- "A short drive to the DE Turf, this property was a wonderful place to enjoy our friends and families off the lacrosse fields. Well-appointed, this home had everything from kayaks to kitchen supplies, beach bikes to body wash.Ann is a very attentive property manager who made it easy to arrive, utilize, and depart from this large home with plenty of places to chill and play. The adults used the quiet sun porch, balcony, and deck to work in the mornings as the teens slept in on quiet, cool, and comfortable beds. Every night we had a lot of laughs playing games around the large table and enjoying drinks and dessert - even made s’mores at the fire pit. The bathrooms are all very nice with fluffy towels, excellent water pressure, are neat and clean. A person could create wonderful meals in the kitchen that has everything, and we did, but we also trotted over to Milford and Frederica for dinner a couple nights- easy drive with grocery and liquor stores nearby. My only regret was not staying here on other trips to Delaware! (It is a new VRBO property) It may seem more pricey than Dover or Reehoboth hotels, but we split the house among a few families and considering we ate 2 meals a day there and had all our snacks and entertainment included and had so much comfort and fun, we think it was a value! We have already recommended it to our friends for future trips. "

*Slaughter Beach is a world-famous birding habitat and horseshoe crab sanctuary. You can marvel at the hundreds of bird species including the endangered Red Knot as they stop to feed on horseshoe crab eggs on their way north. Most people thrill at the spectacle while others are a little horrified by the crab's primitive looks. They are completely harmless but can cause the water's edge to be littered with their shells.
*Watch for the just-hatched baby turtles headed to the Marvel Preserve just behind us in early summer. Slaughter Beach is surrounded by wildlife preserves on all three non-water sides. Eagles and Ospreys can be seen nesting at the south end.
***Please note: Slaughter Beach is perfect for nature lovers and anyone that is looking for beauty and a place for peace and quiet. This is a residential beach town and can feel rustic, remote, and deserted for some folks. Others will love being away from the hustle and bustle of the busier beach towns. ***

- "We rented the bottom unit of this house. It was very clean and nicely decorated (beach theme). You couldn't ask for a better location. Walk right outside the back door onto the beach. Yes the water was a little murky but at low tide you can walk real far out and see crabs, whelk and other ocean life. Most days when there was a breeze the black flies didn't bother us. I would suggest bringing big spray for the days you do need it. I would definitely recommend this place - very quiet and secluded. And the best part- you can bring your dog. Our dog was extremely happy to play in the ocean and take walks on the beach. All the locals were super nice too."

Welcome to the Slaughter Beach Lodge. We are pet friendly, kid friendly, sanctuary away from it all. This house offers a multitude of amenities. Downstairs is the original fishing cottage that has been transformed into the game room and hangout space. You will find darts, shuffle board, foosball, poker table and air hockey as well as a chest full of board games. The downstairs kitchenette has a retro dining booth, a working sink, microwave and mini fridge. (rest assured the main kitchen upstairs has everything you need). Also downstairs just off the kitchen is 1 of the 3 bedrooms. This bedroom has a queen bed and a full bed. Just off the game room you'll find a bathroom with a shower plus a full size washer and dryer. The downstairs is the perfect drop zone for all your beach essentials as well as a perfect drop zone for the kids after a long hot day at the beach. Head upstairs by way of the winding spiral staircase or head outside and take the much wider deck stairs to the second story. Upon entering the second story you may think you've entered a different house in the beach lodge's newest addition. You will find a full kitchen, two bedrooms (1 king bed and 1 queen bed), a full bathroom, an expansive living room, and a great dining area with breakfast bar. The views upstairs range from the gorgeous marsh sunsets to glimpses of the bay so you can tell if it's high or low tide. In the living room is a large comfy couch and 2 futons that pull out to full beds. The vaulted ceilings and the endless windows truly make for a beautiful space upstairs.
The beach lodge is conveniently located just two houses down from the Beach Access road. (less than a 5 min walk to the sand)
2020 is our first season hosting our home as a rental property. We are not a large property management company, this a family working hard to bring the Slaughter Beach that we love to you(except for the weeks that we are there!)
About Slaughter Beach:
Slaughter Beach is located on the Delaware Bay. The Beach has small waves and tiny pebbles along the tide lines. The water is great for young children since the waves are small however big kids enjoy it too! Just don't forget your water shoes. We love to search for heart shaped rocks along the sand. During low tide you can walk out into the bay and see what lies beneath.
Slaughter Beach is located in a nature preserve. It is home to ospreys and eagles and many other beautiful shore birds as well as migratory birds. You can walk along the new marvel salt marsh boardwalk and use the stationary binoculars to take a look at the nest and the birds that are nesting. Slaughter beach is most famously known as a home to horseshoe crabs. Every year in spring the horseshoe crabs spawn at the shoreline. You're sure to see tons during springtime, however during the summer you will see them sparingly along the shoreline waiting for you to flip them over so they can scurry back into the water. A few miles down the road is DuPont Nature Center, kids (and adults) love this hands-on showcase of all the local wildlife. If you enjoy bicycling, just down the street across from the saltwater boardwalk you'll find a DIY bike repair station. The majority of the beach town is one single street of homes. This keeps the beach quiet with plenty of room for you spread out your towel. Slaughter Beach draws attention due to it's interesting town name. But upon arrival you are sure to find your newest favorite hidden gem.

