Another great stay!

This past trip marks our 4th stay at this property! It is always amazing! The cleaning crew does an amazing job and the house is always spotless on arrival. I have noticed that there are always somw changes and upgrades made to the home and property over the years. It is cozy yet spacious enough for myself,spouse, our 3 kids, and dog! The neighborhood is wonderful; we love riding our bikes to the community pool and playground. The back deck is my absolute favorite spot as it overlooks the canal and dock- sitting out there with a morning cup of coffee is blissful! We hope to continue to rent this amazing place for future vacations!

Perfect Sanctuary

Have vacationed in Rehoboth for over 20 years and this was my first stay a bit away from the beach. It was perfect. Right on the water within minutes from all the action. With all the calm of a gated community full of amenities. My family loved it and we will return soon.

Beautiful place

My husband dog and I really enjoyed the stay . We were able to launch our kayaks from the pier which was very convenient and we bought our bikes. And our favorite place to eat was the long neck dinner meals were very good and affordable. We will definitely visit again 😊

A cozy place with a wonderful view

The place is on the water front and has a fantastic view from the back porch. The host responds quickly and is very accommodating. The house does have the capacity of 7 berths — 2 queen beds and a bunk bed with lower full-size bed — but the bedrooms are rather small and the living room and kitchen both have limited space. If you plan on traveling in a group bigger than 4, please consider this space limitations. The master en-suite bathroom had a nice and huge tub, but unfortunately it didn’t have shower, so the three of us shared one shower in the hall bathroom during our stay. Overall the place offered a nice, relaxing home base for my family of three to spend a lovely weekend together.

Nice Place

It was lovely to wake up and look out the window at the sun glinting on the ripples of the water. It's a cozy little place that would be even better during a warm weather stay.

Angola by the bay

Property was exactly what we were looking for, very nice, quiet community with all the amenities and easy launch for our kayaks. Our dog loved the trails through the community. Melissa was a fantastic hostess and quickly responded to any questions we had. Would love to stay there again. We were sad to leave!

On Love Creek with beautiful Views

I stayed 10 days in April 2023 with my 2 dogs to get away after my husband passed. I’m so happy I chose this house! The views of Love Creek was just what I needed. The views of Love Creek ( more like a large lake) was lovely from decks and inside home. Took pictures of the surrounding nest almost every night. It had absolutely everything I needed to make meals. There were also some great places to eat plus a Wawa about 5 minutes away. It was also an easy trip to downtown Lewes and Rehoboth. This is a gated community with friendly neighbors and was perfect for walking my 2 dogs. Never an issue with the gates. I only had 1 call with owner who picked up on second ring and was wonderful answering my question. I’m highly recommend this home. Next time we rent here I’ll bring my kayak to launch from community dock. The dock is in the backyard and is an an easy launch. Thanks for Hosting Piper, Zoe, and me.

Lovely Property and Dog Friendly

We had a great stay at this conveniently located, dog-friendly property over Thanksgiving. The home had everything we needed the community was very quaint. I would highly recommend a stay here! The information provided before we checked in was very helpful and we felt very safe while we were there. Thanks for letting us get in early to unpack - very helpful considering how much food we brought along!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Davey

Host profile image
Hi everyone! My name is Melissa. My co-owner Heather and I are excited to own this great house on the water! Both Heather and I were born and raised in the tri-state area. In my other life, I'm a real estate agent in the ND/DC/VA area. Heather has a fascinating history in Vet Physical Therapy and drumming.

Why they chose this property

Heather and I found this house and fell in love with the tranquil waterfront, all while close to beaches and surrounding beauty. Being steps away from the water, Heather and I love kayaking and paddle boarding and recognized this as an ideal place to launch our gear. We saw a lot of potential in the house and are actively trying to modernize the property for everyone's stay.

What makes this property unique

Kayaks and paddleboards can be launched down at the other end of the community.
