About this property
Find your peace between the bay and the marsh
Relax with the family at this peaceful, nature lovers dream. It’s truly a getaway from everyday life. Sit and relax on the spacious deck overlooking the Delaware Bay, listen to the waves as the tides come and go, or enjoy the symphony of the shore birds and surrounding nature from the vast marshland with Money Island in the distance. It’s only a short walk to the small public beach to put your feet in the sand and cool off on a hot day or collect beach glass. Don’t forget your fishing gear!
Horseshoe cove is an eclectic cottage with views of the bay and marshland.
The first floor includes a screened-in porch with sitting and dining areas, complete with bay view and deck access. Once you enter the home there is a light-filled family room and dining room, a fully stocked kitchen, a sitting room with puzzles, games and books, full bath, and a bedroom with a full sized bed and private access to the deck. Upstairs you will find a large open concept bedroom that sleeps 4. Originally intended to be two separate bedrooms, but kept open to allow for the bay breeze and 360 views. There is also another full bath with shower stall.
The outdoor space includes a large deck off of the family room, and a smaller deck off of the kitchen that includes an outdoor shower and grill. Parking is available onsite for 2-3 cars.
One of the things we love most about Gandy’s Beach is the nature. Please be respectful of this special place and leave it better than you found it.
This is a small quiet community. In order to respect our neighbors we request that there are no large or loud parties.
It is about 45 minutes to 1 hour from the major shore points. The grocery store is about 20-30 minutes away.
Our home is lovely, but it certainly isn’t Pinterest perfect. It’s lived in and loved. We are always working on improving it and making it even better for our family and guests. We keep it stocked with necessities and promise that you will make lasting memories here.
No smoking, vaping, etc. within the property including the screened in porch.
The best time to enjoy the beach area is at low tide. There is not much beach due to erosion at high tide. We strongly suggest water shoes!
Activities that many enjoy here are birding, boating, kayaking, photography, sea glass hunting, swimming, fishing, crabbing.
Bugs can be a pain some days when the bay breeze does not keep them at bay. Bring your bug spray. The most challenging months are June and July.
Due to the nature of living on an island, it is important to limit indoor water use. Please use the outdoor shower as much as possible. The septic only has a small holding tank.
Guests will have access to the entire home with the exception of the owners closet.
We ask that our guests tidy the home prior to departure to make cleaning easier.
Although the home is not pet friendly to our guests at the moment, the owners do have dogs that visit from time to time. Just a note for those who have allergies.
Guests are responsible for any property damage.