- "The Beach Lodge exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and well- organized. The game room was lots of fun, not only having shuffle board and air hockey, but also lots of board games and building toys for children of all ages. The main floor was open with a large table that accommodated our group of nine. The kitchen was equipped with everything you might need to prepare a good dinner. We liked the Dupont Nature Center about 2 miles away and the sunsets over the salt marsh. The horseshoe crabs on the beach were interesting. Our three-year-old granddaughter enjoyed riding her bike on the quiet road in front of the building. A nice place for a family getaway."

Delightful small beach house. Second year as a rental, lovely updates to entire house, comfortable furnishings and Bay views for miles! Fenced area for dogs.
We are Premier Hosts with other Vrbo properties here. Relax and enjoy the 14 miles or so open water of the Delaware Bay out your windows. Waterfront deck with picnic table with lots of seating. Watch the ships at night anchored out in the Bay with their lights on. Enjoy the balmy breezes.
So you know, we do not furnish sheets and towels but have them available as rentals. Also, we have a pet fee of $100 per pet and we have an enclosed area with 3 foot high fencing for them to do their business. We have dogs as members of our family. If you plan to bring a boat we would appreciate it if it is
on the smaller size as we just had another layer of gravel put on our driveway and heavy vehicles don't do well..
Thank you for considering our house at 503 Bay Ave.
We have three properties here. A 4 bedroom house in Prime Hook Beach across the street from Delaware Bay with a fenced in yard and has a king size bed in one bedroom, VRBO 390480, a 3 bedroom house in Slaughter Beach across the street from the Bay with a king bed in one bedroom, VRBO 4486647 and this house.

Dogs loved it and the beach is so quiet." - "We had an amazing time with our family staying at Ron's property. We had everything we needed, the place was very clean, and the views were simply amazing. Loved drinking coffee in the morning from the deck, and watching the watermen work their boats. We enjoyed the fishing and crabbing, and our trips were very successful! Newly renovated public boat ramps are less than 5 mins of this property which is so convenient if you want to launch your boat. Beaches are withinin a 1/2 hr drive +/-, which the kids loved as well. We could not have had a more enjoyable and relaxing time."

What a quaint and quiet place and we were close to everything! We stayed in unit C and it was large enough for the 4 of us and the air conditioning worked great! The unit is decorated nicely and contained everything we needed. Wifi signal strength was a bit weak in unit C but it didn't bother us. Bed in bedroom was comfy but mattress in sofa bed needs replacing. Other than that we had a great time and I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking to stay in the Milford area."

