My guests say it BEST!
I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time at your home this past week. We caught 14 large crabs (we threw back twice that amount) and had a wonderful and relaxing time. Your place is really a perfect blend of beach and comforts of home. I think being on the canal affords many more opportunities for recreation than beachfront. Thanks again
You thought of everything!!

About Joni Watt
A place where the sun and the sand and the sea meet. My dream was to live within earshot of the waves and watch my children play and grow up in this special place. I have wonderful memories of my family catching crabs on the dock, kayaking on the canal just below our outside screened living room and playing in the surf of North Shores. The Historic twin WWII gunnery towers and Cape Henlopen are a short stroll up the Beach. Now it is time for me to share this special place with others. Come to Sea Glass and experience my kind of peace and quiet!

Joni Watt purchased this House in 1993
Why Joni Watt chose Henlopen Acres
There is a history here..a lovely home was on this site when I bought the house. I fell in love with the location just north of the Boardwalk and just south of the wilderness of Gordon's Pond, the Cape Henlopen and the Historic Towers. Wide uninhabited stretches of beach, a wildlife preserve and miles of natural waterways sold me on this special place. By September my family finally stayed in our 'NEW' house at the beach! Shortly after we explored the house..my son became sick. We found out later he was allergic to the house. It took just a few weeks to decide what to do. I met with several contractors who just told me to demolish the house..I had no part of that and contacted a HOUSE MOVING company. In the end the house was donated to create Delaware's first Habitat for Humanity... the house was to became a home for someone else and we broke 'Sand' for a new house in December ...by the next May..we welcomed our first guests to our new home. Just in time for the Summer!!
What makes this House unique
A unique benefit of a stay at Sea Glass..is the sense of being so removed from the world. You can get lost watching the harbor and the heron from your bedroom or the porch, enjoy the towering pine lined streets. You can spend time walking or biking the trials to the highest vista on the Atlantic between Hattaras and Cape Cod. Enjoy picking up shells and bird watching or wading in the water. The North Shores have been the subject of gifted photographer Kevin Flemming for years. You can walk the historic beaches dawn to sunset with unobstructed views seldom seen on the coast.You can stargaze on our beach! Perfect setting for your friends & family vacation. Solitude is tough to find in a resort community..you will find it here! Rehoboth is a Jewel of the Atlantic. A few hours from 3 majoyr cities..the quaint cottages, stately Beach homes new and old, wonderful resturants, concerts , community activities and shopping are set against the backdrop if gardens and tree lined streets of this retreat community. It is unlike any coastal town in the entire North Atlantic. In the off season it isn't uncommon to see a rare albino deer walking down the road to the beach! For just a day here will change your outlook.. Nature's gift of Peace and Quiet..except for those beautiful waves crashing on the beach. Last summer's first guests said it best... I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time at your home this past week. We caught 14 large crabs (we threw back twice that amount) and had a wonderful and relaxing time. Your place is really a perfect blend of beach and comforts of home. I think being on the canal affords many more opportunities for recreation than beachfront. Thanks again for the use of Sea Glass.

