Excellent vacation

The house was comfy and had lots of space for our two families and 5 kids. It was close to the beach, ice cream and all the things we wanted to do. It also had an outdoor shower so we could rinse off the sand before entering. The property manager quickly answered some questions we had. Overall a wonderful house to relax in.

The neighborhood was excellent. Swimming pools were well kept. A couple were very crowded with kids but the one closest to our house was not crowded and never any issues. Convenience to groceries, beverages, and food places was very nice. My daughter and her boyfriend actually hooked up with a realtor to see a couple houses in the neighborhood that were for sale. Golf courses were nice as well.

Delaware beaches

We had a great stay at this very comfortable property. The pool was just a short distance away and very large, The area is quiet with views of the ponds and wading birds from the back yard. The owner was very responsive when we had questions. Great location, close to many restaurants, groceries, and the beaches.

This is our fourth year staying at this property and each year we have the best vacation. This property accommodates our large family comfortably. Our children love riding bikes, swimming, and playing basketball within the community. The location is perfect and within great distances from many beaches. Can’t wait for next year!

The property was in good shape and the kitchen well stocked. The rooms were clean when we arrived. The only thing that was not cleaned was the grill outside, which my son cleaned it before we used it. We appreciated the bicycles, but you could use a smaller bike for our one younger grandchild, who was just a little small for the regular size bike. He was disappointed that he could not ride with us. The beach chairs were great! The people in the neighborhood were very friendly and waved to us as we walked and traveled about. The Community pool was also very clean and not crazy busy the days we visited the facility. Overall a very good experience at your home. Thank you for allowing us to rent to spend our family vacation there.PS I wanted to nmention that the toilet in the first floor bedroom sometimes would stick and keep running. I went in several times and had to jiggle the handle and then it would stop running. So it appears something was sticking when the toilet was flushed.

This is the 2nd year staying in this amazing house. It is perfect in every way. The garage has an extra refrigerator, 14 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, numerous bikes, strollers, fishing rods and beach toys. The new Blackstone grill, the outdoor shower, the deck with lots of outdoor seating was great. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. With 5 bedrooms, it fit our 15 person family perfectly. We didn't even need to use the queen sleeper in the sunroom! The office with a printer came in handy. The Refuge neighborhood has a wonderful playground, huge pool/ baby pool, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. We went crabbing from the little neighborhood pier and caught 27 crabs in less than an hour, and we fished, too. The Refuge is a 2 minute drive to Walgreens and Food Lion and is only a few miles from the Fenwick Beaches and the Freeman Center. Everything in the house is in perfect running order. We've stayed in many rentals over the years, but this house is truly "The Perfect House."
The pool had beautiful flowers in containers, lots of tables with umbrellas and lounge chairs. It is open 10-8
We put the 27 crabs we caught in less than a hour in the bike basket.
The kitchen table seats 8, the sunroom table seats 4, and there is a picnic table and table with umbrella and multiple chairs on the deck.
