    Quiet area close to the beach. Perfect for families with small children. On the bay so waves are not as big, perfect for the kids wanting to be in the water. House was clean with everything needed to make quick meals . Friendly neighbors

    We had a great stay at this property while visiting family over the 4th of July. The property was very well kept and offered great amenities.

    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.

    I enjoy quiet walks on the beach collecting sea glass. Beautiful sunsets in the back yard overlooking the marsh. I enjoyed visiting the wildlife refuge parks. I wish I had more time.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