- "Blown away by how great this house/property was upon arrival. The owner answered all of our questions-and there were a lot. It was perfect for our family of seven. Recommend the town of Milton for groceries and local restaurants. Quick drive to Lewes for charter fishing as well. We can’t thank the owners enough for the great vacation we had at their home." - "Slaughter beach was a wonderful secluded getaway. The cottage’s location was perfect for stepping right down to the beach as often as we wanted."

- "Great location! Short walk to beach, next to community tennis court and playground. Nice beach decor, spacious, open floor plan, very relaxing property. Good communication with the owner. Would definitely rent again." - "We all loved our stay and this beautifully spacious home!!! We especially loved being so close to the beach!!!! It was the perfect place for a perfect wedding weekend. Thank you!!" - "Salt marshes and quiet bay beach away from stores and restaurants mark this stay. This beach is nice for walks, looking for weathered stones, away from crowds. No surf while we were there and lots of horseshoe crabs. Other beaches nearby seemed more appealing for swimming. Quick drive to Rehoboth, Lewes, Milton and Milford for shopping and restaurants. The screened porch was nice to look out over the salt marsh. No view of the beach, but it is across the street."

- "The property was clean with quality linen for the beds and 4 TVs in total. It’s only a few steps from a dog friendly beach. It has the basics you would need for your stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, if you want to cook larger meals or special meals get your own utensils but what they have is generally enough.The cottage even had biscuits for dogs as well as four dog bowls. It’s quite cozy and relaxing. They also had a few games for the evening. The terrace on the top was closed but they had another one next to the garage. We could imagine to come back next year."

Welcome to the family friendly community of Slaughter beach, DE where the preferred mode of transportation by the locals is a bicycle or a golf cart, so slow your roll and acclimate. Please feel free to bring yours along and be ready to sharpen your hand signaling skills.
Make the best of your time indoors and outdoors with the amenities at this updated home which sits on 3/4 of an acre of beach front property with unobstructed views. The U-shaped driveway provides ample space for parking pretty much anything (non-commercial) on wheels. A two car garage is also available for keeping your vehicle out of the elements. A 40A EV car charger (about 30miles for each hour of charging) is also available in the garage for your convenience.
For the water sports enthusiast, there's plenty of room to launch your kayak, a day sailer or even a catamaran. There's also a public boat ramp a stones throw away (yeah, you would need a pretty strong arm) to launch your jet ski, sloop or any motorized boat. For those who travel light, there are a couple of kayaks available to suit the occasion.
The inside features all the modern amenities and conveniences to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen features granite countertops with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and garbage disposal. You’ll never run out of hot water in the 2 newly remodeled spa-like bathrooms because of the tankless water heater with enough suds to spare on account of the whole house water softener. Both bathrooms also feature towel warmers and heated flooring for those nippy days. LED lighted mirrors are also available to shave or put your makeup on.
With 5 distinct outdoor sitting spaces, you can have your pick to suit the mood or the occasion. There’s a screened porch with water views, attached to an open deck with glass balusters with same unobstructed water views. For the early risers, these 2 spots on the east side of the property are perfect for watching the sunrise. Below deck is a wrap around brick patio with an informal outdoor shower to wash yourself off if engaged in any outdoor activities. Around the corner is a “Green Egg” charcoal grill for the grill aficionado, so get ready to put your grill on.
For the sunset lovers, there’s a dedicated deck on the west side of the property available for the occasion.
- "The host was very responsive, easy to reach and helpful. The house is all you need in a very convenient location. I would happily go back again." - "This fabulous home is the best rental we've ever experienced. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch, listening to the birds and enjoying the view of the Delaware Bay. Our hosts were fabulous too. So responsive and helpful. Will always remember it fondly! Yes, it was and is Nirvana! Thank you Abu!"

- "It is in perfect condition and has everything one needs for a relaxing time on the beach" - "I needed a few days away from home and this was the great place for it. The beach was pretty easy to get to maybe 3 minute walk, and that's where I spent most of my time. There's no grocery shopping in the immediate area or any tourists, thank God, but then I was here in January. It was great and quiet and perfect thank you" - "Had a good time, would book again if we are in the area again. Place is exactly as described!"

