Best vacation in years! Just steps to the beach and oh so quiet!! Many restaurant choices just a short drive away. This slice of beach is a hidden gem.
The cottage was PERFECT! Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and very nice living space. We even saved a few horseshoe crabs. Can’t wait to go back!

We just returned home from our stay and already want to go back. The house is amazing and perfect for rest, relaxing, and reading. Jennifer is a responsive host who has thought of everything. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Prior to this, my wife and I always made Slaughter Beach a side trip from Rehoboth to scout for fossils and kayak. This time we stayed four days and loved every minute! It is such a quiet and peaceful place and the house is perfect for reading, relaxing, and wandering onto the beach whenever you want. Great food and entertainment are only 25 minutes away in Lewes and Rehoboth, but you don’t have to fight traffic or deal with rowdy crowds. We never wanted to leave. The best alarm clock in the world is the sunrise shining over the bay and peeping in the back windows of the house.

The house was just perfect. Clean, beautiful view of the water. And the location, far from the madding crowd was just what the doctor ordered! Thank you, Jennifer!

This property was so perfect for what we needed!! Beautiful little cottage right on the water. Brought my daughter down to attend the 2022 Firefly Festival in Dover. I attended some of the festival, too, but also had downtime here at this “breath of fresh air” beach escape. Exactly what I wanted - to be able to sit and drink my coffee and look at the water. And the owner was very sweet, responsive, easy to contact. Thank you for a great stay!!

From booking to check out, Jennifer was there to help with everything in between. The house and property are beautiful, well kept and accommodating, this is the perfect relaxing get away for a family or group of friends. Slaughter beach is the perfect spot for a quiet vacation in a beautiful home, close to everything Delaware had to offer.

Once again, a wonderful time!
This was our second visit to the The Summer House and it did not disappoint. We had a terrific time and made incredible memories. The home was beautiful and the new front porch entrance was an awesome addition! We enjoyed hot days on the beach fishing and soaking up the sun. And the evening campfires on the beach can't be beat. Loved the solitude of the area. Jennifer was very easy to communicate with and we appreciated her opening up her home to us.

Nice minimalist design. No stairs and very close to beach. Very good house and beach for young kids!

We loved our stay here! The house was spotless when we arrived, the living room is full of sunlight and the path to the beach is right out the back door. The outdoor shower was a highlight for some in our group as well. We came for the horseshoe crabs and were very happy with how many we got to see and how easy it was to get to the beach. The only downside was the black flies, but we learned to read the neighbor's wind sock and figured out when it would be safe to sit outside. During buggy times we were happy to sit inside the gorgeous house with the windows open so we could still hear the shore birds and take in the magnificent views. The DuPont nature center was a wonderful resource to ask all of our horseshoe crab and other bay creature questions, nice that it was so close. I hope we get to return!

Cozy house only a few feet from the beach. We had a perfect relaxing week there and caught quite a few fish off the beach (croaker, sea trout, dogfish, sharks). Good restaurants and breweries within 10-20 minutes. Would love to stay here again!

Special Getaway
Love this place. It's perfect for two couples looking to relax. You have the beach to yourself and it's just steps away. Perfect location for us, we prefer the quiet places rather than the bigger beach areas. Owners are very nice and have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable.

Perfect!
My family had a great, relaxing time at Jennifer's place. The beach was so peaceful and the calmer bay water is perfect for young kids. It rained a bit during our stay, but with the beautiful water views from the house, we didn't mind having to stay inside sometimes! The house was very clean and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking. Be sure to bring bug spray for sitting on the beach and water shoes if you plan on getting into the water!

Perfect...Exactly what we needed!
Our stay was perfect. The house was clean and perfectly situated on the beach for easy access to the sand and water. Our three kids (ages 2,8,10) had a blast surf fishing, swimming and exploring. Jennifer was easy to work with, friendly and prompt to reply to our questions. The quiet of the beach and the lack of crowds made for a fun and safe beach getaway that was exactly what we needed to refresh and recharge. The house was beautiful and its location was perfect. The memories made here will be remembered for years to come. Thank you Jennifer, for sharing your little beach paradise with us.

First time traveling since the pandemic so it was the perfect spot to venture out. The house was great and the location outstanding. We enjoyed all the wildlife from horseshoe crabs to foxes to terrapins. We’ll be back!!

The house is beautifully renovated, and well outfitted. It is right on the beach -- well situated for long beach walks and for viewing wildlife out the backdoor and in the region. I especially enjoyed the beautiful light and great view through the living room's many windows from sunrise to sunset. I hope to return some day.

A little piece of paradise
My family of four stayed here for three nights, and it was absolutely perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, the house was immaculate, and the views were unbeatable. It’s absolutely perfect. My husband now wants to retire here, and my kids were sad to leave. I can’t say enough good things about this place. We’ll be back.
