What an amazing and relaxing vacation on the beach! We loved staying at Beth's cottage in Salem (Oakwood Beach) with our 2-year old daughter and two dogs. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean, and being right on the beach with direct access to the water was a huge plus. We loved taking the dogs for walks on the beach, and our daughter loved collecting rocks and shells. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful as well. This was exactly what we were looking for with a calm and remote family getaway on the beach, and we can't wait to come back and stay again!

We stayed in Beth’s cozy beachfront home while playing in local lax tournament and it was perfect. We loved the quaintness and seclusion of the property, its pricing, and the ability to walk out and immediately fish the river. Book it — you won’t be disappointed!

Hidden Gem

What an amazing and cozy little cottage with awesome views of the Delaware river. Beth was wonderful and thought of everything! From the comfortable beds to the fine linens and bedding, Beth had it covered. The home is well appointed, very clean, and located towards the end of a quiet and peaceful dead-end street. Our three dogs felt right at home; we were thrilled to find such a quaint place that allowed us to bring them along. We highly recommend Beth’s cottage and we would definitely book again in the future! Thank you for sharing your home with us 3

The views are amazing, you can't get any closer to the water. The house is adorable, spacious and has a lot of extras to make you feel welcome. Beth is a great host and responds very quickly to any questions. This was our second visit and plan on going again in the spring.

Cute Cottage on Delaware River

Had a wonderful time at Beth’s cottage. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. She has everything you need for your stay. Just bring your clothes and food. The family came and stayed for a night. We had a campfire at watched the beautiful sunset. It was fun walking along the beach and watching the tanker and freight ships 🚢 go up and down the Delaware.
