This was our second year in a row staying here. You can’t beat the location, right on the beach! Also the beach doesn’t get crowded at all and being on the bay the water is calmer which is great for our 4 and 2 year olds. Definitely thinking of staying there again next summer.

Very happy that we had ample space for our family of four, but also room to entertain other family visitors and even have three extra send the night honey other available beds. Used kayak & ping pong & countless excursions up and down the beach since we were lucky to catch the season of horseshoe crabs coming ashore for mating. Nice books in the home to explain the local wildlife. Plenty of bedding and towels. Would definitely stay there again as a centrally located spot that can accommodate a grande family meal for 10 people. Lots of sofas and deck facing the ocean and most spectacular sunrises. Quiet residential area.

Great house, great location, beautiful view!

This might be my favorite getaway yet. This house is truly a home. It is perfect for small children, has a fully stocked kitchen, on a quiet dead end street, and you cannot beat the views on the deck! We enjoyed the beach with all the horseshoe crabs and birds, riding bikes, jigsaw puzzles and cooking all our food at home. Grateful for a relaxing vacation with dear friends!

Our family had a wonderful stay! We will certainly be back! The house is perfect for time with young kids who enjoy birdwatching, horshoe crabs, and playtime in the sand on a calm beach. The Prime Hook Nature Reserve nearby was wonderful. Kayaks and beach toys were a pleasant surprise in the basement and the house had everything needed for a comfortable, relaxing, and fun stay! The view from the living/dining space is so beautiful.

Charming home in fantastic location. Great views of the Delaware Bay. Can't get any closer to the water. Host Anne was great with communication. Really enjoyed the ping pong table. My husband and I will return.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this cottage. The views from the large, open living/dining/kitchen area are spectacular!!! Although the weather wasn’t always cooperative, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the snow geese and other shore birds from the cozy, warm cottage. The sunrises and sunsets are also amazing. If you want a quiet, relaxing vacation with nature all around you, this is the place to be. The town of Milton is close by and has several wonderful restaurants and parks. Lewes and Rehoboth are only 15-20 minutes away if you want a little more action and adventure. The owners were wonderful and responded very quickly to our questions and even provided information about where we could see the short eared owls nearby. All in all a great place to stay.

My husband and I with our 3 girls, 6, 3, and 1 had another lovely stay over thanksgiving, which we had done last year as well! The house is clean, well equipped and linens all included. The owners are easy to communicate with, and the sunrise/sunset views are hard to beat! Highly recommend!

From booking to finish was an amazing experience

Super cute house literally right on a beautiful and natural beach. We loved the deck, watching the freighters, the birds and seeing the horseshoe crabs. Sunrise with coffee on the deck and cocktails around back overlooking the nature preserve. We even got to experience nature's fury during a tropical storm, talk about exciting. This house has everything you need and then some. Highly recommend.

Very cozy. Great for families with kids. Plenty of room.

Had a great experience with the owners with questions or concerns regarding the rental. Extremely pleased!!

This was our second stay at the yellow cottage and we absolutely love it. We had beautiful weather while there and enjoyed every minute on the beach! Hope to be back next summer :)

This is our third year staying in the yellow cottage. We love the peaceful atmosphere of the community and the view from the living room is Stellar!!! This is an excellent place for families especially ones with young kids. Most everything is supplied at the cottage. Just bring your food and clothes. Also, The owners are quick to respond to any questions. Definitely recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed!

Just a most tranquil experience with the soft sounds of the bay waves hitting the shore without the overcrowding of the beach!! Not a far trip from all the shops and eateries that a beach would have to offer!!

A great property that has everything you need to enjoy the bay. We really appreciate the owner’s helpfulness and communication. This was our second stay and won’t be our last.

