Great stay!
We stayed with 3 teens and two adults for a lacrosse weekend at DE Turf. This was a great location for us and it was perfect for our needs. It’s well-maintained, and Gabriel was very responsive. It’s well-appointed, clean, and right on the river with JP’s Wharf right next door for a restaurant option.
We would definite stay here again!

Cute little beach getway
This property is really cute! It was very clean & the house was well taken care of. We LOVED the deck, especially being right along the river (you cannot swim in the river because of the current). There were a decent amount of people boating, jet sking, kayaking so it was fun people watching. Loved how we were within walking distance to the beach & JP Wharfs, that's about all there is to do so if you're looking for lowkey this is the place!!

Exceptional Host — DE Turf Field
Two weeks’ worth of back-to-back tournaments at the Delaware Turf Field would have meant a ridiculou$$ (and cramped and smelly) hotel stay or a daily from nearly an hour away each way. No thanks.
This was a better value with more space, more amenities and an inviting, well-equipped dock.
Neighbors were friendly, fish were biting, seafood and cold beer just steps away.
Best part? The host team. Super responsive to every question. Everything as expected — some things even nicer than expected.
Our goals were a clean space to sleep, cook, wash, relax, recharge and restock between lacrosse games. Not much happening in this tiny town other than that. But it met our needs perfectly.
If you’re looking for a short drive to the fields and a little extra room to spread out, this house is the place.
