Perfect location and accomadations. We had a great stay at this beach house. The location was a short walk to the beach and having the bay water access in the back yard was so relaxing. The neighborhood was quiet but still close enough to restaurants, shops etc...This was an ideal spot to unwind and relax. Thank you!

Nice place!

We had a great week in Fenwick Island. Quick walk to the beach, nice quiet street on the canal, and Nick was very responsive when we thought we had an HVAC issue (which turned out to be our own user error). Beds were comfortable and the place was nice and clean when we arrived. Thank you!

The kitchen was well stocked, the water just outside the back door was amazing, the two hvac units made it comfortable for everyone temperature-wise. The host was responsive when I had a question.

We had a great stay! The house was exactly as described. It was roomy with so many great amenities, including everything you need for the beach or a relaxing day in the house. It’s close enough to walk to restaurants, shopping and putt putt but also it is just far enough down the street that there was no road noise. And being allowed to bring our dogs was the icing on the cake!Nick was extremely friendly and responsive to any questions we had and he was incredibly accommodating when we lost power for a few hours due to the weather. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to visit again next summer.

Fenwick Island Made Easy

Nick’s home made for an easy and relaxing family visit to Fenwick Island. Tucked on a quiet street yet steps away from both the beach and shops/restaurants means there is something for everyone. Even more, Nick generously provides everything you might need for a comfortable beach visit - chairs, umbrella, etc. The home itself is comfortable and perfect for family movie/game nights. Check in and communication were a breeze. We hope to visit again!

The home is so much bigger than we expected! Great location, convenient to the beach too! Cooking was so easy there and tons of pots & pans! The grill was also amazing, but we did have to fill the propane. No problem at all, so it should last awhile for the next few guests. Nick was very responsive when we had a few questions while we were there! Neighbors are very nice too! Great stay!!! Thanks again Nick

Clean and well cared for. An older home, about half updated, but all clean and well taken care of. Plenty of space for our group of 8-9 family members. Quiet street with easy access to beach, sound, shops and food. Nice deck and backyard on a canal with kayaks and fishing available right there. Owners were responsive and helpful.

Nice home on quiet street in Fenwick. Home was clean, bathrooms are updated, kitchen is functional. Owner was responsive. The house was great for our family of 6. 4 teenagers each had their own bedroom. Close to where we wanted to be and quiet.

Wonderful stay at this CLEAN cottage. Modern bats and kitchen. Bonus we didn’t have to pack sheets and towels. House is large with only a 4 minute walk to the beach. Everything you need for the beach and bay is in the shed. Brand new beach chairs were a plus! 1/2 mile walk to ice cream, mini golf, Waterpark and may restaurants and shops. You won’t be disappointed with this rental. Owner was accessible and very accommodating.

The house location is great and is an easy walk to the beach. The rooms were nice and the common areas of the living room, dining room, kitchen and enclosed porch were spacious. The home was clean. We appreciate how quickly the host reacted to us getting locked out of the house. This said, there were a number of annoyances with the home. The rear door lock was broken, the water pressure in the shower was low, the master bedroom bed sagged very badly on one side, and it was tricky to setup the temperature of the home with all of the thermostats.

Perfect location, good vibes

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. The location is perfectly situated in the middle of Fenwick Island…we could walk everywhere (walking to High Tide coffee one block north was my favorite). The house was clean and the linens seemed new. My three daughters all enjoyed having their own bedrooms. The house had everything we needed—nice deck, games, puzzles, kitchen stuff, beach chairs and toys, and a double kayak. The neighbors were friendly and Nick (the owner) was helpful and responsive over messaging and text. The house had a nice and pleasant vibe. I think the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures.
