We were in the area for sports tournaments and extended our stay for a little family vacation. This was a great location. Very family friendly and beautiful views! Kayaks were fun for all ages! We loved being steps away from the beach.

Slaughter Beach again

We love the setting right at the beach. The house is extremely comfortable with enough space, bedrooms and living space to fit in easily 9 people. We love the screened in porch. We loved the nature center close by which should be promoted more.

Quiet and relaxing

Our family had a wonderful time at Bay Blessed beach house. We enjoyed being right on the bay and most days we were the only ones on the beach. All the extra touches at the home were wonderful including a very well stocked kitchen, bicycles, kayaks and screened in porch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Fantastic Stay at Bay Blessed

We had such a wonderful time staying at Bay Blessed. The house was clean and comfortable, the views from the porch for both sunrise and sunset were fantastic, and we enjoyed the quiet location on the beach. We had two young kids with us and we enjoyed the nearby playground and pickleball courts as well as the nature center. Had a fire on the beach one of the nights, which was fantastic! Dinner and games on the screened in porch every night with a view of the sun setting over the wildlife preserve was unmatched! Good for future guests to know that this is not really a swimming beach (very rocky and the water is shallow and murky), so you'll want to pack up and drive to other beaches to swim. We loved Savannah beach, Cape Henlopen state park beach, and Deauville beach (north of rehobeth).

Beautiful and relaxing week at Bay Blessed beachhouse

Our family enjoyed a relaxing week at the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed just about every sunrise and sunset, most of them from the great porch and deck areas. The host was extremely accommodating and made the entire process easy, and provided lots of good tips for things to do in the area.

Perfect for a long stroll on the beach

We very much enjoyed our October stay. The house is very comfortable and meals on the porch overlooking the water were super. The sunrise and moon rises were spectacular. But my favorite part of the stay was the availability of the beach for daily strolls. The beach runs for a couple of miles along the national wildlife refuge and is perfect for long secluded strolls. And lastly the owner of the house (Tina) was very pleasant to coordinate the trip with.

Excellent place to stay. Great house right on the beach. Very clean, it surpassed our expectations .

Absolutely a great place for families with kids of all ages. Right on the beach. Screened in porch which was a great addition to this house. Nature center close by where the kids got a fishing lesson and got to know more about horse shoe crabs. Overall we will be back next year. Great communication with the owner. Great biking and walking the beach.

Great beach family getaway

This was our second year staying at Bay Blessed. This is an ideal spot to please kids and adults alike. Being only steps away from the beach allowed the kids to play close to the house and pop inside for a snack or relax and watch a movie. Adults can walk the beach or hang out surf fishing. There are also some other great beaches nearby such as Beach Plum Island and Cape Henlopen. There are a lot of nearby shoppes and restaurants. You can do as little or as much as you want staying at Bay Blessed! Definitely recommend for a great vacation!

perfect secluded beach house

this is the perfect beach house if you are looking for a quiet house on the beach. we had the whole beach to ourselves and there weren’t any noisy neighbors (there are houses all along the beach but i think most are lived in by locals). just a short drive into town (15 minutes) and only 30 minutes to the busier areas (rehoboth beach and ferry to cape may) if you want to sightsee. check in and out was super easy. couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot!

Beautiful Bay Blessed!

Spacious house with plenty of room for our family to relax together and have time to ourselves too. Everything we needed was there including kitchen supplies, kayaks, chairs, even some firewood! The views were truly beautiful and we enjoyed the natural beach and collecting shells along the water. It is more of a beach for walking along and kayaking instead of swimming, but still very nice to be outside. Definitely bring bug spray the biting flies are out if the wind is blowing towards the East. Easy to get to Lewes or a bit farther to Rehobeth, we appreciated the recommendation for ice cream at Hopkins Farm Dairy! We also enjoyed biking down to the nature center and learning about all the wildlife. A wonderful stay.

Relaxing beach oasis

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bay Blessed. We had a group of 11 and there was something for everyone. With four kids under 10 this was the ideal spot. They had a great time at the beach but if they got bored they were able to go only a few steps back to the house. The house had an amazing selection of DVDs , games, bikes and scooters to keep their attention. Everyone enjoyed peaceful morning walks to see the horseshoe crabs. This is a fantastic spot for nature lovers. Many days we had the entire beach to ourselves! This beach house was also a short driving distance to other beaches, shops, and restaurants. I would highly recommend this vacation spot to anyone! Thanks Bay Blessed for helping us to create wonderful family memories!