My family of four had a wonderful time relaxing at the Yellow Cottage that was stocked with everything that we needed to enjoy the beach including beach towels and chairs. There is nothing like being able to walk out the back door right on to the beach and my usually hard to please teenagers had a blast using the kayak and stand up paddle board. I loved the whimsical seaside and mermaid decorations throughout the house and the kitchen was well supplied for all of our cooking needs. I never got tired of the amazing views of the water from the front room or of sitting on the back porch with a glass of wine listening to the waves roll up on the beach. The house is located in the Primehook National Wildlife Refuge and is home to a variety of birds and other animals that we enjoyed spotting during our stay. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome. We were sad to leave and would love to return another time!

Every need was taken care of making packing as simple as a bag for each person! Communication was awesome and the front window room was the perfect spot for family meals, visits and reading.

The pictures don’t do this little place justice. We absolutely loved the property, from the well stocked kitchen to the incredible views. We sat on the new deck for 4 days straight, and the night sky was so clear we saw more stars than anywhere we have ever been. The horseshoe crabs were still mating and we loved seeing them all over the beach. Loved the street too, perfect for bike riding with the bikes provided which were great!! The only drawback was the comfort of the beds. They were newer and totally acceptable, but they are soft, and our backs were hurting after the first couple nights. For firm mattress sleepers like us, this is something to consider and I always like to share.

The house is directly on the beach, and the views are great. The property is almost on a little island with the bay ion one side and wildlife preserve on the other. The owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. We were in town for a 3+ day lacrosse tournament, and this made the trip a great experience versus staying in a hotel. We caught fish, grilled, kayaked, and more. The beach is also super private. I never saw more than 8-10 other poeple on the beach at any time.

This was our third year at this property and we absolutely love it! The deck is perfect for sitting to talk and listen to the waves and watch kids in the water. We come with another family and are a group of 8 and we love the layout of the house. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you might need. The outdoor equipment available is awesome! The quiet of this beach is amazing and the kids all love watching (and flipping!) the horseshoe crabs in the evening. We can't wait for year #4! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

The Yellow Cottage was the perfect getaway for our family of 3 young boys aged 8 months through 6 years. The proximity of the newly built deck to the beach meant I could be with the baby in the shade on the deck and still keep a close eye on my other two while they played in the sand. Dad loved the included kayaks, as the calm waters are perfect for an easy launch. I plan to go back again next year.

Home was not clean/prepared for paying guests. The beach was dirty and not a "hangout and relax/ swim" at all. Ants in the kitchen and the long drive to any recreation was the eventual deal breaker. Fortunately the owners only charged us for the 3 nights we stayed and refunded the balance.

Perfect place! Just we wanted and needed. The view is incredible! New deck is awesome! We saw several dolphins from the deck!! Couldn't have asked for more!

We were looking for a place to spend time with family and keep two little boys entertained and this was the perfect experience.

Enjoy the solitude of this bay/beach front house tucked away on the back side of a Nature Preserve. We were far enough away from everything to feel removed from the hustle and Bustle but close enough for a quick 20 to Amazing view

This is the only place I will stay because it has everything I need except groceries and my clothes. It is always clean and has plenty of everything. My friend went with me and she and I worked on a puzzle and there are plenty to choose from I love sitting on the deck and watching the water, the ships in the distance and listening to the waves. The owners are wonderful and they knew this weekend was my birthday so instead of leaving a normal care package They left chocolates, a bottle of wine and roses. They are the kindest people!

We LOVED this house and location! Beautiful views from outside (great deck right next to the beach!) or inside (huge windows!), lots of birds to see, and the beach was so private and natural! Ocean and beach on one side, and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge (with great sunsets) on the other! The house came equipped with everything you need for a fun vacation - lots of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc. for fun on the beach, and lots of games, puzzles, books, and toys for fun inside on rainy days. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed a week in the dead of winter on the beach at this very nice well equipped house. There are windows all around, all double-pane, so it's well insulated with excellent heat even on very cold, windy days. The beach is great for a scenic walk, and on one relatively warm afternoon I had a nice bike ride.
