Panoramic views of Delaware Bay

Such a perfectly peaceful week.

We have been coming here for 10 years. It is our special vacation spot. It is extremely peaceful and the scenery is beautiful to look at. John has been an absolute pleasure to deal with.

The most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen

We had a rough start to the stay. The code the host gave us for check-in did not work to open the door. I nor VRBO could reach the host for a different code. We ended up booking a hotel room for the first night, which was a challenge with two young children. The host didn't return calls until after 10pm. He was apologetic, but it really soured the start to our vacation and we lost a day. VRBO did give us a partial refund. The views in the home are absolutely gorgeous and it was nice to be right on the water with a beach. However it would have been nice to know the bay water isn't really swimmable or safe to walk in due to high numbers of jellyfish. My kids couldn't even play at the edge of the water because they were washing up constantly. The beach was covered with about 30 dead horseshoe crabs which smelled terrible and was a bit upsetting to the kids. The home really does not have much in terms of supplies or amenities. It was the least equipped home I've ever stayed in, which was surprising for the cost. The listing stated towels & linens weren't included, which is a hassle but was at least stated. The only thing supplied were a few rolls of toilet paper. No hand soap, dish soap, trash bags, dishwasher pods, sponges, washing detergent, paper towels, etc. The sand bars at low tide were very cool and my older child loved walking them and catching hermit crabs. I'm not sure if I would return. The home really isn't set up for families and barely feels set up for guests.
