About this property
Serene Waterfront Home In Fenwick Island - Steps To pool. Minutes To Beach.
I am very proud to announce our achievement of Premier Partner Status! As you will read in our reviews we are a true rental by owner...not some LLC or management company. You interact direct with the owner (me). This is our house, our mortgage and our effort that bring a great experience to our guests. Thank you to all our past and future guests for making this achievement possible! -Tom
Introduction Thank you for your interest in "Whats Up Dock". A 2 BR 1.5 bath townhome in the family friendly Mallard Lakes Community. Our home is clean, smoke free and child friendly. It receives fresh updates and has been professionally decorated. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway or a month's long retreat.
Location "Whats Up Dock" provides three necessary parts to anchor (pun intended) your vacation; location, space and comfort. The home is a part of the Mallard Lakes Community which is close enough to enjoy Fenwick Island, Ocean City, Rehoboth Beach, but far enough away from the craziness of “condo canyon”. The grounds and amenities are meticulously maintained year round. We provide the best rental location in Mallard Lakes, just steps to the main swimming pool, hot tub and tennis courts. The home is not buried deep in the community, easy in and easy out. There is a marina within walking distance with restaurants and shops. Easy traffic light entrance and exit eliminates turning headaches during the busy summer season.
Waterfront Sunroom Did someone say waterfront? Oh yes I did. The sunroom frames direct unobstructed views of the the dock amidst the sparkling sapphire lake while a diverse species of coastal wildlife put on a show for you. Complimentary adult and child binoculars are provided along with a local bird guide. When you are done prop up your feet and allow the fountain to lull you into that long overdue nap! The sunroom is also wired for music with Infinity speakers. Just sync your smart device with the bluetooth stereo receiver and stream away using our complimentary high speed wifi.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms The tastefully appointed waterview master suite features a king sized bed with an attached bathroom. Inside there are 2 large skylights that provide an abundance of natural light, a dual sink vanity and oversized soaking tub with upgraded shower hardware. The second bedroom contains a bunk bed with single mattresses and a full sized pillow top bed. Each bedroom is equipped with a wall mounted flat screen tv with expanded cable including HBO. The first floor offers a 2 piece powder room off the kitchen.
Kitchen In the kitchen you will find a breakfast bar with stools and all of the cooking conveniences you should expect; clean and current appliances, quality pots and pans, cooking utensils, grilling utensils, complete knife set, flatware and matching dish set. Wine, beer, margarita & tumbler glasses round out the glassware offerings. Children's plates, bowls, cups and utensils are also stocked.
Living Room Enjoy lake views from the living room as you relax on the sleeper sofa or lounge in the armchair and ottoman. Even in the summer you can enjoy the ambiance of the remote controlled heat-free fireplace. Enjoy your favorite shows and movies on the large flat screen tv with expanded cable including HBO. There is a ROKU installed with complimentary access to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Guests are welcome to view purchased videos in our Amazon library and may rent videos after requesting pin code from owner (cost will be retained from security deposit). Are you an audiophile? Let the premium Bose sound system fill the room with perfection after you sync your bluetooth device to the Sherwood stereo receiver (capable of sending music to living room, sunroom or both).
Dining Room The large dining room table accommodates 6 people. It provides plenty of space for family meals, puzzles and the occasional intense game of Monopoly that never ends well (you know what I’m talking about).

This was our 2nd time staying here and we loved it both times. The host is very responsive if yiu have questions and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly
Great location. Near the pool, tennis courts and right on one of the ponds. Short ride to the beach. Good amount of space for a family of 5. Mattress on the upper bunk could be more comfortable.
Everything from check in to check out was amazing! Straight forward host, easy to contact. Place was amazing, more than we needed at a great price in a beautiful neighborhood. Would highly recommend and for sure will be staying here again!
This vrbo was a great vrbo to stay in. It is in a great location and close to a bunch of things to do. Everything was as described a tad outdated but worked perfectly for us. The back screened in porch and view of the pond was peaceful and relaxing. The only complaint I would say is that the beds were not comfortable at all for us and make sure you bring sheets and towels as they are not provided. Thank you for having us.
Great condo, we'll decorated, and fit our needs perfectly.
Great condo to rent. Close to everything, yet quiet and off the busy road.

I'm so glad our home fit your needs and thank you for taking the time to let those considering us know what a gem Mallard Lakes is. As you said our location is the perfect combination for those looking for easy access to Fenwick/Ocean City Beaches and all it's surrounding activities yet are able to retreat to a family friendly waterfront home with great amenities. We greatly appreciate you treating the house as your own and would love to have you and your family as guests in the future.
stayed for a few days over spring break. place is nicely furnished and clean. very comfortable to cook in and just chill out. beds were comfortable. would definitely stay again!
I stayed here with my husband and two children, ages 5 and 6. We had a blast and loved the unit. The pool was wonderful, the unit was close to the beach and the home itself was clean and perfect for a family. We would love to come back next year!
What’s up dock was the perfect place for our quick family getaway. Great location close to all the action and yet in a great quiet community where my kids could run around freely. It had everything we needed for our little guy including a high chair and pack and play (that was super clean!). Would
Highly recommend for a small family or even a great adults only stay!

Thank you so much for the review!
We are putting our best effort forward providing our guests a clear picture of what to expect; including professional pictures, detailed description of every room, satellite overviews and even a collection of videos featuring the house, community and surrounding area.
Can't wait to have you back :-)
We had a lovely time and enjoyed the water views. Some things I would fix would be to add some safety mats or strips in the bottom of the tub to aid those older folks. Also, could use some freshening up of furnishings/carpet. Place was quiet and location good.
This was our second visit to this property. The home is very comfortable and owner is very attentive to your needs. The kitchen has all your needs for a dinner evening in. The pool is right there as well as tennis. Excellent for families. Quiet, inviting neighborhood.
Cute, Quaint, Clean, Accomodating, and Comfortable!!
It's super easy to feel at-home, soon after arriving and settling in. Fortunately the property pics in the listing tell the truth about the condo. It's just as scenic and inviting as promised. Quite hard to leave this roomy abode. My wife and I highly recommend it!

Thank you for the raving review and for taking advantage of our fall shoulder season rates! The good times don't end even though summer has. Autumn events such as parades, festivals, beach mazes, art shows, car shows, restaurant week, wine tastings and a craft beer festival (just to name a few) are in full swing. Not to mention the ocean water is still warm and there is plenty of beach time to be had. We can't wait to have you and your wife back :-)

Thank you so much for the kind words Katie! We are honored that you chose our house as your home base for the tournament. Keep us in mind for your next trip so you and your family can enjoy the amenities that are included with the rental at no extra fee. We accept reservations up to a year in advance.
My family of six had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental property. It was just enough room for all of us to spread out and relax. My kids enjoyed playing in the sun room and taking baths in the huge bath tub. There is a dock in the back where we went fishing and crabbing which was so much fun for my kids after a day at the pool or beach. We loved all of the amenities in the neighborhood and being able to walk to restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a very relaxing week. This is the perfect area for a layed back vacation. It's a peaceful and quiet place. The home was perfect for a family. The kitchen was well appointed and the dining room table and sun room table were perfect for board games and puzzles. The pictures are 100% accurate! Everyone we met was very friendly.
We were able to enjoy one of the pools and Ginny, the pool supervisor. was so friendly. We wished we had met her earler!
