Great stay during our spring break! The home was beautiful, clean, and well organized. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.We also loved being able to stay with our dog, Coco. Would definitely come back again!
Our family had such a wonderful stay! The house was great, very clean and updated, with lots of nice touches like extra snacks, sunscreen, flip-flops, and beach towels conveniently located by the back door! There was plenty of room for large or extended families, with ample seating inside and out, and gorgeous views through the wall of windows all along the back! The deck was just perfect, we loved the outdoor dining area, as well as the comfy outdoor sectional for family hang-outs. The beach access was super convenient, great for families with small children who don't want to carry beach gear and toys too far! As nature-lovers, we were excited to see a variety of birds, including egrets, loons, cormorants, seagulls, mockingbirds, and swallows! The beautiful sunsets were icing on the cake! We couldn't have asked for a better location!
Absolutely wonderful stay - the house is large, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is so well stocked - we had more than everything we needed for our meals! John is very communicative and helpful - check-out directions are very simple to follow. The beach is such a luxury - quiet and serene - the gorgeous sunset cannot be beat! Electric fireplace is very cool. There are so many kind little touches - like extra toothbrushes if you forgot yours (which my mother did) - it's clear that the owners went all out to make sure we had an excellent stay, which we did! Would definitely book again!
My wife and I have stayed at many vacation homes over the past 35 years and this was truly one of the best we have stayed at. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you would need. Seriously, John thought of everything. The bathrooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. The living area was comfortable and has a gorgeous view with all of the windows facing the beach. The outdoor patio was amazing. There were beach towels, flip flops, bug spray, sunscreen, everything you would want for the beach. Everything was clean. We were on our way back to Philadelphia after a week of military parks and this was perfect for a few days of just chilling and relaxation. We will definitely stay again when in the area.
Our family enjoyed a great week on the beach. We were able to play in the river, kayak, fly kites and enjoy a great week together. Thanks for a great place to vacation as a family.
Excellent property and outstanding hosts. Peaceful, relaxing, and a wonderful spot to finish out the summer. The provided amenities exceeded expectations. The house has everything needed for a home away from home vacation rental.
The house was great for a girls weekend and the host was very communicative and helpful with finding places to eat/drink as we weren’t familiar with the area.
Hosts couldn’t have been better. Communication excellent. The place was clean and the house was beautiful. Everything you need is in the home including flip flops for the beach!! Neighbors are nice and neighborhood is quiet. Fire pit in the beach made the stay special. Highly recommend you stay here!!
A perfect spot to celebrate a family birthday.... convienent for our kids who were coming from DC and PA. The house was perfect, right on the beach and had all of the amenities we could want. Highly recommend this lovely home.
My family and I had a wonder time at this house Labor day weekend. The house was very clean. The kitchen is well equipped. Beautiful sunsets off the back deck. We used the firepit on the beach almost every night. We enjoyed the Shipyard for drinks and music we rented a firepit here .Would highly recommend.
Pictures don’t do this property justice. Beautiful and relaxing even in December. Host goes above and beyond to ensure comfort. We enjoyed a wonderful family gathering.
We travel in the winter in an RV. We had a friend and nephew who we wanted to spend time with and this house was perfect. The weather was very windy but having the beach right out the door was.perfect motovation to
This is the second year that my wife and I joined my daughter's family at this house. We chose it for its location on the river and it having a beach. We brought a small sailboat with us and had a great time on the river and the beach. The layout suited our needs with a downstairs master bedroom. We attended the Cow Town rodeo on Saturday night and enjoyed it. The host maintained good communication via the app. We would recommend this as a great place to stay for a good time on the water.
The home owners did a great job of having everything you would need for stay at the beach. The beach was quiet and accessible from the back yard. There was a spot in the house for every family member to hang out and enjoy time relaxing. The sunsets were just stunning. Great panaramic view from the living room.
This exceeded our expectations in every way. A beautiful view, a well=appointed house, and a lovely location. This stretch of beach on the Delaware River is one of NJ's best kept secrets, so it's with a heavy heart that I give such an enthusiastic review. The eight of us could not have had a better stay here over a sunny Thanksgiving week.
I have rented many vacation houses over the years and this is undoubtedly the best equipped house I have ever rented. Our group included two 2 year olds and there were many provisions for them, including a life jacket. We had a couple of minor blips that were quickly responded to by John. The house and easy communication made for a wonderful family vacation.