This delightful waterfront cottage is available for rent throughout the year. You can enjoy picturesque beachfront water views from nearly every room in the house. The cottage is furnished luxuriously, creating a serene and relaxing environment that feels like your own private oasis. It is situated near Rehoboth Beach, DE, widely known for its boardwalk and numerous activities, events, outlet shopping malls, concert venues, and restaurants. We take immense pride in ensuring that your stay is perfect. We have a well-stocked kitchen and provide various beach toys, boogie boards, life jackets, paddle boards, chairs, and exceedingly comfortable furniture and beds with 1800 thread count sheets.
The open floor plan, with a four-season sunroom, is the primary attraction of this cottage. It offers breathtaking water views and direct and quick access to the beach and the expansive Delaware Bay. You will fall in love with the sound of the waves breaking against the beautiful wide sandy beach, curling up with a great book, or just enjoying long naps on the Sunbrella swing at the top of the dune. While you are here, you can observe the thriving Purple Martin community in their five high-rise birdhouse condos that clearly love the beach, too, and will tell you all about it! From sunrise to sunset, you will be surrounded by beauty. Wake up to the aroma of coffee from our coffee bar, enjoy stunning sunrises over the water, the sound of seagulls, herons, and egrets dancing along the coastline, and perhaps even spot dolphins frolicking for breakfast. If you love long, relaxing walks, this is the perfect beachcomber's paradise with wide sandy beaches and shells - sometimes even sea glass. A large 30x12 stone patio provides ample room to enjoy the outdoors, cookout, or enjoy late-night conversation under the stars by the firepit. The indoors are stylishly decorated and comfortable. Enjoy meals together in the sunroom dining area that seats eight, play board games and puzzles with loved ones, or take long, dreamy naps on our lounge chairs with two full-length massagers that melt your stress away while the sound of the water lulls you to sleep. If you're looking for a vacation spot where you can easily work remotely, we've got you covered. Our accommodations include high-speed Wi-Fi and two fully equipped workstations. Each workstation has two large monitors, laptop stands, a mouse, a keyboard, and a webcam (available only in the loft). Our universal docking stations make it easy to connect all your devices without any hassle. Simply plug in, and you're good to go!
This cottage is ideal for a quiet and peaceful spot on your own beach, unlike the busy crowds at the main beach attractions. Our cottage is located in Slaughter Beach, but it could be called Sanctuary Beach because of the nature reserve surrounding the area, featuring the world-renowned horseshoe crab migration and red knot arctic bird migration. We have even been known to have baby turtles on our patio. Whether planning the perfect vacation with family, a romantic getaway, a friend's get-together, shopping at the Tanger Outlets, or working remotely, nothing beats the sound and sights of sparkling water and birds to make your holiday or workday more enjoyable. Spend some time at Captains' Cottage - your perfect Delaware beach rental.
- "Nice quiet location with excellent facilities, well labeled cabinets with all the accessories!" - "We had a wonderful time during our stay at this beachside cottage. It was very clean, and very well set up for guests -- we had everything we needed for our visit, including a well stocked kitchen that made it easy to cook meals. The house is lovely and comfortable, and we absolutely loved the all-weather room with ocean views. The beach is just steps from the house, and there are lots of options for enjoying it, from beach chairs to kayaks. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere very much. We brought our two small dogs, and it was a great setup for dog owners -- our pups had a lovely time. We look forward to coming back!"

- "We rented this house for two families that were playing lacrosse at the DE Turf. Great location 15-17 min from the field. The house is gorgeous, new and well stocked. The kitchen/living room is on the third floor. Open layout, great view of the sunset. The kitchen had everything you could think of for preparing meals. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and plush bedding. The bedrooms and bathrooms are XL. The upper deck is another great spot. Unfortunately, We were only there for 3 nights and gone a good bit. Emily the owner was easy to communicate with and hassle free check in and check out. The only negative is the beach is 1-2 miles away. Bikes were provided but we were there in the 95 degree heat of July and it was buggy. I’m sure other months are better. We did drive down to Rehoboth which was a nice. Traffic is usually busy during the summer when driving to Rehoboth. The house is as advertised. Great times."

