Perched on the top floor, "The Sunsetter" offers completely unobstructed bay views — nothing between you and the Delaware Bay sunsets. This bright, open-concept home sleeps up to 9 guests plus an infant, making it ideal for families or groups who want room to spread out, with a private beach just steps from your door.Because we're the upper unit with nothing above us, your views are open and panoramic — straight out over the bay, with some of the best sunsets on the shore right from your private deck. The fully equipped kitchen flows into a comfortable living room with a 55" smart TV and a variety of board and card games for movie or game night.The outdoor space is the heart of this home: a large deck with six Adirondack chairs and a six-person picnic table, perfect for taking in the sunset after a day on the beach. A quiet stretch of Reeds Beach sits just steps from the front door — cast a line right from the sand for Striper, Flounder, and Weakfish. Surrounded by an expansive nature preserve, the area is a haven for wildlife: watch for dolphins, migratory birds, diamondback terrapins, and horseshoe crabs throughout the season.Sleeping arrangements (sleeps up to 9 + 1 infant):
Bedroom 1 — Queen bed, 55" smart TV (sleeps 2)

Other things to note:
This listing is for the 2nd floor of our duplex. If you need space for a larger group, we also rent the entire home — see our listing "Large Bayfront Home Perfect for Multiple Families."
Our home is over 130 years old, full of the character and charm that comes with a historic bay house. We've thoughtfully updated it for comfort, but like any home of its age, it has a few endearing quirks from time to time — all part of the experience of staying somewhere with real history.
Because we're nestled in a protected nature preserve, you'll occasionally encounter insects — it comes with being this close to unspoiled nature. We keep up a monthly professional pest-control service and provide insect-deterrent candles and devices, but some bugs are simply unavoidable in such a setting, so we recommend bringing bug spray for outdoor evenings.
The on-site fishing pier is not available with this unit, but you can fish right from the beach just steps from the home — Striper, Flounder, and Weakfish are common catches from the sand.The beach next to the property has seasonally restricted access from May 7 to June 7 for the horseshoe crab mating season — an incredible sight to witness from the decks.
