Fenwick is called the Quiet Resort. There are no loud outdoor parties, or raucous behavior. Fenwick's fine police insure that!
Relax in the soothing 6 person hot tub. Enjoy the tennis courts at 141st Street in Ocean City. Keep in shape while on vacation – work out at the two gyms that are within a 10 minute car ride. Take a ½ day fishing outing for six with drinks and food. Arrange an eco-kayak tour in salt pond or bay only 1/2 mile away.
Tucked along the southern border of the state, just alongside Ocean City, MD, the town of Fenwick Island is the Delaware beach destination that has everything a family needs. To the north, Fenwick Island State Park offers limitless opportunities for sunbathing, fishing, windsurfing and more. In town, there are endless opportunities for kids' fun, whether it's a round of putt-putt, a go-kart ride, or some delightfully wet waterslide fun at Viking Golf Amusements and Thunder Lagoon Water Park.
Nearby Fenwick Island State Park is a great spot for surf fishing, windsurfing and other outdoor activities. In town, the proximity of many beach homes to the bay make it an ideal spot for those who love to bring their boats and spend their days on the water.
As many moms and dads will attest, Delaware’s beaches are just the spot to keep the kids affordably entertained and happily occupied -- whether its a full day of soaking-wet entertainment at a waterpark, or taken on a side trip for a chilly ice cream cone and some salt-water taffy.
There is a live outdoor Theater, Freeman Stage, for concerts, musicals and plays-and children acting classes

About: Mary is my rental manager for the last 10 years, and I, Ralph Picard, am the owner. You will be working primarily with Mary. Growing up in Ohio, I first saw the ocean when in college. I immediately loved the energy and excitement that the ocean provided. I've discovered that here is tranquility in the air that is very easy to take in. That is one of the reasons all three of our homes have pools. I have built, rented and sold 9 beach vacation rental homes since 1985, my first one an ocean front home in Bethany Beach. Before building I talked to many realtors and asked what it takes to comfortably support large groups of family and or friends. Here are the key features of the homes that comfortably support large groups in our three best in class vacation homes: • Cooking for the Gang: The kitchens are fully equipped chef's kitchens and spacious. There are 2 BBQs, 2 sinks and 3 refrigerators. • A Room Of Their Own: Plenty of sleeping spots and bathrooms. Yes, the homes can hold three families and have 3 or 4 Masters. • The Plus of Privacy: These vacation rental homes have dens and many porches away from the great room/kitchen/dining room for different ages and activities to hang. • Plenty Of Activities: The rental houses have private heated swimming pools, hot tubs (relax at night in star light with a beer) and many TVs and Wi-Fi. • Room to Spare: The vacation homes are 3600 to 4200 square feet. • Off to the beach: There are beach caddies to haul your beach "stuff." And two of the homes are only a one-minute walk to the beach. • Plenty Of Outdoor Activity: In a 10 minute walk or less there over 25 restaurants, and coffee shops, hoagie shops, a multiplex movie theater, bike rentals, 3 mini golf courses, a water slide, a go cart track, and many shops. And in a 10 minute drive there are another 30 restaurants, many shops, and a boardwalk and amusement park.
Why Fenwick Island, DE, USA:
Private Heated Pool, large hot tub, 6 bikes, paddle boards, Kayaks, a canoe - and a private dock--
From our private dock you can launch your flotilla and travel across the bay and have lunch at one of 4 restaurants-only 15 minutes paddling away. From the pool and hot tub you have an unfettered view of the bay.
Maybe most of all the home is just 300 yds to the ocean, and our beach is amazingly uncrowded unlike most resort beaches. (please see the photos in the slide show of Bethany Beach vs Fenwick beaches on the busiest day of 2015.)
It has WIFI, many restaurants, coffee shops, go cart track, water slide, movie theater, Fishers popcorn, and many restaurants and stores within walking distance. You can take guided local tours in kayaks, and there great biking in the area. Plus there is an amusement park a few miles away as well as two boardwalks. Private pool, hot tub, 5 bikes, WIFI, only close to the beach, many restaurants, coffee shops, stores within walking distance, local tours in kayaks, and great biking in the area. And an amusement park a few miles away as well as two boardwalks.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
I love the access to the pool and hot tub from the three different spots and the wet bar just inside the home from the pool. Also the open living area on the top floor supports great conversations and connecting and playing as a family or group of friends. The pool deck and the large bay view front deck support all of your gang hanging out and eating there while you look out over the bay.
You can launch the 4 paddle boards, 3 kayaks, and 1 canoe into the bay quickly and easily from our private dock. In 20 minutes you can kayak and canoe (and if you are good also paddle board) to lunch across the bay. The bay is very shallow often only 2 feet deep.
Also the open living area on the top floor supports great conversations and connecting and playing as a family or group of friends. One of my favorite spots is BBQ'ing on the deck off of the kitchen and watching sunsets.
An important design feature of the home is that the floor layout offers multiple areas for guests to gather. The kids can be on the pool deck and pool with raised voices, the grandparents on the second story rear deck reading, one group on the front deck playing cards, another in the great room watching a game, two folks sitting in the computer nook researching dinner plans, a couple sitting on the dock dangling their toes in the bay, and six others on the side porch talking about the meaning of life.
Last, what is rare in most beach resort towns is that Fenwick Island is named the Quiet Resort because it is. No raucous behavior on the beach, or the town. There is plenty to do, but as the photos on this site show the beach is totally not crowded. Parking restrictions keep the number of people on the beach to a small number.
