nice stay

The Captain's Cottage was the perfect place for our visit to Delaware. We were a quick drive to events at the Woodlands at Dover Speedway, and less than an hour away from Rehoboth Beach, which is highly recommended. Bowers beach in town was also great, clean, and never busy. The property was very clean, fully equipped, and in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Check in was simple, communicating w/ host was easy and host was quick to respond. Host left details and helpful info about the home, area, food and shopping etc. which was appreciated. We hope to stay here again in the future!

Quiet cottage near the sea!

We had 8 family members staying here, all in town for my son's wedding. We loved the bikes, fire pit, and rocking chairs! The little beach down the road was never crowded. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing week with family.

A great experience!

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was clean and the decor was tasteful and inviting. The kitchen was well equipped to support meal prep and bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The property owners were available and responsive. We loved accessing the beach and enjoyed the availability of bikes, especially the surrey! We hope to stay at this location next April for an extended stay!
