On Red Mill Pond (a 178 acre, Delaware's largest fresh water body) 6 miles from Lewes, Delaware and the beaches

Close to movie theaters and outlet shopping and all the beaches have to offer.

Please read complete description and look closely at photos as house is sort of quirky and may pose a challenge for elderly dogs and elderly and young people.

4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms. Family room with kitchenette
Easily sleeps 8 people.

Renovated,, fully stocked gourmet kitchen, two story living room and dining room opening to a large deck overlooking the lake. Two story stone fireplace.

Dock with kayaks and canoe available for use. Large private yard fully fenced.

First floor. 2 bedrooms ( Queen, two twin beds), full bathroom (6' soaker tub + shower) and family room with kitchenette.
Second floor. 1 bedroom (two twin beds), full bathroom (6' soaking tub and shower), Kitchen, Living room, dining room.
Third floor. loft bedroom with full bath (6' soaking tub) attached. (king bed)

Spiral staircases from first to second floor and from second to third floor. (outside stairs available from first floor to second floor.) Second floor is primary living area.

Please note that the house is poorly set up for toddlers and very young children (under 6) and difficult to child proof

There is a $175 cleaning and linen fee.

This house and surroundings are a serene and quiet oasis. If you are a party of ten guys on golf outing, not for you. If you are 10 gals on a bachelorette excursion, not for you. It is great for multi generational family gatherings where every one can have their own spaces and relax and enjoy all the local amenities, Then have the fishing and kayaking on a beautiful, peaceful 175 acre pond. A recent guest caught bass, catfish, white perch, yellow perch and blue gills.

Swimming in the pond is only feasible from kayaks away from dock area as shore is silty and mucky. Also, depending on rainfall and heat there can be a fair amount of algae near dock area.

    This is a lovely property, very quiet and feels secluded yet close to so many things - grocery stores, beaches, wineries, restaurants, breweries, nature preserves. The host was wonderful in their communication and very easy to work with. Our dogs loved the yard and we greatly appreciated the owners leaving fresh bowls of water for their arrival. This house had the most well-stocked kitchen of any Vrbo I’ve stayed in, with coffee pots, tea kettles, a beautiful stove, plenty of dishes and kitchenware. There were lots of board games, tons or books, kayaks, canoes and comfy beds and bedding. We enjoyed the quiet of the yard and the peacefulness of kayaking and canoeing on the pond. As they mention, there are spiral staircases jbut also a regular set of stairs outside leading to the second floor. This wasn’t a problem for our dogs. We stayed with our adult children and pets.

    If you’re looking to spend a vacation in serenity this is the place. It is filled with beautiful views, tons of books and amazing natural light. This home is very warm & inviting. The spiral staircase does take a little getting used to, but definitely adds to the charm. Every floor has a bathroom which is very convenient. The property has 2 kayaks & 2 canoe along with life vests and bikes. Property is fenced in and our doggos had a great time. The driveway can fit upto 3 cars but there are overgrown foliage which makes it a bit difficult to park. If there is anyone using a walker, plz note that the driveway is all gravel and might be difficult to walk on to the property. There are many things to enjoy arnd Milton. Most beaches & shopping is around with 5-7 miles. Bob is a wonderful host and very reachable with any questions or concerns.

    Wow! What a magical place. An adorable house with a water view and direct access. The owners have all of the things you would need to enjoy a week or more. The location is very close to the the states best biking park, Cape Henelopen and the Ferry in historic Lewes. Multiple bathrooms with showers on each floor. Extremely spacious house with room to stretch out and read a book with a cup of coffee. Multiple wrap around decks to peak through the trees at a pond about the size of a lake. There is a spiral stair case that you can quickly negotiate up and down floors but there is also a smartly built set of stairs on the side of the house for brining in luggage. Our dog was able to use the the enormous fenced in yard while my kids fished off the dock catching Blue Gills and 1 Channel Catfish. The owners left us fishing gear, bikes, beach gear, towels and virtually anything else you might need to enjoy Coastal Delaware. Just 20 minutes to Rehoboth and even closer to the outlets and tons of restaurants. We were also near several nice golf courses that my son and I played. Finally, there were amenities that just made your stay that much more modern. A washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, blender, central air throughout the house and Wifi. Our family thought Coastal Delaware was nice, but the house was a 10/10!

    We are in love with this property. Everything has been amazing so far. Bob has been wonderful with communication and so flexible when we had to cancel and reschedule. It is so peaceful here. The beds are comfortable. The weather is perfect. We felt immediately at home when we arrived. Cannot praise enough! Will definitely come back!! :)

    Calming, beautiful retreat on the Red Mill Pond. Had everything we could need or want, including a set of canoes and kayaks. My husband and dogs loved every minute.

    What a great house in a peaceful spot on the lake. East access to the beaches and plenty to do around the house. Brilliant space to spend time with the family and Bob was super helpful throughout.

    We had such a wonderful time at this lakefront Delaware rental. The house and property is gorgeous! Family caught lots of fish in the pond and a short trip to the beaches. Perfect!

    Lovely and interesting home that mixes lake access and a short drive to ocean and bay beaches. The nearby towns of Lewes and Rehoboth are full of activities, but staying at this property with its wild gardens and green space provides a quiet home base.
