A Happy Thanksgiving
This property was perfect for our very large family group celebrating Thanksgiving at the beach! It was a pleasure dealing with the owner. She was welcoming from the first communication! The house was decorated for the holiday and had everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for 20 people. It was a lovely neighborhood close to a hiking path and we were able to use the community center for swimming which was great for the kids.

Space for extended family - peaceful neighborhood - easy drive to beach
Traveled with extended family. There were 16 of us with 6 children and five couples. This home is at the end of a quiet cul de sac in a private community. Not right on the beach, but we prefer quieter off the beaten path. Enough space for everyone and enough bathrooms even with teens involved. The floors turned our bare feet black, but otherwise the cleanliness was ok - especially for a beach house - we attempted to keep the sand swept up during our stay, but it does spread. Enough towels and kitchen stuff for everyone. Having two refrigerators is a life saver. We LOVED the large table in the great room that allowed the whole family to enjoy mealtime together. Wifi is ok in the great room end of the house, but very sketchy in the bedrooms with constant drops and low speed - but we used this as an excuse to be more unplugged. We also couldn't get the cable to work on all the TVs, but made due with adequate service on huge great room TV. Some of the beds are at the end of their lifespan - probably should be replaced as they were lumpy and sagging even with memory foam toppers - we managed to rest well in spite of it, but certainly should be addressed in the short term. We visited Fenwick Island Beach, Bethany Beach Boardwalk and the Delaware State Seashore Park. The Delaware state beach was BY FAR our favorite. Less crowded, large bathrooms and showers, awesome waves, snack bar for munchies, space to spread out as long as we walked further down the beach. For a quick 10 minute drive, it was so worth it for the memories. We saw dolphins, seals, turtles, pelicans, and also military and Coast Guard training going on. The Boardwalk is interesting to walk on in the evening - but VERY busy and the parking is a zoo. The Salt Pond Community Pool was our favorite in the off times - it's large and clean and was easy to access with the provided key fobs. We also had members of our party play tennis, pickle ball and golf (including renting clubs) - much enjoyed. Biking around the community is enjoyable and we saw a bunch of wildlife and discovered the Salt Pond Beach. Hackers grocery is literally at the entrance to the Salt Pond Community and is a well stocked reasonably priced family owned grocery. Royal Farms at a mile away has great coffee and Krispy Kreme donuts.

We had a wonderful week at The Salt Pond. Great location and amenities. I would recommend and rent again. The house is a little dated but it met all our needs.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to build a huge family reunion house that has everything renters asked for, including a great room with a cathedral ceiling where people could have family dinners.

What makes this property unique

Renters enjoy the amenities of the Salt Pond development where they have access to a swimming pool, outdoor restaurant to go for lunch, tennis, and an 18 hole golf course. We are located a close drive to the beach and most renters go to Delaware Seashore State Park Beach where there are facilities including parking, restrooms, showers, restaurants, a bar, lifeguards, shops, and beach and umbrella rentals.
