Coastal Fall Retreat at Love Creek • Kayak•Hot Tub•Fire Place•Private Waterfront
Discover Delaware's Best-Kept Secret... Autumn at Love Creek Living!
Warm afternoons. Crisp evenings. Quiet beaches. Spectacular sunsets. No traffic. No dinner waits. Lower seasonal rates.
Welcome to Love Creek Living, where autumn on the Delaware coast feels like the beach was meant to be enjoyed. As the summer crowds fade away, this private waterfront retreat becomes the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and experience a quieter side of coastal Delaware.
Wake up with coffee overlooking Love Creek, spend the afternoon kayaking peaceful waterways or exploring nearby beaches and historic towns, then return home for dinner on the screened porch, a football game in the pool house, and an evening gathered around the fire pit beneath the stars.
Just minutes away, you'll discover one of America's oldest towns. Founded in 1631, **Lewes—the First Town in the First State—**offers tree-lined streets, charming boutiques, waterfront restaurants, and rich maritime history that are even more enjoyable during the quieter months.
This is also one of the best seasons to experience the Delaware coast. Browse the Historic Lewes Farmers Market, hike or bike the scenic trails of Cape Henlopen State Park, tour Dogfish Head Brewery or Nassau Valley Vineyards, and enjoy fresh local seafood without the summer crowds. In October, don't miss Rehoboth Beach's famous Sea Witch Festival, featuring parades, live music, family activities, costumed dogs, and one of the East Coast's most beloved beach festivals.
Then return to your own private waterfront retreat. Pour a glass of wine, gather with family and friends, and end the day sharing stories around the fire while the sounds of Love Creek provide the perfect backdrop.
Nestled on a private one-acre waterfront lot—with five wooded acres across the creek preserving peaceful views and exceptional privacy—Love Creek Living comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with four bedrooms, a fun bunk room for kids, three full bathrooms, and two half baths.
The property also features a private in-ground pool (open May through September), a year-round hot tub, spacious screened porch, charming pool house, expansive yard, and countless indoor and outdoor gathering spaces designed for making lasting memories.
Your Private Waterfront Retreat
Adventure begins right in the backyard.
Launch a kayak directly from the property and paddle through beautiful Love Creek into Rehoboth Bay. Cast a line from the shoreline—perfect for experienced anglers and beginners alike—or practice your swing using the private golf practice net. The expansive lawn offers plenty of room for volleyball, cornhole, football, soccer, or simply letting the kids run free.
After a day exploring the Delaware coast, gather for dinner overlooking the creek, relax with friends on the deck, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings that make this property so special. Even after pool season ends, the outdoor spaces remain the heart of Love Creek Living.
Pool House Fun
The pool house becomes the perfect fall gathering place. Stream the big football game, enjoy drinks around the pub table, or relax in the comfortable lounge seating while the kids climb into the secret loft for games, LEGOs, puzzles, or imaginative adventures.
Evenings You'll Remember
As the sun sets over Love Creek, gather around the fire pit with blankets, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the creek. The spacious screened porch, with seating for twelve, makes family dinners effortless—even if an autumn shower rolls through.
Sleeping Arrangements
Primary Suite #1 A peaceful retreat featuring a queen bed, private sunroom, balcony overlooking the property, Smart TV, and ensuite bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower.
Primary Suite #2 A bright coastal bedroom with a queen bed and private ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower.
Bedroom 3 Queen bed with beautiful views of the pool, Love Creek, and surrounding woods.
Bedroom 4 Built-in twin bed with pull-out trundle, generous closet space, and peaceful woodland and creek views.
Kids' Bunk Room A favorite with younger guests! Double built-in bunk beds with porthole windows create the feeling of sleeping aboard a ship. Stocked with games, puzzles, books, and art supplies, it's the perfect rainy-day hideaway.
Indoor Living The open-concept kitchen features generous island seating and beautiful creek views, making it the natural gathering place for family and friends.
The main living room includes a 65-inch Smart TV with cable and comfortable seating for movie nights.
The enclosed front porch offers a cozy dining area perfect for morning coffee, family meals, or board games, while the separate sitting room invites guests to curl up with a good book or spend an afternoon working on one of the house puzzles.
A Place with History
Long before Route 1, beach traffic, and vacation homes, the waterways surrounding Love Creek powered a grist mill that served the area's farming community. Just across Robinsonville Road, the historic mill pond still hints at that past.
Today, Love Creek flows quietly beneath the bridge while a magnificent American sycamore—standing watch over this landscape for well over a century—welcomes each new generation of guests. It's a peaceful reminder that some of Delaware's most beautiful places remain wonderfully unchanged.
The Perfect Location
Love Creek Living offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful waterfront setting just minutes from Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park, tax-free outlet shopping, championship golf, breweries, wineries, outstanding restaurants, and miles of beautiful beaches and bike trails.
Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples' getaway, girls' weekend, fishing trip, or simply looking to unwind by the water, Love Creek Living is the perfect place to experience the quieter, more beautiful side of coastal Delaware.

