We enjoyed staying in this peaceful community. The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed the beaches and local restaurants. The rented kayaks provided extra entertainment at the house. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay, my husband and I kayak off the side of the dock, rod our bikes around the neighborhood. We went to Cape Henlopen State Park which was 20 minutes away rod bikes and Beach enjoyed dinner at Long Neck Dinner.
Went to Delaware to visit family, and rented this property due to its location. We were minutes from Rehoboth Beach and boardwalk, and from everything you could possibly need or want! The property was clean and well-equipped, although there was an unpleasant smell in the master bedroom, which is why the 4 stars for cleanliness. Also, I really had no need to communicate with host during our stay. Checking in and out could not have been easier! We loved the crabbing dock just a short walk from the back! We had a great time here and would definitely return.
My husband dog and I really enjoyed the stay . We were able to launch our kayaks from the pier which was very convenient and we bought our bikes. And our favorite place to eat was the long neck dinner meals were very good and affordable. We will definitely visit again 😊
Have vacationed in Rehoboth for over 20 years and this was my first stay a bit away from the beach. It was perfect. Right on the water within minutes from all the action. With all the calm of a gated community full of amenities. My family loved it and we will return soon.
The best feature of this house is definitely the view from the back deck overlooking the water. The kids had a great time catching crabs at the dock within view and the community pool was greatly enjoyed.
It was lovely to wake up and look out the window at the sun glinting on the ripples of the water. It's a cozy little place that would be even better during a warm weather stay.
Very comfortable house in a quiet gated community and beautiful water view. Only 5 miles from the beach so it is very convenient. We had a very relaxing week!
This house was perfect for an adult weekend getaway. We took our 12 year old golden retriever to see the beach nearby. It was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back!
Very very nice. Just the right size - area is lovely, quiet and neighbors are friendly. Lovely setting, beautiful outdoors. I would definitely stay again!
Property was exactly what we were looking for, very nice, quiet community with all the amenities and easy launch for our kayaks. Our dog loved the trails through the community. Melissa was a fantastic hostess and quickly responded to any questions we had. Would love to stay there again. We were sad to leave!
Came down to search for property to move down here. Be at location to everything, stores, water. Love the dock. You should stay if you are thinking about it.
The house was nice. The property was smaller than we thought it would be, but there was a nice view of the bay. The kids wished there were TV's in the bedrooms.

Excellent Getaway
Great little place on the bay! Had all the basics, and was cozy for our group (3 couples, an infant, and our pups). 20 minutes to the beach, 15 minutes to great outlets, adorable brunch places, and local shops. Perfect for a last minute booking for a long weekend with old friends. Host was very responsive while booking. Thanks for a great start!

The property was nice and clean. Beautiful view of the inlet. Thank you very much! Within Driving distance to everything. We may be back next year! God Bless!
We loved this place. Great location, outstanding, beautiful view from the deck. Quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we needed and more. Master bed was very comfortable. Newly remodeled, nice appointments. Good communication with owner. We would like to come back sometime. Thank you
This past trip marks our 4th stay at this property! It is always amazing! The cleaning crew does an amazing job and the house is always spotless on arrival. I have noticed that there are always somw changes and upgrades made to the home and property over the years. It is cozy yet spacious enough for myself,spouse, our 3 kids, and dog! The neighborhood is wonderful; we love riding our bikes to the community pool and playground. The back deck is my absolute favorite spot as it overlooks the canal and dock- sitting out there with a morning cup of coffee is blissful! We hope to continue to rent this amazing place for future vacations!

About the host
Hosted by Melissa Davey
Hi everyone! My name is Melissa. My co-owner Heather and I are excited to own this great house on the water! Both Heather and I were born and raised in the tri-state area. In my other life, I'm a real estate agent in the ND/DC/VA area. Heather has a fascinating history in Vet Physical Therapy and drumming.
Why they chose this property
Heather and I found this house and fell in love with the tranquil waterfront, all while close to beaches and surrounding beauty. Being steps away from the water, Heather and I love kayaking and paddle boarding and recognized this as an ideal place to launch our gear. We saw a lot of potential in the house and are actively trying to modernize the property for everyone's stay.
What makes this property unique
Kayaks and paddleboards can be launched down at the other end of the community.