About this space
Charming bayside/beach home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in quiet Slaughter Beach, DE. This is the vacation spot for you if you are looking peace and quiet in a kinder, gentler rustic community. Bikes and Nature have the right of way in this sleepy town.
The space
379 Bay is a unique, 2 story home raised high and built on pillars allowing for privacy throughout as well as incredible views of the Delaware Bay. 3 bedrooms and 2 Full Baths. Main level features dining room, kitchen, living room with great views of the bay and a "secret" 3rd bedroom alongside the stairs with a sofa bed/futon that sleeps one comfortably, two when open to full bed. Loveseat in the living room and a full bath with shower also on main level with washer and dryer.
Second floor features two bedrooms and one newly renovated full bath with huge tiled shower. Bedroom 1 has a king size bed with unobstructed views of the bay and Bedroom 2 has a queen bed with balcony.
Bed Linens, towels and basic supplies such as soap are all included. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, silverware, spices etc. but naturally you will need to bring your food for meals. Also included are a washer and dryer, microwave, electric stove, drip coffee maker, central heating and air conditioning, dishwasher and refrigerator and outdoor gas grill. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off sand and salt. Flat screen/smartTV with basic cable service, Blue Ray player, radio, CD player and secure internet. Kids games and sand toys.
Our home is a BAY/beach front home allowing for loads of activities. It is directly located on the Delaware Bay with Private access to the bay and sandy beach. The small lapping waves are easy for young ones to negotiate and wade while enjoying the water.
The Cedar Creek Marina, with access to the Mispillion River leading to the Delaware Bay, is just minutes away and can be contacted for fishing trips. There is also a FREE public boat launch across the river on Lighthouse Road which is run by the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Within easy biking distance (2.8 miles) is the DuPont Nature Center, an eco tourism destination, with tours and hands-on activities for children and adults. Only a six minute drive on Lighthouse Road or 15 minute bike ride.
There are numerous public access parking areas all along the two miles of the main road, Bay Avenue, (ANY named road has public beaches). The beach next to the Fire Dept. has restrooms and a new shaded picnic gazebo. There is a children's playground along with tennis and basketball courts next just across from the main beach. Next door is the Fire House which occasionally has events.
Biking and roller blading is a favorite activity on Bay Avenue since there are no cross streets, so it is relatively safe. Please feel free to bring your own bikes. Keep in mind, Delaware requires children to wear helmets.
Take a long walk on the uncrowded strand or jog the main Bay Avenue. Fishing, sea glass and shell collecting and a yearly regatta for small boats is held every July 4th.
Slaughter Beach is a world famous birding habitat. You can marvel at the hundreds of bird species including the endangered Red Knot as they stop to feed on Horse Shoe crab eggs on their way north. Most people thrill at the spectacle while others are a little horrified by the crab's primitive looks. They are completely harmless but can cause the water's edge to be a littered with their shells.
Watch for the just hatched baby turtles headed to the Marvel Preserve just behind us in early summer. Slaughter Beach is surrounded by preserves to all three non water sides and Eagles can be seen nesting at the south end.
The charming town of Milford is six miles inland on a relaxing country road with every store you could need to outfit your vacation. There you can find a local cafe/ice cream shops, liquor stores, antique shops, art galleries, specialty shops, drug stores, department stores, and many restaurants. Milford is a year round community much like Rehoboth Beach. Milford is also home to the newly opened Bay Health Hospital and Medical Center.
The quaint town of Lewes, Delaware is a short drive of 15 minutes in the off season. Also don't miss hip Rehoboth Beach (25 miles) which is about a half hour drive in the off season and longer on crowded summer weekends. Movies at Midway are only 15 minutes on Route 1.
Please note: Slaughter Beach is perfect for nature lovers and anyone that is looking for beauty and a place to give yourself peace of mind. This is a rustic area which can be remote and deserted feeling for some folks.
