Christmas Trip

Everything was set up wonderfully and the property was beautiful. My husband, dog, and I had everything we needed, were able to take beautiful beach walks every day, and had easy communication with Beth if we needed anything. It was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come again!

Cute little cabin on the river

The views are amazing, you can't get any closer to the water. The house is adorable, spacious and has a lot of extras to make you feel welcome. Beth is a great host and responds very quickly to any questions. This was our second visit and plan on going again in the spring.

Hidden Gem

What an amazing and cozy little cottage with awesome views of the Delaware river. Beth was wonderful and thought of everything! From the comfortable beds to the fine linens and bedding, Beth had it covered. The home is well appointed, very clean, and located towards the end of a quiet and peaceful dead-end street. Our three dogs felt right at home; we were thrilled to find such a quaint place that allowed us to bring them along. We highly recommend Beth’s cottage and we would definitely book again in the future! Thank you for sharing your home with us 3

Cozy, comfortable cottage

The cottage was equipped with everything (and more) we could possibly need. Beachfront view and walkability of the neighborhood were terrific. Our host was accessible and responsive. Check-in and check-out were easy. We would enjoy staying here again, in summer, with kayaks.

Awesome!

We had a great time at this little cottage! The views were amazing! We had a storm the first night we were there and lost power for a little bit and the owner reached out to make sure we were ok. The sand was kind of rocky but flip flops fixed that problem! We were able to take our dog and my 2 kids and I had a great time! Thank you so much Beth! Hope to make it back someday!

Relaxation Heaven

The property was perfect, even in the windy and cold weather! So many blankets around to snuggle up with and a fireplace heater to feel even cozier! It had everything we needed plus more. We were able to cook when we wanted, enjoy a cup of coffee, and do absolutely nothing! As a busy mom, it was heaven. The snack baskets and games available were greatly appreciated. Also, the host is right next door if anything is needed or if you have any questions. We loved being able to take our pups as well. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Cute Cottage on Delaware River

Had a wonderful time at Beth’s cottage. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. She has everything you need for your stay. Just bring your clothes and food. The family came and stayed for a night. We had a campfire at watched the beautiful sunset. It was fun walking along the beach and watching the tanker and freight ships 🚢 go up and down the Delaware. Beth was a great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. She was nice to talk to. We will definitely be back. Thank you Beth for the snack basket too.

Great little beach front experience

Enjoyed the waterfront view and sitting by the water. The sunglasses, flipflops and snacks were nice touches. Property outside could use some clean up and personal touches but overall a great experience!
