closet with a washer and dryer and 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. There are enough plates & utensils for 12 and several serving pieces, etc. We keep a basic spice pantry for those that also like to cook.
In the dining area is a counter with stools and dining table which seats 6 comfortably. The living room has a flat screen TV,DVD,CD/radio and Wi-Fi and comfortable seating for 6 people. Off the sliding glass doors from the living room is a nice sized screened porch with table and chairs(6). Beyond that is the 1st floor deck with a gas grill, teak steamer chairs and space to read the morning paper or enjoy a wonderful sunset.
There are 2 full bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The bayfront master has a beautiful view through the sliding glass door that leads to a private balcony overlooking the bay, double sink vanity, Jacuzzi tub, large closets, queen sized bed,and TV.
The front (ocean view) bedroom also has a queen sized bed, TV, private bath with a shower stall and views of the sunrise, the dunes and the ocean. There is a sitting area off the 2nd floor hall with a large picture window and game table. You can watch the sun rise over the ocean or use our 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 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 a TV/VCR and full bath with separate vanity.
The house is decorated in a casual, sophisticated style. The majority of the furnishings are from Pottery Barn. There are ample pillows and blankets, bureaus and closets to accommodate 8 people.
When we visit the beach, 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 home. Often we will spend the day with friends, enjoying the beach, or riding bikes, hit the pool in the afternoon, and enjoy a relaxing evening with cocktails and dinner on the deck. The sunsets make a great backdrop!
If your idea of vacation is NOT to cook, there are several 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.
Location, Location, Location!!! The beauty about this part of the island is that it is quiet and peaceful yet 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, you can get a charter out of Indian River Inlet which is 12 minutes north of the house or bring your kayak or canoe and put it in the bay 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 for ice cream or mini golf. This part of Fenwick Island is 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(our homes) 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.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home; it truly exceeded our expectations. It was so lovely that we found ourselves extra motivated and taking pride in "pre-cleaning" it in order to preserve the home-like atmosphere which first greeted us- the fresh cut flowers on the table being a prime example. The artwork displayed throughout the home revealed great taste on the part of the owners; we greatly enjoyed the signed prints of the beach scenes from the 1920's as well as the modern lithograths and and colorful wrap-around beach prints. The seashells were a very clever touch and our shell is lovingly featured in our daughter's bathroom which, coincidentally, just happens to have a pink and green color scheme. Thank you for that souvenir! Mornings found us all hunting for shells on the beach and my daughter has amassed a rather impressive collection, including a perfect starfish specimen. Early evenings always included crabbing on the dock. We seemed to pull crabs up in the trap every couple of minutes, watched them skitter across the dock, and take the plunge back into the water. It was great fun. We also watched two horseshoe crabs slowly swimming around on the bottom of the bay by the dock on several nights; they looked so prehistoric! Everyone was so friendly; our 3-year-old daughter made friends with the "neighbor's" 3-year-old daughter next door and they played together on the beach and socialized frequently "over the balconies" (*smile*) and at the pool. We were so thrilled with the community atmosphere as well as the fact that the beach was never crowded. We would love to return, but I personally feel I need more than one week as we have fallen in love with your place and Fenwick Isand in general. Thank you again for furnishing us with one of our most memorable family vacations to date.
Owner response:E- Thanks for the feedback. We are so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your Fenwick vacation. Thanks for choosing to stay with us again next summer. We look forward to your stay!

It was just as the pictures and description read -- steps to the pool, beach is very uncrowded (even July 4th weekend!), and the view is simply spectacular. House is clean, has a great beach feel and the owner is extremely helpful.
Owner response:A-Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear it was a great trip. Please feel free to contact us again should you care to stay in Fenwick! We'd love to have you.

We had a great time here. It was spacious, clean, and very nice in general. Location was key. Close to uncrowded beach. Pool with in walking distance and very well kept. Short drive into Ocean City or Bethany Beach. We really enjoyed eating at Harpoon Hannah's. You could reaaly relax here. It was not noisey as if you stayed in a hotel. We felt very rested when we left.
Owner response:We are so pleased that your family vacation was successful! Thank you for your kind words. Please join us again!
