We had a group of 11 people stay in this spacious 5 bedroom home. The whole home is equipped with what you'll need to have a great week. There are bikes galore and plenty of beach chairs. The indoor and outdoor space provide opportunities to be together and separate as you like. The community pool, playground, and workout room are a short bike ride or walk away. Thanks for a wonderful week of memories for our family.

The property was spacious and had everything we needed for our group. It was a quick drive from Harris Teeter and Food Lion. Colleen and Kelly were responsive. That being said, we did have some concerns regarding the conditions of the home. Some were addressed but unfortunately, most weren’t. I do appreciate the prompt replies and the home is nice.

This property was just as it advertised. My family & I enjoyed it so much and all the amenities and the host provided beach equipment and also bikes for adults and kids to ride. There were also tennis rackets and balls to be used at the court. The house was very spacious. And there was a playroom with toys already there. The kids loved that. They spent a lot of time there. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. We hope we can stay again sometime. The host was very helpful with everything.

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.

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 home was perfect for our family of 10. Located in a quiet community but still close to attractions. The pool area was exceptional. The host was very easy to work with. Everything you need in the kitchen. I especially liked the sunroom.