Beautiful home that is exactly as described on the listing. Our family has stayed twice and always have a great experience. The home is well stocked and the hosts are very responsive.
Our party of 10 absolutely loved the accommodations. House had great character, plenty of room to enjoy large gatherings and the kayaking in the creek was so much fun for everyone. Planning to return in 2027
This is one of the rare finds where the property is even better than advertised! It felt like you were staying in someone’s home rather than an overused rental. Our extended family of 10 fit without a problem, and everything was extremely clean.

Thank you for the awesome review! We definitely try to make our property feel more like a home then a rental. So glad it exceeded your expectations. And thank you for the comment about the cleanliness. Our cleaning team is amazing! Definitely come back and stay with us again soon.
Aimee and Kip's place is absolutely amazing! The home is clean and spacious and everything you would want in a vacation rental. We booked for a friend's reunion/40th birthday beach trip and the home easily held 3 separate families (12 people total)- at no point did we feel cramped or like we were on top of each other. Loved having access to a pool and hot tub, and kayaks for the creek. Communication was amazing and Aimee and Kip were super easy to get a hold of if there were any questions or issues. They provided any and all amenities/equipment and we look forward to booking with them in the future!!

Thanks for the stellar review! We're so happy your birthday beach trip was awesome and the house had everything you needed for a great celebration. Come again!
We loved our stay! The house was perfect, close enough to the beach and other areas and also a little tucked back in for privacy. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Thank you, Julie! You just described what made us fall in love with Love Creek Living in the first place: Close enough to be part of the beach action when you want to and then all the privacy and quiet back at the house when you don’t. So glad you loved your stay!
So, the minute you open the front door, you pat yourself on the back!! You’ve just stepped into a vacation paradise!! The home, kitchen (with every possible amenity you could ask for), pool room, pool, hot tub and the property that housed a heron, turtles, frogs and other little guys. On our last day we were sent off with the appearance of a doe wading in the creek!! Outstanding cleanliness and attention to detail is not overlooked. Aimee and Kip are the perfect hosts and we look forward to staying at Love Creek again. Kip and Aimee, my family, along with my wife and I thank you for sharing your superb home with us!!
A great home that was clean and big ,also was in a good location my grandkids loved the pool.

Thank you, Keith! So glad the grandkids had fun in the pool. We love the location too. A little off the beaten path, away from the traffic with lots of privacy. Come back and see us again!
We had a great stay! Aimee and Kip were great with communication from the start, and they gave many local recommendations. Their home was beautiful, clean, and had every amenity you could think of. The beach and shops are a short drive away. The only thing I would recommend would be a DVD player and a few movies. An internet provider outage caused there to be no Wi-Fi during our trip, which was not at all preventable, but having a backup option would have been awesome for our young kids to stay occupied at bedtime. Overall, it was a 10/10 stay, and we would definitely recommend it!

We loved staying in this house! It was very clean, had lots of space, and it was close to the beach, boardwalk, and places to eat. The pool and poolhouse were amazing! The owner was very responsive and helpful.
Loved everything about our stay! House is great, pool, hot tub, property…amazing! Aimee has thought of every detail which makes this such a relaxing place to visit. Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you for the awesome review, MeLissa! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. We’re so glad you enjoyed all the amenities our home has to offer. And yes, we agree that a well stocked kitchen makes family feeding on vacation so much easier. Come back and stay with us again!
The house is beautiful and very well appointed. So many thoughtful touches such as the first aid kit and extra sunglasses. The pool house is a great bonus!
Our family enjoyed everything about our stay here at Love Creek! The house was very clean and organized. The pool/garage were the highlight of our trip. The property & landscaping were stunning and meticulously maintained!! Lastly, Aimee and Kip responded to our questions in a timely manner! Definitely planning to return!!!

Thank you so much, Colleen! We’re so glad you loved everything we love about the property. It’s definitely unique. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again!
The pool was wonderful but the water was a bit chilly since our visit was in mid September but it was delightful . The entire outside set up was spectacular from the pool house to the screened on porch and the deck and hot tub. Everything was set up so well.
The property is as advertised! Communication before arrival was on point. The home and all the amenities were great.
Glad we were able to squeeze a quick beach trip in before the start of school.
