Home near the ocean with pool access & washer/dryer

The property is in the perfect location for staying with kids given it's close proximity to the beach and all the fun in town. The house itself provided ample space to spread out and be comfortable.

I'm conflicted about my rating. The location was superb - half a block from the beach and boardwalk. The access to the next door hotel's pool was perfect. Even the living room and dining room were nice. BUT the bathroom on the ground floor, next to the king bedroom was really icky. The toilet was at a child-sized height and the toilet seat was white painted WOOD, with chips in it. I don't have to tell you what that looked like. The one piece shower enclosure was poorly installed. If you pushed against the wall, the whole shower enclosure moved. And the shower head was loose from the wall. In other words, it was not securely installed. There were ants in that king bedroom, not many, but still gross in that bathroom and the vanities in every bathroom were tiny.The space was good in all the bedrooms and bathrooms, but they were very bare bones. We had to bring in chairs from the dining room to use as a night table and suitcase stand. The television in the king bedroom was completely cracked and obviously nonfunctional. They did offer to come look at it, but we were only there for 5 days, so we didn’t want to bother.Also they were very responsive when one number in the hugely long security code malfunctioned. They made a shorter code, which did not include that number, which was helpful.Other shortcomings – a towel rack in an upstairs bathroom fell off the wall and the upstairs toilets did not flush efficiently.It’s a shame, because it could have been a really lovely house.

Close proximity to the boardwalk and beach.Parking for 4 vehicles. Nice extra space with large sunroom.

We have stayed at the Atlantic House a number of times over the years. With young grandkids you can’t beat the location - steps to the beach every morning, walks on the boardwalk everyday and close to great dining for adults and entertainment for the little ones!

Very outdated and poorly maintained property.

Great location. Lots of room in home. TVs were great in all rooms. Holm was in need of maintenance but did not dis our trip. It could use better linens and towel.

PROS: Fantastic location! Very convenient. Easy parking and great house layout for accommodating large family with teenage children (5 kids were with us). Large dining room table was great for meals. Screened in porch is really nice for relaxing. Beds are very comfortable. Temperature in bedrooms upstairs was very cool which was appreciated on hot days. Access to hotel pool was a plus. CONS: House definitely has wear and tear and could use some paint touch ups and a deep clean. Bedroom furniture old. Bathrooms are small and outdated. Kitchen is outdated and could use more cooking supplies, utensils and cleaning supplies. Had to buy dish towels. One of the burners did not work. Light in fridge intermittently worked. One of the cabinets was broken off hinge. Nice week in a great location despite the house being outdated and requiring some maintenance. The guest service was very responsive and accommodating too!

Location can't be beat and we got the house at a low daily rate. There are some areas of improvement needed but generally speaking, the house was clean and comfortable to stay at.

Great great location

We specifically enjoyed the pool access since we had a 1 year old with us who wasn't quite ready for the beach. The front porch was a nice gathering place, especially in the morning when you could open the sliders and hear the ocean. Easy walk to the boardwalk, so no driving required during our stay.

We had a great experience at this rental house! We want to come back for sure. There were 8 of us and it was very comfortable. The location was perfect. You can see the ocean from the porch and watch the sunrise with your morning coffee. It is a very short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. We also walked to the state park (Henlopen) from the house which we highly recommend. (The beach there is gorgeous and there are biking/walking trails, disk golf course… ) The house is very simply furnished so there is plenty of room for suitcases and personal items. Since the porch is surrounded by glass it really cuts down on noise from outside. There are screened areas too, though, if you want to allow a breeze. This was our favorite spot and it feels more private than it appears in the pictures. The dining table is very big and new and worked well for meals and games. We did utilize the hotel pool which is nice and Kiwi Kove serves food and drinks poolside. We had no issues with the house or any staff we spoke to. It was perfect for our family.

Could not get into property. Most of the doors did not open & shut properly. Had disinfectant smell on arrival. Main Tv did not work. Customer service provided no answers

Very close to the beach at a great price. Spacious, and lots of lounging space. Beds are comfy. Clean. Bathrooms are a bit outdated with showers needing a bit more oomph and ease of use.
