About this property

Lovely/peaceful setting; Clean/comfortable home; Pleasant Pool; Long/Short Stays

We invite you to enjoy your vacation at "The Small Easy", an inviting, quiet, and pleasant vacation home tucked away from the crowds within a peaceful, private small marina community located on the scenic Indian River. Located 16 miles from Delaware Beaches, The Small Easy is close to just about everything and nestled in the lovely community of Gull Point. This pleasant two story townhouse is clean, comfortable, sleeps up to eight, and includes two full baths. The complete kitchen includes all needed cooking and serving utensils, and the home is also equipped with a clothes washer and dryer. Flat screen cable TV and Fios broad-band internet is installed. Outdoor living is available on the upper deck (with a slight view of the bay), a first floor screen room, and a deck for an open-air evening meal or chat beneath the stars.
~ With full amenities, this sweet spot is a stone’s throw away from the pool, and a 4 minute walk to the Marina for stunning panoramic views of the ever-changing river and nearby parkland. Shopping, dining out, and all ocean-side state parks are a reasonable drive.
~ If fishing is your sport, Gull Point is right on the Indian River and has great fishing and crabbing..
~ If you like deep sea fishing, you're 8 miles by boat to the Indian River inlet and immense Atlantic Ocean with some of the best fishing grounds on the East Coast.
~ If you love water sports, bring your speed boat for skiing and tubing, and your jet skis, kite boards, windsurfers, kayaks, canoes, or sailboats!
~ If you like to surf, the North Shore of the Indian River Inlet and Cape Henlopen are some of the best surfing on the East Coast and are 15-20 miles away by car. Ocean City and Assateague, also famed for surfing, are about an hour away.
~ If you love to golf, you are 5 miles to 20 miles from some of the most beautiful courses in the region. The breathtaking Baywood Greens Golf is 4.2 miles away!
~ Rosedale Beach Public Boat Launch - Right next door
~ In addition, within 15-20 miles from the Small Easy are the Delaware State Park beaches with open spaces, fantastic fishing from beach or jetty, and some of the best surfing on the east coast..
~ With something for everyone, also 15 miles away, discover the one-of-a kind Cape Henlopen Delaware State Park. This gem has guarded ocean beaches with bath houses and also separate primitive fishing and surfing beaches. In addition, Henlopen has an area with wide open bay views and a shallow bay-water swimming beach, perfect for nature lovers and young children. Also in Henlopen State Park, discover the fascinating World War II Fort Myers museum complete with bunkers, barracks, artillery, and a 60 foot observation tower with amazing views which is open to the public. In addition, there is great kayaking in the Delaware bay which has a light house and jetty to explore (last time we kayaked there, dolphins were swimming all around us!) a nature center, loads of biking and hiking trails, and a large fishing pier. The Cape May ferry, which makes aa great day-trip, is right next to Cape Henlopen.
~ The Gull Point Marina is being rebuilt this year, so boats can be launched from the Delaware State Park boat ramp directly next door to Gull Point. From your boat you can explore a variety of striking water settings and landscapes along the Indian River and its tributaries, the Rehobeth and Indian River bays, the vast Atlantic ocean (about 8 miles away), and also the Holt Landing and Delaware State parks.
~ Also, if you just want to get away from it all, put your feet up and relax - this is the place. Peaceful views abound, and the Small Easy is a place to slow down, rest, and rejuvenate your soul.
~ For those who like the 'happening' beach towns, Rehobeth Beach is about 15 miles away from the house and has a boardwalk, various restaurants, shopping etc. A series of outlet malls is nearby as well.
~ In addition, the historic town of Lewes is about a 15 mile drive from the Small Easy as well, where within a half-square mile you will find the Historic district, museums, shops, and fine restaurants.

Stay here at the Small Easy, and get lost in the area's beautiful abundance!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff & Dorothy Hughes

Host profile image
Our family has gratefully enjoyed this wonderful retreat and has made lasting memories here since 1990. We have 7 adult children who grew up enjoying the Small Easy while surfing, crabbing, playing soccer and ultimate frisbee, relaxing and playing games in the pool after long days at the beach, kayaking and exploring nearby Delaware Park waters. Together we lingered over sunsets and sunrises along the river, played card games and completed puzzles, laughed, and told family stories. We treasured the time, space, and peaceful, though adventurous atmosphere to bond together with family and friends away from the busyness back home. We truly hope your stay at The Small Easy is as refreshing, memorable, and uplifting as it has been for us these many years!

Why they chose this property

Grandma bought this property in 1990 and our families have grown up appreciating this gem on the Indian River, fully reveling in the beauty of Gull Point, local beaches, and the numerous activities around the area in all seasons of the year.

What makes this property unique

The Small Easy is tucked away into a quiet marina community located on the beautiful Indian River, is reasonably priced, has a lovely pool, and is close to just about everything one could desire for a vacation.