One of the Best Vacations our family ever had! Something for everyone!
3 generations of cousins and friends bonded at the Sea Glass ...plenty to do. we swam, fished, crabbed, kayaked and biked directly out the door. The salt water pool is delicious! The kids never got enough of the dock and catching crabs. I was able to watch the activities from the screened porch with the older members of our family. My Mother got a lift from the life guards right to the beach chairs & umbrella waiting for us on the beach - better than some 5 Star hotel! Everyone enjoyed the space this comfortable house gave each of us... we sat and talked like never before. You can't go wrong with this home..the owner thought of everything....including 3 large refrigerators!
It's all about the LOCATION! North Shores: Something for EVERYONE
Our extended family of 16 just returned from a marvelous vacation week at the Canal Home SeaGlass. This was home base for daily activities that included something for everyone! We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise from the screened in porch or dock and before breakfast biking on the Henlopen State Park bike path. Then it was back to SeaGlass for meals prepared in a well appointed, beautiful granite kitchen where our five grandkids loved sitting on the counter barstools. The extra large table would seat twelve adults. The open floor plan has high ceilings. The late morning and afternoons were spent fishing and crabbing right off the dock, swimming in the large community pool , at the private beach (both a short walk) or swimming in the property's private heated salt water pool. Nearby Rehoboth is for foodies! Many fine eateries to choose from. One of our excursions included a tour of the DogFish Head Brewery, just a short drive away. The tour and tasting room were FREE. Nearby Rehoboth Boardwalk provided evening activity. Or kayaking along the canal at sunset might be just what you'd enjoy. Like I said, something for everyone. The owner was a pleasure to work with. Her home comfortably accomodates a large group. The back porch (with wet bar) was where we spent most of our relaxing time, playing board games, being family, feeling the seabreeze, and listening to the birds! I highly recommend SeaGlass for your family vacation.
It is great to hear that your big family stayed so busy enjoying the features of my home and community... great memories for your family. It was a pleasure to share my home with you! Thank you for taking such good care of my home and the new crab pot which will be in use all summer!!
Please come back again!
Joan, Owner of the Sea Glass
Lovely home on the canal!
Beautiful home on the canal with water views, private saltwater pool, and dock. Also, we had the use of the community pool and private beach with reserved chairs and umbrella waiting for us on beach. The Sea Glass is located very close to the Henlopen State Park and the bike path. We loved spending mornings and evenings on the very relaxing, comfortable screened porch overlooking the canal. The home is nicely decorated with plenty of room for families. Plus, a cozy private Cabana suite on overlooking the canal . The home has an open kitchen with granite counter seating and a large great room with high ceilings for entertaining, or just hanging out. I would highly recommend this property!
Perfect for Family Gatherings
The property has many great features, including a large kitchen, a pool, close proximity to the beach (about a 10-15 minute walk) and, our family's favorite, a fantastic covered porch overlooking the canal, where we spent many hours conversing, reading and simply chilling. A large dining room table made it easy for all 12 of us to sit down at the table and dine together. There were a couple of minor issues when we arrived that the owner resolved quickly. We had a tremendous time and I certainly would recommend.
Brian, glad you gathered your family at the Sea Glass for your first VRBO vacation. The houses was designed the for the needs of my large family ...the table and the porch have hosted many great times for many generations. Nice to hear you continued the tradition. Thanks for your recommendation.....
"We had a tremendous time and I certainly would recommend. " Best, Joan
Simply Fabulous!
This beach house was such a treat for us! The layout is absolutely fabulous & it is beautifully decorated. There are many separate areas throughout the house & property where you can gather together (pool, screened porch, deck, large kitchen/dining room, living room, family room, etc.), or retreat for a quiet nap. We will definitely be returning next year!!!
Happy to host your family's vacation in 2016! It's nice to know your family enjoyed the many great spaces of the sea Glass. Glad you made use of the the beach, bike trails ,new kayaks and the pool. Thank you for taking such good care of my home. Please come back anytime!
Fondly, Joan
Spacious home with great location and amenities!
Our family of four generations stayed in this lovely home in 2015, 2016, and have already booked our stay for August 2017. The house is spacious and well laid out -- the 12 of us had plenty of space with room to spare. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and cleaning supplies we needed, plus, the gas grill outside meant delicious family meals all week long.
The private in-ground pool was perfect for our baby and elderly grandparents. Those wanting a larger pool have access to the community one with provided pool passes. The community center also has tennis courts with very reasonable rates, which we reserved on several occasions. And then there's the beach... Clean, spacious, and virtually private to the community. An umbrella and two chairs are included and setup for you each morning; the owner has more chairs available at the house and you have the option to reserve additional large umbrellas from the clubhouse.
There are plenty of homes in the area with beach access (some even private), but having the beach, private pool, and the canal out back was a real treat for us. The owner includes a few basic kayaks -- we rented our own for the week and had them delivered to the house. Our paddles through the canal into Rehoboth Bay were a great way to break up the day and soak in the views.
Overall, you can be as active as you choose here, but you won't get bored. Yes, it's definitely on the expensive side. For us, a large home that comfortably fits our entire family and offers so many different amenities is what has kept us coming back.
Location
North Shores is a family oriented community with a Yacht Basin & Harbor just off the Rehoboth-Lewes Canal. It is complete with fishing and crabbing piers, Kayaking & paddleboarding are very popular directly off our dock! A playground is also part of the family activities in the community. Less than a mile north of Rehoboth's famous Boardwalk. The amusement park rides are a good old fashion 60 cents! Experience the beach activities in Dewey Beach by hopping the Jolly Trolley for a family friendly ,inexpensive 'must do' excursion! BIKING is Big in North SHores.. we are the base of the new bike trail which leads to the Historic WWII barracks of Henning Point. It is an EZ trail to walk or bike for all family members. See the spectacular natural settings that have provided surfer, sun worshipers, photographers, birdwatchers and families with the best coastal experiences. So much FUN!! When looking for the best sites for sunsets..try the Dewey Beach area or an excursion by boat in the Heart of Lewes for a breathtaking cruise the whole family will enjoy.
