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.

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!

Relaxing getaway

A cozy, beautiful cottage with stunning views and relaxing beach. Took many long walks with kids and found whole conch shells. I’ll miss waking up to the sunrise over the bay. Host was very friendly and prompt with replies.

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!

Fantastic Long Weekend

Perfect mother/daughter birthday weekend gateway! Reflection cottage is beautiful and the bay views are gorgeous. It is remote, which is what we wanted to avoid the holiday crowds AND not too far for outings with friends in Rehoboth! Loved it and hope to return next time with the guys too!
