Great relaxing location on a quiet beach. This location is for you if you like relaxing on the beach, fishing or going for walks and the beach is dog friendly. The action of Lewes or Rehoboth are not that far away. You can see a beautiful sunrise if you are an early riser.
Was one of the cleanest places we stayed in. Awesome views of the water. Loved how close to the beach it was. Should fix the attic door in the ceiling to close properly.
We loved the back porch of this property. It is the upper floor so it has a great view of the beach & watching the sunrise each morning was magical. The beach was easy to walk on & goes long distances both ways. Our dog liked it too. The horseshoe crab shells on the beach look like Alien masks. So cool. We loved it here so much we extended our stay by one day. The property managers made it very easy to do so. Weâre from Texas and didnât know Delaware would have such a nice hidden gem on a beautiful beach.
We (myself, my partner, and our two friends - a married couple) came to stay for a long weekend for the Dover NASCAR race. The location was about a half hour drive from the speedway and worked well for our needs.The house is a classic, quirky seaside getaway, ideal size for two couples. Certainly not without its quirks. We got a laugh out of the slanted floors and the "railroad" style bathroom leading into the second bedroom - not much privacy, LOL. There are four units on the lot, so don't come expecting privacy from other groups - but everyone staying that weekend was chill, respectful and relatively quiet, so that wasn't an issue. I got the impression from my pre-stay email exchange with Abby that the supplies in the home would be limited, and we were encouraged to bring our own paper goods, soap products, and towels. I didn't get a response when I emailed and called back asking for clarification on what to expect in terms of supplies. I was pleasantly surprised to find there was soap, coffee, TP, etc. - but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that was all there so we didn't have to pack our own. (Towels are a must, though!) The grill was also a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed cooking out during our stay. The beach access couldn't have been easier and we loved strolling the shore and meeting the many horseshoe crabs!
We stayed for 4 nights, itâs very quiet on that area of the beach. Was like having a private beach. Visited the nature center at feeding time, very educational.
Let me start out with the positives- the area was quiet, the porch area had a nice view, the microwave and dishwasher were newer, the kitchen sink was nice but this was the extent of the positives . We knew the place was âwell lovedâ from the pictures but were not prepared for the condition of the unit. When we first walked in, we were hit with an awful smellâ a mix between pet and mold. The unit was not clean. The walls were filthy(could see where liquid or something was splashed and not cleaned in multiple places), the fridge was from the 80s and dirty, ice maker didnât work, the fan had an inch of crud on it, there was mold in the bathroom by the vent fan, there was dog hair and crumbs on the rug, towel rack was coming off the wall, the stove had crumbs on it. For safety reasons we had concerns because the deadbolt was broken. Luckily the area seemed pretty safe. The furniture was beyond old, had stains on it and was not comfortable. The worst part was all the sheets had a ton of hair on them. I called the property manager and the cleaning lady brought new ones but all of them had hair on them as well so I think it was the washer/dryer did not work. In my opinion this unit should not be on VRBO. It is not kept up and made for a miserable stay. This could be a nice unit if some TLC was given to it. I asked for a discount since we only stayed 4 of the 7 nights paid because of the unit condition, never heard back. Stay away from this property.
Location is amazing, views are amazing
House could have been cleaner and they have an ant problem so donât leave dog food down. Super dog friendly beach but not great for swimming
Would go back
The house was dated and some of the furniture old, but the location was beautiful, neighborhood quiet, and a short drive to the Lewes beaches. The owner was very responsive and sunrises memorable. Thank you!
Upstairs cute cottage overlooking slaughter beach. Beautiful view from front bedroom and cute little deck to have coffee on and watch sunrise/sunset. Good price!
It was awesome to be literally steps from the beach, great views from the bedroom and back room. It was great to have the bedroom windows open and hear the ocean put u to sleep
My husband and I both really enjoyed our stay. So quiet and peaceful. Our furbabies loved walking and playing on the beach. Clean and cozy. Bed very comfortable. So many windows with the view of the bay.
Very pleased.đ
What a beautiful property! We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the sunrises, the dolphins swimming by, the tanker lights at night, sunsets, waljung on the beach. On a dead end road, there wasn't a lot of traffic, which was great. We aren't into the boardwalk or nightlife, so this was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning next year!
I wanted a beach trip but didn't want to travel 8 hours to do it. I was pleasantly surprised that Slaughter Beach was part of a wildlife refuge. Im a huge birder as a hobby.
The view was exactly what I was looking for. We didnt have the greatest weather but did get stunning sunrises. Not being able to swim was a bit disappointing. The water was brackish looking and at low tide we could see that there were lots of rocks. We still enjoyed walking up and down the beach though and took full advantage of the porch.
Milton was a great town and we enjoyed great food at Irish Eyes and Doughbar. We also got to attend music in the park. We ventured to Lewes and learned of the history there.
If I had to offer up any recommendations it would be to change up the furniture. While it was functional it was definitely not comfortable. The bed however was perfect. The toilets were also really low. Not accommodating for people with knee problems.
The place was very clean and stocked with all paper products.
We hope to stay again in the future.
Everything you need for a quit getaway! Loved the beach front property to enjoy the sight & sounds of the bay! So many windows to let in the light. Comfortable and clean. We hope to come back again soon!
Our second time staying on the property (we stayed in the back apartment previously), and we had a wonderful time. The unit was spacious and nicely furnished, and the views were incredible. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the balcony and loved watching the sun rise and set. Great space for our two children and two dogs!
The pictures online don't reflect the actual condition of the property. I could spend quite awhile reviewing each of the many problems, but frankly don't want to waste my time, in addition to my money.
This is our second time staying at this property and it was fantastic. The house is clean and well stocked. Walking distance to the beach and there are very few people around. Close enough to drive to other beaches, but far enough away for a relaxing experience. The property managers are great and I never had to wait for a response from the,.
