We had a wonderful time at this cottage! The home was extremely clean and is super close to a very beautiful beach. The property and the beach was very peaceful and relaxing, but still a close drive to the busier areas and beach towns if you’re looking for a day trip. It’s a keyless entry which is SO convenient for the beach, you don’t have to worry about losing your keys! We would definitely love to come back and we highly recommend this property.

Great Cottage and Amazing Host

We were in the area for a lacrosse tournament and decide to spend a few days at the beach. This cottage was everything we needed for our trip. Alex was always there to answer our questions and give suggestions of things to do in the area. If you want a nice quiet vacation this is your place.

Lacrosse Tournament

We were in Delaware for a lacrosse tournament in Frederica and this was a great option for our stay. I enjoyed running on the beach in the mornings and seeing the horseshoe crabs.

Perfect getaway

I needed a few days away from home and this was the great place for it. The beach was pretty easy to get to maybe 3 minute walk, and that's where I spent most of my time. There's no grocery shopping in the immediate area or any tourists, thank God, but then I was here in January. It was great and quiet and perfect thank you

very peaceful location

Very restful stay. We were a party of 5 (the max size for cottage) but it worked out fine. Before arriving I had concerns about putting someone in the enclosed porch area but it actually functioned as a nice private room for my son. The porch was a bit warm in the daytime since we happened to be there in a very hot week, but it cooled down at night. Kitchen is very nice, too.

Quiet and peaceful

If you are looking for a quiet vacation spot, this is it. I don’t know how it is in the summer but September was wonderful. Nice tree to sit under in the backyard with a sunset view of the marsh. Walk across the street to see the sunrise on the beach. Nice location in this small community. The cottage is cozy and comfortable with a comfortable sofa and bed, nice artwork, sunroom, and a great place to relax. I will return!

Cute cottage by the beach

We had a great time at the cozy little blue cottage by the bay. The cottage was the perfect size for the three of us. My husband and I slept in the bedroom while our adult son slept on the couch. The kitchen is well stocked with the basics. There were 2 beach chairs and some umbrellas for the beach which is a quick walk from the cottage. The town is 20 minutes away with all your needs. And it's just 30 minutes to the Delaware Beaches with the touristy areas. If you are looking for some place to relax off the beaten path, this is the place. Very quiet. Just make sure to bring big spray as there are mosquitoes because of the marsh lands.

Clean and Tidy and Quiet

We stayed here for a lacrosse tournament that was in Frederica. Place was just as advertised. The main bedroom can get a little warm it was a hot one. I misread about the washer and dryer. It would have been nice but understand I guess. They also left a nice not and a cool coffee mug.

Not as clean as I had hoped

We stayed 3 nights in the cottage. It is a very cute little place in a very quiet neighborhood. The neighbors that we saw were all very friendly. It wasn’t as clean as I would have liked it to be. There was hair in the shower before we even used it, cookie pieces in the couch and the backyard was not mowed and it was a jungle. We couldn’t use the yard at all because of it. We are outdoorsy people so this was very disappointing for us. The A/C in the bedroom was horrible too. It ran for the entire time we were there and was hot in there when we left. It was very uncomfortable to sleep. The futon was so hard and any of us who slept there (very little) had a sore back in the morning. Also, I couldn’t find the remote for the bedroom TV. My kids enjoyed Slaughter Beach. We always parked at the firehall at the pavilion. It has a public restroom and a place to wash the sand off of you before getting in your car. The horseshoe crabs were neat to look at, but stunk and attracted so many flies that bit you and that in itself made the beach miserable for my husband and I.
