Lots of privacy
This house is on a corner lot and has privacy on three sides. It’s on the edge of a marsh and a nature lover’s dream. I saw 45 bird species over three days. You can launch kayaks right from the property into the Assawoman Canal. Kayaks are available at the house but only one has a seat. The 1970s house is slightly dated but completely functional. The kitchen is well stocked and appliances are newer. Linens are provided. We loved spending time on the screened-in back porch. We would definitely rent this house again.

Quiet Cabin Retreat in need of TLC
Don't get me wrong, we loved the location and the casual atmosphere of this cabin-like home. We loved that it is on the Assawoman Canal with easy access for our kayaks. Close to Assawoman wildlife nature park, the beach, and boardwalk! We did it all!! Even chartered shark fishing with top fin charter in Lewes. The home is somewhat dated in bathrooms and kitchen, although well stocked. The plastic adirondack chairs are very flimsy, which was a shame since the deck and screen porch were fabulous views where wildlife abounds, and sturdier chairs would have made for a more enjoyable less worrisome experience. There was old coffee in the pot and grounds in the basket. Several cracked, chipped dishes. Toilet seats both bathrooms very loose which we fixed. Ceiling fan remote didn't work and was on constantly, later we discovered battery was in backwards. Fridge ice/water dispenser very discolored prob from hard water. Shower head needs a good cleaning or replacement as the jet holes have black mold on them and spray in sev directions. Even with all that, we still enjoyed the home mostly for its quiet location away from the crowds, but still close to everything! Please note, the property management company, Vascasa, manages this home and will bill separately and send docs of their own to sign. They also removed all comments from my review on their site that had the TLC needed itmes.....

Great location!
We have spent many trips at the beach but never on the Assawoman waterways and it was incredible. The house is in an amazing spot with perfect orientation to the vast beauty of the marshes. The house is in need of a deep cleaning as the floors were sticky and clearly have not been mopped in a long time. The house has had cats which should have been advertised for anyone with allergies. There was cat hair on the sofas and strong smell of catboxes in both downstairs closets. Final concern was the bunkbeds were so loose that we could not put sheets ont eh upper bunks safely. We had a set of allan wrenches so we tightened everything up but we got in at night with a family of 6 and needed those beds so it could have been bad since Vacasa does not have after hours service. There are also no cleaning products anywhere in the house to clean up spills or windows. No dish towels at all or toilet paper, dishwasher soap for more than a day or two, so be sure to pack those for yourself. Also no beach towels, chairs or umbrellas, so bring your own. Those are the criticisms but the house is wonderful, the 4 kayaks got used daily, which were so great to have for fishing and touring the marsh. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Never got instructions for what we needed to do in the house for checkout, but checkout process was super easy. Great house for the price and for a really peaceful experience.

Idyllic and wonderful
We loved our time. In fact it may have been the best vacation home we've ever stayed at in terms of location and style. We are nature lovers and the Assawoman wetland setting was amazing. We all love the kayak tours around the canal and marshlands. To have that in the backyard and the ocean down the street is perfect. The home was artistic and tasteful in its simplicity. We'd love to go back any time of year.

Quiet Spot for Those Who Love Nature/Wildlife
This house is ideal for anyone wanting a beach vacation away from the crowds (but close enough to bike to the beach crowds when desired) and anyone who loves nature and wildlife. The view of the marshes from the back screened-in porch is breathtaking. We saw deer, a fox, blue heron, osprey, and lots of other birds while there. The access to the kayaks was a huge bonus - we got to see parts of the canals we’ve never visited before. In many ways, the house made our vacation!
