We (family of 4 with 2 kids ages 7 and 3) really enjoyed our stay here. The rental is clean, spacious, and relaxing. You can't beat the view! The Dupont Nature Center & a national wildlife refuge are nearby -- great places to visit if you're into ecology. You can also drive about 30 minutes to the busier parts of the Delaware shore --Rehoboth boardwalk, Cape Henlopen State Park, etc.

This place truly is RIGHT ON the beach, but it's not a very enjoyable beach for swimming -- it's tucked into the bay so the water is almost too warm, kind of murky/dirty (After swimming several laps my chin had a thick line of dirt on it), no waves, you can see turtles poking their head out of the water, very rocky, etc. My kids weren't very bothered by this -- they could still splash around, play in the softer sand closer to the house, etc. but we still decided to spend one of our three days at Cape Henlopen State Park beach where it was much more "ocean-y."

I cannot overstate just how quiet this place is. There is just one strip of houses along the beach, half of them on a dead end street. Behind the houses there's farmland and a nature preserve. We saw just a few other people on the beach -- most of them walking their dogs. It's very much an escape from busyness & noise.

As for improvements that could be made to the interior space, I suggest adding a couple of fans to the amenities (or maybe even install ceiling fans). Also, better communication about what outdoors supplies are available to use would've been good -- I asked about this a few days before our arrival and never got a response. There were boogie boards, bikes, etc. near the washer & dryer (shared by all three units) but it wasn't clear to us whether those were up for grabs, so we never used them.

Overall, we are really happy with our mini vacation here!