Bay Blessed is heavenly

We had such a fabulous time during our stay at Bay Blessed. This little nook in the world is definitely a hidden gem. It was so quiet and peaceful, we practically had the beach to ourselves on most days. There were so many treasures to be found on the beach that we created a game. Everyone gathered their favorite finds throughout the week, at the end of the week each person voted on what they thought was the best find and the winner received a $50 Amazon gift card. It was well worth the cost of the gift card because this provided hours and hours of fun for the whole family. The prize winner was a huge conch shell. Other fun activities were bike rides to the nature center, pickle ball at the the local courts, kayaking (provided), paddle boarding (we brought our own), game nights, a trip into Rehoboth for dinner and the boardwalk, a trip to Kings Homemade Ice Cream, dinner at the Palace (sooo much delicious food for a reasonable price and great service), we even rented a metal detector from the local Sunbelt for a few days and had fun looking for buried treasure. My most favorite spot of all was on the screened in porch, we spent many hours there having coffee/tea, chatting, etc. Other than linens, the house has everything you might need for the week. This heavenly spot is definitely on the list of rentals we would consider visiting again. Thank you Tina & Joel for sharing your home with our family!

Great week!

House was absolutely wonderful and exactly as listed on VRBO. Owners were very quick to respond to our questions and spent a lot of time putting together information about the area. Kitchen was very well stocked. As mentioned in previous comments the upstairs master did get a little warm - but with some adjusting as suggested in the welcome packet we were able to cool it down at night. We loved walking on the beach every morning, looking for sea glass and shells. The wildlife around is just incredible. We saw rays in the water when we went paddle boarding one day, a fox on the beach and some deer tracks. We enjoyed spending the days in the screened in porch or fishing. My husband and son caught a few dogfish. Sunrise and sunsets were absolutely stunning. Sunsets on the roof deck were out of this world! Our week was very warm, and with that it seemed there were lots of jellyfish and horseflies (both out of control of the owners, but did want to mention). It seems we were at the tail end of things, but again I just wanted to mention. Overall, great place! Lots of room for everyone in our group.

Slaughter Beach - Lovely House

This house, sitting directly on the beach in a very quiet area and comfortably housing our group of 7 (could fit 10-12 adults+), was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The kitchen is very well stocked with all that is needed for prepping and serving meals., including modern appliances, small and large. The kitchen-grand room area was lovely for hanging out as a group. The exterior decks and porches provided added hang out space and afforded great views of the bay. The bedrooms/bathrooms offer a variety of sleeping configurations, including for children, and also had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Though we brought our own supplies needed for the stay, the owners were quite gracious, offering use of supplies (on a use it, replace it basis) and other personal items. We really enjoyed use of the kayaks on the bay! There's plenty of parking - we easily fit 6 cars. Renters should know that the house main living area is a full two stories above the ground and access to that area is by way of two large flights of steps. Most bedrooms are on the level directly below the living area. Plan for lots of step training during the stay :-) The owners were very communicative prior to our stay, quickly answering all questions and providing all needed info in a pleasant and kind manner. Grateful for that as it makes the process of securing a good space a lot easier. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Tina

Host profile image
Hello,
We're Joel and Tina. Joel is a property investor and Tina recently retired from her job as an elementary school teacher. We have two grown sons, beautiful daughters-in-love and 4 precious grandchildren! Joel's hobbies include fishing and jet skiing. Tina loves to go to yard sales! We both love to travel and spend quality time with our family and friends. We absolutely love it when you tell us a bit about yourself when you book!

Why they chose this property

We live in Pennsylvania but grew up visiting the beaches in Delaware and Maryland. When a friend invited us to stay in his beach house in Slaughter Beach, we knew we'd found our ideal beach town. We love the peacefulness of this quiet beach town where we can sleep with the windows open and listen to the waves crashing but have all of the boardwalk fun just a short drive away. We're so grateful to be blessed with this beach house that we can enjoy vacations with all of our family and friends together in one place. We hope that you get to make some precious memories here as well!

What makes this property unique

One fun feature of the beach house that we absolutely love is gazing at the stars from the rooftop deck. We never knew there were so many stars until we climbed up there for the first time! The rooftop deck also offers amazing daytime views of the entire town. For Tina's 50th birthday, her dad built her the cool lifeguard chair that overlooks the beach. It's the ideal spot for sitting alone or with a friend and watching the waves lap over the beach. The "big, comfy couch" in the upstairs master bedroom is a fun place to gather everyone for movie nights. It also doubles as a great place for an afternoon nap! When you visit, you'll notice that there are always ships directly in front of the house. That's because the beach house overlooks a direct shipping route to ports to the north. It's fun to grab a pair of binoculars (provided) to read the names of the ships passing by. While you have those binoculars, be sure to check out the osprey nest on the west side of the house in the nature preserve. Then, after all of that napping and nature watching, beach campfires can be a fun way to end a perfect day!
