About this property

Welcome to our Summer House. We are in the quaint water front community of Slaughter Beach; located at the south side of the Delaware Bay. Our hope is that you will make wonderful, lasting family memories as we have done over the years. Come and enjoy the lazy days of times past with the backdrop of beautiful, color filled sunrises and quiet sun drenched evenings. The water’s edge is only 70 feet from our cottage and the gentle waves are perfect for children and grandparents alike.

From our living room savor the 180 degree view of the vast Delaware Bay. The summer house is fully furnished; complete with two bedrooms including queen size beds, one queen size pullout sofa, two full bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and outside shower. If you want more adventure bring along your kayak. During high tide enjoy swimming and fishing from the shore. During low tide wander the flats, exploring all the bay has to offer up close.

The recently renovated Cedar Creek Marina is only 5 minutes away. Here you will find beautiful boat ramps, easy on/off boat launch spaces and parking to accommodate large trucks and trailers. Spend the day or week boating on the bay, sunbathing, fishing or both. There is a small, one time fee for boating on the bay and may be purchased at Cedar Creek Marina.

Within the Slaughter Beach community, just a 10 minute walk away, a newly installed playground for children, pickle ball court and a small boardwalk that overlooks the marsh and its abundant bird life.

The Summer House is close to many Delaware activities and popular hot spots. Only 35 minutes south on Rt 1 you can enjoy the historic Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk with its popular shopping and hip dining. Or visit the historic town of Lewes with it’s small, old town atmosphere, unique shopping and restaurants. Lewes is home to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Explore the southern tip of the Cape May, NJ peninsula with its boutique shopping and signature restaurants for wonderful day trip. Only 35 minutes north on Rt 1 you can enjoy the Dover Air Force Base & Museum, Dover Downs Casino or Dover International Speedway. Then return to Slaughter Beach to slow down and relax.

So grab your swimsuit, sunglasses, a good book and enjoy making new memories in Slaughter Beach at The Summer House.

I had a little trouble understanding the description of where the rental was located, but it was behind the building actually labeled as the address provided, and the driveway was on the right of the address. Jennifer called me as soon as I indicated I was havinpeaceful

Perfect little beach bungalow

The cottage/ bungalow was just as described. Great amenities in the home. And the view, as you walk in the door, Is simply stunning! Home was very, very clean and I appreciated that so much! Other positives: The closest town of Milford was only attend to 15 minute drive away with some surprisingly fabulous restaurants and an amazing movie theater! There’s a Walmart in town so finding last-minute necessities was no problem. My husband and I also recently started playing Pickleball and I was thrilled to see that there was a freshly painted pickle ball court just a 10 minute walk down the road. We also enjoyed a 10 minute walk to a little boardwalk in A nearby Marsh to watch the sunset one evening – what a delight! Lewes Beach, about 25 minutes away in good traffic, Was a beautiful beach! And the downtown area had some pretty stellar restaurants And a charming downtown vibe. We also like to do indoor bouldering, and the gym in Rehoboth was state of the art with a small bouldering area as well as a climbing wall. That was a lovely find. Overall, our week at the Milford property was just what we’d hoped it would be. Only downside was the drive down to Lewis and Rehoboth could be challenging on HWY 1 because of traffic. And also on the upside – Jenifer was extremely responsive and usually got back to me within minutes of my sending a question. Very much appreciated that as well!

Beautiful & clean stay

Very beautiful property and extremely clean! The host was very nice and helpful. This house is about a half an hour from the Dover Motor Speedway. We had tickets for the race, but wanted to stay somewhere outside of Dover with a nice beach vibe. This beach house exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the walk way in the back of the house for immediate access to the sand and water. My fiancé, his farher, and I would all recommend this property!

WONDERFUL COTTAGE

Best vacation in years! Just steps to the beach and oh so quiet!! Many restaurant choices just a short drive away. This slice of beach is a hidden gem. The cottage was PERFECT! Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and very nice living space. We even saved a few horseshoe crabs. Can’t wait to go back!

Perfect for a Peaceful Getaway

Prior to this, my wife and I always made Slaughter Beach a side trip from Rehoboth to scout for fossils and kayak. This time we stayed four days and loved every minute! It is such a quiet and peaceful place and the house is perfect for reading, relaxing, and wandering onto the beach whenever you want. Great food and entertainment are only 25 minutes away in Lewes and Rehoboth, but you don’t have to fight traffic or deal with rowdy crowds. We never wanted to leave. The best alarm clock in the world is the sunrise shining over the bay and peeping in the back windows of the house.

Weekend getaway

This property was so perfect for what we needed!! Beautiful little cottage right on the water. Brought my daughter down to attend the 2022 Firefly Festival in Dover. I attended some of the festival, too, but also had downtime here at this “breath of fresh air” beach escape. Exactly what I wanted - to be able to sit and drink my coffee and look at the water. And the owner was very sweet, responsive, easy to contact. Thank you for a great stay!!
