This weekend was exactly what we needed! Everything was in walking distance- coffee, yummy food, beer and the beach. If we had brought our kayaks, we could have walked them to the boat launch as the bay is just a few paces from the house. The house is spacious and comfortable for 2. We didn't miss having a full kitchen for such a short stay and appreciated the toaster oven and coffee pot (BYO ground coffee). The only bummer was that there was no kitchen sink so all dishes had to be washed in the bathroom.
The location is really perfect for anyone who doesn't want to be sleeping in the middle of the beach scene but still wants access to it. We walked to the Board Walk which was about 1.5 miles from the house, mostly beach walking and some walking on the side of the road. Would have been quicker with bikes! In the evening when we wanted to return to the center for dinner, we easily found parking at the Convention Center. Parking is free before Memorial Day. We also visited Cape Henlopen State Park. Beautiful! If you arrive when the Seaside Nature Center opens (10AM) you can borrow one of their bikes for a donation and take a beautiful 3 mile ride around the park. Also, there are stunning beaches. We heard that they usually close by 11AM during the summer as they reach capacity. So, once again, we were thankful to be visiting off-season. This was a lovely rental in a great location! Thank you!
