This townhouse was perfect for our family of ten. The ocean block location allowed us to not only easily walk to the beach, but also other places such as nearby stores and restaurants. We appreciated the ample space for our family to be able to enjoy themselves.
Great rental unit just steps from the beach. We were surprised at how quiet and slow paced Fenwick Island was. We enjoyed having friends over for dinner and the house was perfect to fit us all in. Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful week at the beach.
We were a group of 8 adults who decided to go to Fenwick/OCMD last minute for a family weekend. So lucky to have found this place, as they allowed us to bring our pets and the location was terrific. The house was large enough for everyone to spread out and was so cozy - loved all the unique shore decor touches. The location to the beach was an added bonus, especially since we could take the dogs in the off-season - they loved it! Perfect weekend, perfect stay. Will do it again.
We had a great weeks vacation. Our family consisted of 7 adults and Gerti the dog. It was good to have our 3 sons, 2 daughter-in-laws and our grand dog all together. There was enough room for everyone. The side yard was perfect for Gerti. The stocked kitchen was very helpful for making big meals. We were a block from the beach!!! There was 3 mini golf courses and 3 ice cream stores within 2 blocks of the condo. It was a great location. It was helpful to have linens and towels provided. I did wash all the linens, towels and dishes before using them. I just wasn't sure how clean everything was. All of us had a great time and may do this again.
It was just what we needed! Close to the beach and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and activities. Loved being there during the off-peak season.
Spent a week at The Break with our 2 daughters, son-in-law, 2 granddaughters, and 2 dogs and had a wonderful time. The house was big enough that we didn't feel cramped at all. The house is full of personality, unlike many rental properties. There are books, movies, and games everywhere, a bobblehead collection in the 3rd floor Tiki Room, and a variety of interesting wall art including paddle boards. We kept discovering new treasures. There are containers with pretty annual flowers on many of the balconies. The stairs to the 2nd floor are open at the back, and our 55-pound dog wouldn't go up them. We had planned on him sleeping in our bedroom, but instead set up his crate in the living room. The first night he barked and woke others, so we turned on white noise for him and then he slept until we got him up. Those stairs were also a huge concern for our 4-year-old and 22-month-old granddaughters. The little one is fearless and loves to climb. So between the 5 of us adults we just always made sure someone was right beside her. To get to the 3rd floor Tiki Room you climb a tight spiral staircase which again is open. This staircase, dubbed the "crazy stairs" by our granddaughters, was hugely entertaining for them but a source of worry for the adults! The adjacent private, fenced, shaded yard was wonderful for our dogs. The short walk to the beach was great and enabled different members of the group to come and go as we wanted. We hadn't expected to be so close to a commercial area. The townhouse is adjacent to a lit store parking lot, and the master bedroom couldn't be darkened at night. There were a lot of windows in the living room and master bedroom which were nice for the view but didn't block outside noise very well. We used white noise in our bedroom and had no problem sleeping. The advantage of the location is that you can easily walk to shops (Vanderwende's ice cream!), a mini golf course and go-kart track, and water park. It was also a reasonable walk (6 blocks) to Matt's Fish Camp, a restaurant that we enjoyed greatly and which has limited parking. Another quirk of The Break is that all the kitchen cabinets are full of dishes, cups, pans - enough to feed large numbers of people! So any food that you bring that doesn't need refrigeration has to sit on the counter. Fortunately, there's a lot of counter space. We loved our stay..
There is a book where guests write stories about their stay. We read through it and thought it was funny someone mentioned one bad restaurant in the book. Oddly, we ended up ordering from that restaurant and they were so nasty we never finished the order. So the property has helpful hints about having a good time.
The house is open, clean and dry - which is really amazing if you have rented around the area. It can accommodate six adults with two dogs and everyone has plenty of space.
We had a great time and the beach is open, clean, and very near the house.
We loved this house! There were so many thoughtful amenities and the location is walking distance to everything. Great side yard for the furry family members and plenty of room for the whole family!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Break. The house had plenty of room for my wife, our three children, another couple, and our dog. We appreciated all of the thoughtful touches inside and out- we all felt right at home and wished we could have stayed longer. We love the location in Fenwick- close to the beach and also in walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and the Fenwick Boardwalk. All in all, a perfect place for a relaxing vacation with the family- it was especially nice to be able to have our dog with us.
Great house and a great location oceanside. Fenwick has so much to offer within walking distance.
Well equipped kitchen, paper products, foil, saran wrap and baggies provided were a nice touch. Everything you need to get your week off to a relaxed start. Great neighbors and a quiet neighborhood. The third floor was our favorite hangout in the evening with great views of the sunset and lighthouse.
We enjoyed The Break condo for a few days off-season. Fenwick Island is an "island of calm" between the crowds and density of Ocean City to the south and Bethany/Dewey/Rehobeth to the north. The responsive hosts have outfitted the condo with the things you need to enjoy the beach and a seemingly limitless amount of nautical decor. There are several good restaurants and attractions within walking distance or a short drive. The ocean is less visible than described but is just at the end of the street. The beach is wide, sandy and, locals told us, much less populated in peak season than to the north and south. We gather from past reviews that there have been some recent updates to the condo -- new appliances, a kitchen upgrade, etc. -- that return guests appreciated. The place shows its age in a few places, mostly in carpeting/flooring and bathrooms. As travelers with a dog, we are used to finding such shortcomings in pet-friendly rentals. Overall, The Break is a comfortable, spacious spot that's not on the water or in the middle of the region's action, but is very close to it.
Great location, a block from the beach. The condo is spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. Loved being able to bring our dogs and having access to the fenced in yard for fetch! Excellent communication from the host.
We had a great stay at The Break! The rooms were spacious and comfortable! The kitchen and living areas were also great! And the location in Fenwick is perfect! Just a 5 min walk to the beach (probably less if you donât have children!). Also so many good take out (and ice cream) spots within walking distance!
We booked this property for a week and absolutely loved it. Great amount of space, cute house, super walkable to the beach and back. We would absolutely book here again
Wonderful week! Great location! Our 1st time in Fenwick, will certainly be returning. Clarke responded immediately to our questions. Nice knowing he was close if needed. Nice side yard for our dog. Thanks Clarke.
The Break is in a great location, a short distance to the beach, local shops and eateries. Our group found the house to be very comfortable.
We ate in more than normal due to vacationing during COVID-19 and found that the kitchen could use some serving bowls and measuring cups (we made what was available work).
Overall, our family had a great vacation and are cannot wait for our next trip.
This was a great rental close to the beach and Ocean City & Rehoboth, but far enough from both towns to be quieter than staying in either. Clarke was great at providing information and the house was clean, ready, and well stocked. The only negative was some of the knick knacks in the tiki room had some stereotype overtones that made some in our party uncomfortable (e.g., ânativeâ caricatures and political items). To be clear: great house, great location, great owner response.
We had a great time! The townhouse is centrally located and the owner gave us excellent recommendations for food and drinks. The kitchen is well stocked and there were plenty of linens and towels - no need to bring your own. We encountered a leak in the sink and the owner was there within minutes to fix it. Will definitely consider staying again the next time we are in town.
We could walk to the beach. Enjoyed the water park several days. Woke up to some great restaurants and Dunkinâ and enjoyed many evenings at the local eateries. So great!

We choose Fenwick Island because it is truly a family resort. A unique and safe place where a bike is the preferred mode of transportation. Small but complete with a diverse assortment of activities for recreation, dining or just relaxing, all within walking distance.
