About this house rental
The Summer House at Slaughter Beach
Welcome to The Summer House, located in the quaint waterfront community of Slaughter Beach on the southern shores of the Delaware Bay.
Our hope is that your family creates the same wonderful memories here that we have enjoyed for years. Experience the slower pace of a traditional beach vacation, complete with spectacular sunrises, peaceful evenings, and the soothing sound of gentle waves just steps from your door.
Only 70 feet from the water’s edge, our cottage offers breathtaking views of the Delaware Bay and a relaxing atmosphere perfect for couples, families, grandparents, and children alike.
The Cottage
Enjoy a comfortable stay in our fully furnished beach home featuring:
* 2 bedrooms with queen-size beds
* Queen-size sleeper sofa
* 2 full bathrooms
* Fully equipped kitchen
* Washer and dryer
* Outdoor shower
* Panoramic 180-degree Delaware Bay views from the living room
Bring your kayak for added adventure, or simply enjoy swimming, fishing, beachcombing, and exploring the tidal flats. At low tide, the bay reveals fascinating marine life and endless opportunities for discovery.
Boating & Fishing
The recently renovated Cedar Creek Marina, located just 5 minutes away, offers:
* Modern boat ramps
* Easy launch access
* Ample parking for trucks and trailers
Spend your days boating, fishing, crabbing, or simply enjoying the beautiful Delaware Bay. A small permit fee may be required for boating activities and can be obtained through the marina.
