PROFESSIONAL CLEANING BETWEEN GUESTS - Our licensed professional cleaning company will go into the house between guests to properly disinfect all primary surfaces including door knobs and handles, light switches, bathrooms, sinks, telephone, remotes and other surfaces. We also have an adequate supply of disinfecting wipes available as long as our good guests use conservatively and leave unused for the next guests (and we almost always have wonderful guests). We ask guests to leave the house as clean as they found it when arriving so the cleaners can focus on disinfecting well.

Bookings for 2023 will be opened in January, 2023 as we have many repeat guests who have the first option for prime summer weeks.

Best stay... what a gem!

We had a fantastic stay at this bright, open home in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood! We love this area and this is our favorite home here so far. The house was very clean and comfortable with a great view of the canal, which our dog just loved to see the kayaks, pontoon boats and geese go by! It had great wifi and a fully stocked kitchen. It was so nice to have all the little extras provided to get us started, like coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. Location was great; off the main strip but close enough to get to beaches, restaurants and shops in minutes. John provided great information and was VERY responsive to all our questions. He made it so easy to check in and get ourselves settled. Looking forward to staying again!

Family beach vacation.

We were comfortable from the minute we stepped into the house! All of our needs were met. The beach was minutes away as were the restaurants. When we cooked the kitchen was well appointed. We are looking forward to next year!

Great Time at the Beach

We stayed at John's place for a family getaway. It was close to everything! And a 5 minute drive to the beach, We enjoyed hanging out by the water and relaxing. The house had everything we needed plus more. Plus we were lucky enough to see a rocket launch and 2 pass overs by the ISS. I'd definitely recommend it.

The pictures Lie. This place is Beautiful and cozy!!!!!

We came down for a basketball tournament. When the owner says you don’t need to bring anything but sheets and towels, they mean it. This home is beautiful, warm (not in temperature) and cozy. The view is breathtaking and neighbors are kind. Its about a 5 min drive to the beach. Our pups were very much at home. I will be going back

Wonderful property for all ages!

Wonderful, gem of a property in Fenwick Island! We loved the beauty of being on the canal, use of the kayaks and excellent location to the beach, mini golf and more! The owner is very thoughtful with attention to details that you won't find in other rentals. House was clean, well stocked and much more beautiful in person than the pictures depict!

Decent place, but property manager lied, unresponsive, and left a sour taste in our mouth

Nice location, kayaks were a bonus, great view out back. Somewhat small house, but good size for a single family. Walking on the gravel barefoot outside everywhere is painful. The bathroom under-mount sink cracked while we were there, we let the host know right away. What followed was an unacceptable customer experience. The property manager made false claims like we drank the host's wine, stained the carpet, used house supplies without replacing them, and didn't leave the house clean. We don't even drink wine, didn't open a single bottle. We did use a spare toothbrush because we forgot one, but we immediately replaced it with a new one. The host kept the damage deposit and also claimed $300 from the property damage insurance. Upon asking for an itemized list of the amounts deducted and justification, the host has yet to respond after over a week. I don't understand how the sink could have cracked, but as we told the host, I can understand requesting us to pay for a ~$50 sink and even ~$100 install cost since it occurred while we were there. However, the amount of damages, that the host is claiming, is inflated significantly. The property listing states professional cleaning between guests, but that does not appear to be the case. For example, when we arrived, the refrigerator had a fair amount of food left in it, showers had used soap, etc. Upon leaving, the property manager emailed us saying we "left the house very dirty". However, we swept, did the dishes, wiped down all surfaces, made the beds, even arranged the pillows, etc. Our dog is well trained and had zero accidents while we were there. We took care of the house like it was our own, we did not leave it dirty, and a professional cleaner would have had an easy job after us. Since the property manager still complained about cleanliness, I suspect a full professional cleaning is not actually done between guests. The host's communication, or lack thereof, and the damages reported do not accurately portray how we treated the house. If you stay here, I recommend planning to not get the damage deposit returned and clean significantly before checking out.

We loved that we were on a canal and could sit on the deck and gaze at the water. I'm afraid of jellyfish, so I declined to take the kayak out, but most people wouldn't be so wimpy! Fantastic vacation!

Boat-up access and a great family-friendly house

John was a great host. We communicated frequently before our arrival and he was available to answer questions. Great location convenient to Food Lion and the local beaches. We launched our boat at the Bayville Marina and docked at the house in the canal. Water in the canal is calm and plenty deep enough for our 20ft deck boat and allowed us quick access to the bay. We used the house's crab traps to catch just enough crabs in three nights to have a few nice crab cakes during the last day. House is well equipped with kitchen essentials. Great chef-quality knives too! Looking forward to a return trip.

About the host

Hosted by John Lee

Semi-retired, I am a licensed Washington DC tour guide who enjoys golf and snow skiing when I am not guiding. I had worked in the hospitality industry for 40 years including over 25 years with the Marriott corporation. Because of that, my objective is that our guests have a great "turn key" stay. We also enjoy domestic and international travel and spend much of the non-summer months at the beach house sampling the great local cuisine at off season prices.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this house because it is a very quiet and relaxed waterfront location but conveniently located from many attractions and the ocean. Originally I was enticed by a close friend who lives year round on the street but since, have developed several other friends who live there year round. We have great neighbors and about half of the block are people who live there year round.

What makes this property unique

As a single story home, it has all the amenities I need including a quiet deck overlooking adjoining canals. On a dead end street between two canals, you can walk to Harpoon Hannah's. Papa Grande's, Catch 54 and more but you are still tucked away from the main highways. We try to make sure the house is fully stocked with your daily needs to include toilet paper, paper towles, foils, baggies, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, spices and cooking needs. We suggest guests come to the house before hitting the crowded grocery stores.
