The house is truly a beautiful vacation home! It’s everything that my family wanted - well designed/organized, access to beach and community club pool plus all fun amenities such as bikes, beach chairs, family games! I just feel bad for the owners that I have to give a 4-star on cleanliness because of wrongdoings by previous renters that was not caught by inspection prior to our arrival. The dishwasher was smelly and was not unloaded. The grill was dirty and we could not open the valve to get the fire started. There were instructions on all of these but previous renters did not follow.

We had a great time staying at the house. It's close to the pool and the beach. The included bikes and equipment are excellent and such a nice addition. Thanks for having us. Would recommend.

This house is well appointed, comfortable, convenient to bay and state park beaches, as well as Lewes and beyond. It has the best equipped kitchen of any beach house we've ever stayed in! It nicely tucked in among trees, but just steps from the pool, with view over a pond from the kitchen and porches. And it comes with beach chairs, bikes, and even a wagon, which saved us space when packing. We loved every minute at Vitamin Sea!

We bsolutely loves staying at Vitamin Sea! The house was beautiful and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and has both the bay and pool. There was plenty of space to relax. There are several decks and a lovely screened in porch to spend time on. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials you'd need to cook. We had such a nice time and can't wait to come back!

Very comfortable house for our large group/family of 10 including an infant and toddler. Loved the screened in porch and deck with grill. Made for great family dinners. Location excellent- near pool and bay beach and close to Cape Henlopen Park with trails and Ocean beach. Owner very accessible if needed. Kitchen well stocked with appliances/dishes/pots. A bit tough to bring linens- sheets and towels and shampoo/soap, but will be easier if repeat stay. Appreciated stuff for infant like booster seat and portacrib. Official checkin and checkout times tight but appreciated flexibility when feasible. Overall, fun time for beach getaway with family and we are considering repeat stay!

We could not have asked for a more perfect house or community for our family getaway. 6 adults and 2 toddlers all had a blast! From the calm, quiet beach to the beautiful pool, everything was wonderful! Thank you, Cape Shores!
