Slaughter Beach, Delaware
Welcome to our Summer House. We are in the quaint water front community of Slaughter Beach; located at the south side of the Delaware Bay. Our hope is that you will make wonderful, lasting family memories as we have done over the years. Come and enjoy the lazy days of times past with the backdrop of beautiful, color filled sunrises and quiet sun drenched evenings. The water’s edge is only 70 feet from our cottage and the gentle waves are perfect for children and grandparents alike.
From our living room savor the 180 degree view of the vast Delaware Bay. The summer house is fully furnished; complete with two bedrooms including queen size beds, one queen size pullout sofa, two full bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and outside shower. If you want more adventure bring along your kayak. During high tide enjoy swimming and fishing from the shore. During low tide wander the flats, exploring all the bay has to offer up close.
The recently renovated Cedar Creek Marina is only 5 minutes away. Here you will find beautiful boat ramps, easy on/off boat launch spaces and parking to accommodate large trucks and trailers. Spend the day or week boating on the bay, sunbathing, fishing or both. There is a small, one time fee for boating on the bay and may be purchased at Cedar Creek Marina.

Such a quiet neighborhood and beach. Very relaxing. The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked for all cooking needs. We will rebook again.
This is our second stay at this property and it was as perfect as the first time. Unfortunately our stay was cut short by unforeseen events, but the place is just so cozy and inviting.
This is our favorite place to stay. Love the house, beach and the owners that are very attentive to your needs. We like the privacy of the area.
This was a great place to spend a quiet, relaxing vacation at the beach! The house was clean with a great view!
Best vacation in years! Just steps to the beach and oh so quiet!! Many restaurant choices just a short drive away. This slice of beach is a hidden gem. The cottage was PERFECT! Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and very nice living space. We even saved a few horseshoe crabs. Can’t wait to go back!
We just returned home from our stay and already want to go back. The house is amazing and perfect for rest, relaxing, and reading. Jennifer is a responsive host who has thought of everything. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
Nice clean, every as expected... hand soap was lacking, but thats not a huge deal.
Prior to this, my wife and I always made Slaughter Beach a side trip from Rehoboth to scout for fossils and kayak. This time we stayed four days and loved every minute! It is such a quiet and peaceful place and the house is perfect for reading, relaxing, and wandering onto the beach whenever you want. Great food and entertainment are only 25 minutes away in Lewes and Rehoboth, but you don’t have to fight traffic or deal with rowdy crowds. We never wanted to leave. The best alarm clock in the world is the sunrise shining over the bay and peeping in the back windows of the house.
The house was just perfect. Clean, beautiful view of the water. And the location, far from the madding crowd was just what the doctor ordered! Thank you, Jennifer!
This property was so perfect for what we needed!! Beautiful little cottage right on the water. Brought my daughter down to attend the 2022 Firefly Festival in Dover. I attended some of the festival, too, but also had downtime here at this “breath of fresh air” beach escape. Exactly what I wanted - to be able to sit and drink my coffee and look at the water. And the owner was very sweet, responsive, easy to contact. Thank you for a great stay!!
Steps to the bay. Views from the living room. Extremely clean. Quiet community. Just about perfect.
From booking to check out, Jennifer was there to help with everything in between. The house and property are beautiful, well kept and accommodating, this is the perfect relaxing get away for a family or group of friends. Slaughter beach is the perfect spot for a quiet vacation in a beautiful home, close to everything Delaware had to offer.
We loved being right on the beach! Perfect for coming in and out for napping babe and a more active toddler. Lots to explore on the beach and beautiful views from the house. Walmart delivery made the stay very easy!
This was a truly magnificent home I would have given it more stars if I could beautiful layout and decor extremely will equipped kitchen the sunroom had a beautiful view quit area just what we needed Jennifer was easy to work with I would stay again
This is the cutest house perfect for two couples. We love staying here for the peaceful beach, great neighbors and cleanliness of the property.
My family and I had a great experience staying at The Summer House. The cottage was adorable - clean and well maintained.
The property manager was excellent, the beach house was beautiful and had everything a family would need to enjoy their visit. The views off the beach were beautiful. I would recommend this beach house. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
This was our second visit to the The Summer House and it did not disappoint. We had a terrific time and made incredible memories. The home was beautiful and the new front porch entrance was an awesome addition! We enjoyed hot days on the beach fishing and soaking up the sun. And the evening campfires on the beach can't be beat. Loved the solitude of the area. Jennifer was very easy to communicate with and we appreciated her opening up her home to us.
Nice minimalist design. No stairs and very close to beach. Very good house and beach for young kids!
We loved our stay here! The house was spotless when we arrived, the living room is full of sunlight and the path to the beach is right out the back door. The outdoor shower was a highlight for some in our group as well. We came for the horseshoe crabs and were very happy with how many we got to see and how easy it was to get to the beach. The only downside was the black flies, but we learned to read the neighbor's wind sock and figured out when it would be safe to sit outside. During buggy times we were happy to sit inside the gorgeous house with the windows open so we could still hear the shore birds and take in the magnificent views. The DuPont nature center was a wonderful resource to ask all of our horseshoe crab and other bay creature questions, nice that it was so close. I hope we get to return!
House was perfect
