This place was large enough to accommodate my family size of 10. There was plenty of room to spread around and not to mention, the house was fully stocked with anything and everything you could need. Sean communicates quickly and is very attentive to details. Thank you Sean.

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.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at this great home! It was steps to the beach and their recommendation for JP’s was also great. The beds were super comfortable. Lovely home with great communication from the owner! Only negative was the taste/ smell of the water but we just had bottled water and it wasn’t a problem at all.

The Captain’s Quarters afforded us a wonderful beach trip. Plenty of room for everyone and more than enough bathrooms. I’ll miss master bath! The house was conveniently located close to the beach. The kids had a great time in the Bay.

We stayed at this beach house for a short weekend in February. It was a beautiful house with everything you need for a large family. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. And only one block to the beach! Mattresses were comfortable and brand new.

This is our second stay at Captian's Quarters as part of the annual American Select girls lacrosse showcase event. We comfortably slept 4 families and enjoyed all the amenities and upgrades the owner did since our last visit. The little community of Bowers Beach is great for a quick beach run, excellent food, and a fun night time tavern for adults; all within a 5 minute walk. Sean is a great owner and very responsive to anything you need.

We came with friends to spend our NYE here. It was nice and relaxing. The weather became nice enough to walk to the beach and see a beautiful sunset. The neighborhood was relatively quiet during our stay.

The house is in a great location to quickly get to the beach and walk around the area. House comes equipped with everything you need and a great set-up for two families with young kids.

We stayed at this property to be close to family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The owner did a great job communicating and shared helpful resources about the area. The home lived up to all expectations. It was clean and well kept. We loved being able to walk down the street to the beach, which was beautiful even during the off season.

Fun time had by all! Walk out the door to beach, fishing and crabbing. Great restaurant and ice cream within walking distance. Use of bikes and beach chairs. Amazing stay. Thank you!

Captains Quarters is a great house with plenty of space for 10-12 people. We had 5 people so everyone got their own room. Close to the beach, one restaurant in the area but it was fantastic, great burgers and best ice cream ever! Similar houses in Rehoboth or Dewey cost 50% more so we enjoyed the same area for a much better value.
