This is was our first VRBO rental experience and it went without a hitch. Property management is attentive and responsive. The beach is private and precious. Virtually no traffic on Bay Avenue as it ai a dead-end road. We will be back and this will be our first choice if available.

We all loved staying in this little apartment at the back of the property. It was clean, nicely ste up with a small yard for our dog and amazing access to the beach. We bought and left a large pot and colander for making pasta, which is a must when traveling with small kids but, really, everything else we needed was right there. We would absolutely book again.

Perfect place to get away and relax

We had a great time staying here. We brought our dog and the location could not have been more perfect. We were steps away from Slaughter beach and stayed on a very quiet street. We enjoyed paddleboarding on the bay and our dog enjoyed exploring the beach. The neighbors were friendly and quiet. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The property was very clean and stocked with everything that we needed. It has beauitful high ceilings with so much natural light! I had thought it was a house that had multiple apartments in it. It turned out that it was just the one unit with a shared sun porch and laundry room below us, that we shared with another house. Which was great! We stayed one week and only had one issue with the wifi that lasted temporarily. The proximity to other beaches on the ocean side was a quick and easy drive. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back!

The apartment was very nice. The weather didn't cooperate, and it was incredibly hot, with wind from the west. That means lots of bugs. The green flies were awful. The beach was covered in debris. We left early due to the weather conditions.

The apartment is equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Very close to the bay and Milford, Delaware. The neighborhood is very quiet and fosters an easy, slower pace. Walking to the beach and west brings one to the reserve, no houses, just nature and the bay. We walked every day and just relaxed. Visited Milford to take in the restaurants and theater. Again, exactly what the doctor ordered. In the future, we would do only one thing differently - stay longer than 9 days! Thank you!

When we walked in the first thing we noticed was how clean this unit was compared to some places we've stayed before. This upstairs unit had enough room for the four of us but was a bit tight as it was four adults. The kitchen had sufficient supplies for the cooking we did on our stay. This is a very quiet area with no traffic. It was just a short walk around the front building to the bay/beach. The bay was dirty when we were there but at low tide there were many really nice shells to be found as the bay was quite shallow. At high tide it was amazing to see the horseshoe crabs by the hundreds coming ashore as it was their mating season. A short drive to Lewes we found a very nice beach where the water was much clearer. Bethany and Rehoboth beaches are about 35 minutes away if you want to be in the ocean waves, surf, shop or go out to eat.

Very clean, cozy and comfortable. We would rent again.

The space was clean and comfortable and stocked with everything we needed for a short trip. Our dog loved it too, and we really enjoyed walking with him on the cute beach right outside. The only issue we had was with with the neighbors two houses down. Within 30 seconds of arriving they were screaming threats to call the police and dogcatcher because our dog was not on a leash the second we let him out of the car. We tried to apologize and explain we had just arrived but they continued on their rant, and we also received emails from the rental service that they were making calls trying to get our dog taken to the pound. Just avoid the Karens a couple houses down and you’ll be fine.

The unit was very clean and had what was needed. However the internet only could be used in the dining area. We didn't realize we had to bring linens, towels, blankets, all soaps, including kitchen and bathroom, hair dryer until we received our contract. The linens were waived; Never had we needed to bring those items in prior rentals. We couldn't figure out the TV, but Abby immediately had the housekeeper check in. We didn't realize that Wilmington was so far away (our fault); the beach did not appear swimmable and we didn't bring swim shoes which were needed because the beach is stony.

The house was clean and beautiful the only bad thing I have to say is the couches were uncomfortable and the daybed was impossible to sleep on. I would also bring a large pan. The beach was beautiful and would definitely go back.

Very cozy, instant beach access, and everyone is friendly. On our last day (August 14), we got to see many newly hatched horseshoe crabs in a tide pool we dug out near the water. There are many beautiful, smooth rocks. We really loved the calm and quiet here, and the owner was very kind.

Place was extremely clean when we arrived, key was in lock box as instructions stated, property management is very responsive to any issues. The beach is nice to hang out on, let your dogs take a dip but we didn't swim in it went to other local beaches. One thing I was discouraged about was the fact there's a picture of people having a fire on the beach and as soon as you arrive there's instructions and one of the main ones was NO FIRES ON BEACH so don't bring firewood lime we did. Overall the place was clean cozy and nice

The listing pictures are accurate. Clean, newly painted. Good size. Dining area on left solid wood table/chairs & had enough room for teenage girl to sleep on futon. Bedroom had closets, dresser, linen pillows very good. Goldilocks said bed was too soft. Vaulted ceilings and nice fan in living room, teenage boy slept on couch. Tv had good stations, but Comcast cable was blurry. Kitchen was new, fridge & 5 burned electric range. Utensils and plates were ok. Pots and pans were a hodge podge from yards sales. Mini cast iron skillet cooked two eggs perfectly. The 2 that used to be “nonstick” belong in bin. Recommend Flipping toast 1/2 way Very nice unit near quiet beach. Recommend .

We had a great time! The neighborhood and beach was so peaceful. The location was great for traveling to nearby beaches and attractions.

Very nice and clean. Perfect for our week in town for my sons baseball tournament.

There were some house cleaning issues that I took care of but the location was awesome for a beach bumming vacation. I loved the washer/dryer availability however maybe adding a "machine in use" sign or a way to reserve the next spot option would be a good suggestion. A vaccuum would also be a plus.

We absolutely loved our stay in Slaughter Beach. This little attic apartment had plenty of room to relax, cook, and play board games, even with the shorter ceiling height. The place has been updated and cleaned to address previous reviews’ issues and we were excited to find the kitchen had more utensils and gadgets than we expected. The futon and chair-bed are not the best sleeping option, so bring an air mattress back-up if you have it. Despite the inability to see the beach from the place, you are just steps away from the ocean and you can hear it too! This beach isn’t crowded at all by humans - it’s all residential, but in May it is crowded by horseshoe crabs. Witnessing their spawning was incredible and we learned to "just flip over" the stranded crabs that had been flipped on their backs. I wouldn’t call this a swimming beach, but it was perfect for walks with our dogs. We checked out Prime Hook National Wildlife refuge (keep an eye out for the Indigo buntings but also the nefarious ticks) as well as biked the greenway trails starting in Cape Henlopen National Park (keep biking past the trail to see the Rehoboth boardwalk). The Parking and laundry are super convenient. Come prepared with food or the understanding that you’ll need to travel 15-20 mins by car to get provisions. We fell in love with the downtown of Lewes nearby, highly recommend the chai lattes at the bakery and checking out the used book store/underground record store. We have been made fans of the beach with the terrifying name and hope we can visit again soon.

We enjoyed the sunny and bright space, and everything was clean and well maintained. Everything except the bed, that is. What was listed as a queen size was definitely not - my husband’s feet hung over the end. And the mattress had completely collapsed in the center so we both ended up smashed together in the well in the middle. Also, for some reason the bed frame is on wheels so every time either of us sat down on it the bed it rolled across the floor. The sofas in the living area were uncomfortable so really there was no where to fully relax. But Abby was very helpful and friendly. Thank you, Abby!

Cute, cozy, and just as pictured and described. We had everything we needed and more than we expected. The local staff and management staff were exceptional. The area is beautiful, and located in a quiet area adjacent to a wildlife sanctuary. We will definitely book here again!

Very cozy with nice furnishings. Easy access to beach. Could have used some basic kitchen items like pot holders, cookie sheet, and glasses.
