  My husband I spent a week at David and Sophie's lovely home in April. David was kind enough to allow us to rent from Wed to Wed due to my husband's schedule. He is so easy to deal with and everything is done quickly.The home is gorgeous and the upstairs living area is to die for. I couldn't stop staring out the windows. The house is very large and since it was only the two of us we pretty much just used upstairs.The big tub in the master is awesome and inspired us to put one in our house! Loved all the different decks and porches. Depending on time of day, we rotated around to different places. The beach is quaint. We found seaglass every day and helped turn over horseshoe crabs. The house is within easy driving to Ocean City, Maryland and Rehoboth Beach. David was gracious enough to check in on us as soon as we arrived and alerted us to an upcoming meteor event. We hope to come back with a bigger group as the house is perfect for any size party! Thanks, David!!

  When I was looking for a family beach house vacation rental near Dover, Delaware, I certainly was lucky to have found this one. We wanted a house, not a hotel so that we could all be together for my husband's driving experience at Dover Racetrack. Our family was very comfortable staying here because of the location to the Dover Racetrack ( approx. 30 minute drive) and the perfect accomodations for a lot of people. The small community was very quiet & picturesque. It is situated about 5 miles east from the main road on Delaware Bay. Although it is not on the ocean, it was definitely what we wanted for a serene vacation. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, & had all the amenities a family would need. The owner was very informative & helpful when I had a question to ask. I would recommend this house for all that it was & because it is in between the attractions of Dover and the ocean beaches a little further south.

  The house is nice and the views fabulous, it is close to the water and we found alot of nice sea shells, it is fun to watch the tide come and go, We had 14 people and we fit perfectly, We decided last minute to do our mini vacation between Christmas & New Year and Dave was flexiable and letting us rent on short notice, the only complaint I heard was from my 6 children wishing it was Summetime, but the sunrises were great even in the cold weather and we didn't have to get as early to see them. The listing description & pictures are correct

  Since we are looking to stay again in 2012 I figured I am long overdue for a review. I first have to say the house is amazing! We loved the large open floor plan upstairs. Both decks, lower and upper provide a great view of the bay. We even caught a glimpse of military aircrafts flying to and from the base. Hot tub was a nice added bonus. We took advantage of that as the night winded down. Beach was great, shells all over and crabs mingling around. David and Sophie, the owners, were fantastic with their communication, answered all questions we had and made sure we were happy with our stay It was so relaxing; I think no one wanted to leave. It turned out to be an excellent family get together and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

  We were all very pleased with the accomodations. The only surprise (partly expected) was a flooded entrance road (due to high tides and high SE winds) which kept us away for about an hour and a half until the tide went out. We had a good time waiting near the little bridge about a mile from the house. The house was in good shape and the owner was generous and helpful in every way. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an isolated beach with access to Dover, Milford and Rehoboth, and numerous wildlife refuges. Be prepared for seasonal bugs and enjoy the seafood at Meding's!

  We had a wonderful family reunion at this lovely house. The beach was lovely as were the sunsets. Dave, the owner, was very helpful and great to deal with. The house was in great shape and accommodated our large group beautifully. We hope to do it again!

  Lovely, comfortable house, exactly as depicted. David was very helpful with everything & made our stay very easy. It's a wonderful place to stay in January, the quiet beauty of the beach in winter is an under-appreciated experience. The fireplace was delightful, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the hot tub was just the thing. The showers will spoil you. Beds were very comfortable. If you're a light sleeper, be sure to bring earplugs, since the bedrooms are under the living area & the footfalls on the wood floor are hard to ignore early in the morning. Also, be forewarned if you come in the dark that the area on either side of the gravel driveway is NOT for driving (one of us had to get a tow out of the mud)! I would definitely come back again.

  My younger brother is stationed in Dover, so we wanted to find a place where our family (from several U.S. locations) could come together to visit him. This place was more than perfect....from size, to location, it couldn't be beat. One day, we wanted to make a day trip to New York City, and we did it! Driving back from the city--exhausted--we had a great relief knowing that we were returning to this wonderful house. The sunrise from the upper level deck was amazing, it was worth getting up early almost every day. My daughter, who is seven, was the only child there. I was worried about her being bored, but I was so wrong. She enjoyed searching for the "treasure", counting the boats and lighthouses throughout the house, flying a kite, watching movies and fishing. Thank you so much for this house! I wouldn't hesitate for a second recommending this house to anyone.

  Thank you so much for letting us rent your beautiful home. We were able to spend quality time with family and close dear friends of ours. The house and bay views were gorgeous! Life just seems to be so busy and chaotic these days that we seem to neglect the important things in life. Having the opportunity to rent your home allowed us to sit back relax, laugh, and enjoy life. The stay sadly only lasted a week but the memories will last a lifetime. We thank you and your family for this great vacation!

  We had an amazing time at the house. Everything was as promised. dave was wonderful to work with. We had special circumstances and dave worked with us and made our time here that much eaiser. the beds were very comfortable. The veiw was breathtaking. The kitchen was great and we could all sit comfortably at the table. The hot tub was great as was the jacuzzi. We reted this property as a christmas gift for my grandparents and they loved it! We had a great time walking the beach and finding tons of shells and even a turtle. We were there when there was a big storm and we were flooded. All we could see was water and dave was great and told us what to do. Thew neighbors were very helpful also. I can't say enough wonderful things about the house and the area. We had a ball shopping in rehoboth and touring lewes.But the best thing was when my grandfather said he did'nt think he would ever get to walk on the beach again and he did. That was the best thing that could have happened and thanks so much for helping us make it happen to dave.
