Beautiful house in a great location

We loved our stay at slaughter beach. This is our fourth summer coming to the area and we decided to upgrade our house to something bigger. We were not disappointed.

Top Notch

This was our best VRBO experience to date with exceptional hosts, property, and amenities. The house is beautiful and thoughtfully stocked with anything we could’ve needed as well as many extras. Beachfront with a private beach is just amazing! The gardens surrounding the house are gorgeous and they draw hummingbirds and butterflies. We just sat on the deck with coffee and drank it in. There are various stores about 20 minutes away, and that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted to stay somewhere peaceful and a little sleepy, and this fit the bill perfectly. I would live here if I could!

Blown away by how great this house/property was upon arrival. The owner answered all of our questions-and there were a lot. It was perfect for our family of seven. Recommend the town of Milton for groceries and local restaurants. Quick drive to Lewes for charter fishing as well. We can’t thank the owners enough for the great vacation we had at their home.

Beautiful location.

The house is very comfortable overall. The upstairs with all the bedrooms is a little close, and the room listed as having a double bed and twin bed is a trundle bed. There was no backup toilet paper in the house for a four night stay. But everything was clean, comfortable, and in working order. The back deck / patio / yard / beach access is truly wonderful.

Family get together

The property was lovely. The interior was nicely decorated and the landscaping was gorgeous. We saw hummingbirds and goldfinches in the garden during our stay. That being said, the cottage was small. While it officially sleeps seven, our group of six adults was really too large for comfort. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small and one of the bathrooms is next to the front door. The location on the beach was wonderful and there was virtually no one else around, but the beach was very rocky and the water very murky. Our biggest problem was the insects. I don't know if it was the time of the season we were there or because there had been a recent storm, but we were attacked by giant flies and mosquitoes. At times, it was not possible to be outside. I came home with dozens of insect bites.

Quiet Cottage for Relaxation

Our vacations are focused on pausing and taking time to enjoy each other as a family. This cottage was the PERFECT setting for this. The space was immaculate and thoughtful. We love the bay and with a stormy day during our stay, the breeze was beautiful and the shell finds were excellent! The owners were responsive, kind and generous with their help and timely answers!

We loved having very friendly and welcoming hosts who communicated well and made check in super easy. We did feel that the property wasn't clean enough for the price point, and that was disappointing. The home is decorated beautifully and we saw some wonderful sunsets on the beach.

Not so exquisite...

Great location, very quiet... We planned to stay a whole week, unfortunately, we had to cut our vacation very short (three days) due to an infestation of fruit flies. The bedrooms and bathrooms are small, and the house needs a thorough cleaning. The kitchen is well equipped, but the outdoor grill had seen better days. No privacy in the living room. The house next door is very close, and there are no window treatments in this room.

Pride Of Ownership

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Reflections Cottage. The view when we walked in the door was stunning and it was apparent that the owners took pride in their home. It was really lovely and quiet and not too far from the hustle and bustle of Lewes and Rehoboth. Would love to return in the Fall when the green head flies are nowhere to be found! Thank you for having us in your wonderful home.

Perfect beachside cottage

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely renovated cottage. The house had everything we needed (as advertised), the beach is private and gorgeous, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Yes, you have at least a 10 minute drive to find restaurants, stores, etc but it’s a small price to pay for the gorgeous beachfront views. Enjoy!
