Family Reunion

Had a celebration of my father’s life who would have been 100. Family from 4 states gathered and stayed in Bowers Beach to get reacquainted and we unturned his ashes at a family cemetery. Despite the heat we enjoyed the water and waves at Rehoboth. The house was spacious and the host accommodating. Lovely to have space.

Captains Quarters

We had a wonderful time at the Captains Quarters. The house was as advertised and very clean. Its location was central to our activities. JP Wharf restaurant was very close (walking distance) and food there was excellent. We highly recommend this VRBO.
