My family came in for a wedding in Dover, so we thought it more convenient to rent a house for the weekend. The house is picturesque, comfortable and clean with lovely decor. A coffee bar and a bottle of wine were waiting for us! Such thoughtfulness. Rachel and Jim answered all questions promptly. Across the parking lot is an eatery with excellent seafood and a lively night life. Bowers Beach on the Delaware Bay is a short walk away. We had an enjoyable, relaxing weekend.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The property offered great Wi-Fi, central air to keep us cool and comfortable, and plenty of privacy. The best part was being just steps away from the beach — it made our mornings and evenings so relaxing. Scott, our host, was extremely communicative and helpful, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Everything was exactly as described, and I would definitely stay here again.

Clean, well appointed, beautiful home!

This home is exactly as it is advertised and more! The home is fully stocked to welcome guests from the beach cart and beach towels to the q-tips and cotton balls! Nothing is overlooked! Scott was unbelievably responsive - even more than I expected - and resolved a minor concern within minutes. The big comfy couch was fantastic for all 8 of us (including 5 teens). We played games and watched movies and everyone was nice and cozy! The beach was great for kayaking and fishing - the water temp was 80’s (mulch better than the ocean). I’d recommend water shoes if you’re planning to wade/swim though. Overall we had a great stay at Bowers Beach retreat and I’d highly recommend Scott and Rachel, who truly are “Super hosts!”

Perfect rental for sports parents

Our family of 7 stayed in this beautiful home while attending my daughter’s field hockey tournament at DE Sports Turf. Everyone was blown away by how clean, spacious and well organized the house was. We had room to spread out, cook and relax between games, and everyone rested well in the peaceful rooms. We will absolutely be back again next year!

This was a last minute booking for New Years with my family. From the onset, all communication with Scott was prompt and professional. The property was beautiful and clean while also being close to eateries and groceries if you want to cook/bbq. Will definitely return in the future for a longer stay.

Holiday House

The property was accurate in its pictures and description.It was well stocked and was perfect for our family while visiting with relatives over Christmas. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises, the Bayview bar, and the short walk to the beach. We also met the neighborhood cats several times during our stay. Scott was very easy to communicate with and always responded promptly to any questions or concerns.I would definitely stay there again, possibly during the summer season when there is more going on.

Bowers Beach Getaway LAX Tournament

I hosted four teenage boys for a lacrosse tournament in Frederica. Fields were 10 minutes away. It was great staying in a home vs a hotel. Comfy beds. Responsive host. Accommodated our needs for adjusted check out. Big comfy couch and porches as re relaxing set up. Restaurant and food truck were amazing and had live music both nights in parking lot in front. Charming, sleepy little town. Don't plan on swimming at this beach and bring bug spray in summer. We will be back! Zero complaints

Top secret getaway

We had an event in Dover over the weeked and wanted to stay somewhere close but still have a little adventure and this place hit the spot. The house is spotless and beautifully decorated and made for a great getaway when added to the whole Bowers Beach experience. The history of this area is rich and though it's in the middle of everything it's almost untouched by time. We spent the day at Rehobeth, and nothing against driving in circles for a half hour looking for a parking place, but man coming back here and walking on the silent beach, watching the tiny bay waves lap the sand, seeing the sun turn the sky all the colors over the bay, watching the river flow the opposite direction as the tide comes back in, checking out the food truck and the new outdoor big screen at JP's, it just couldn't have been a better weekend. The house is wonderful, the porch is perfect, it's tremendously clean, and it's a just a stroll across the parking lot for a cold beer and fresh fish. We would absolutely stay here again, next time though we'll skip the boardwalk at RB and just stay here the whole time.
