About this property

The Captain's Quarters

  • The Captain’s Quarters is a charming two-story retreat on the Delaware Bay. Mornings begin with coffee at the cozy kitchen bar and evenings end with sunsets on the breezy sleeping porch. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms promise restful nights. The accessible first floor offers extra sleeping space, a full kitchen (no oven, an 18qt. tabletop oven is on site), and a walk-in shower. Spend your days fishing from the shore or strolling the beach at sunset—this bayside haven blends romance, family comfort, and the timeless rhythm of the tide.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great location and proximity to the beach as well as to our family in Millville. Pet-friendly. Well-equipped kitchen. Perfect place to have our family over for lunch. Wonderful veranda upstairs with a great view of the water. And if it weren’t cloudy, views of the sunset would have been amazing. Will definitely stay again the next time we’re in the area.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Pretty view of the bay from the screened in porch. Good space for our family. Very clean. Mattress in master bedroom was uncomfortable, but that was the only bad part. Downe is remote with barely any grocery/restaurants. It is an authentic, small fishing village. Beach is very narrow. But it is quiet and peaceful. We drove about an hour to Ocean City, NJ so our kids had more to do.
